Come work at a place where innovation and teamwork come together to support the most exciting missions in the world

Qualys is looking for a Lead QA Engineer to own quality for a platform that ingests assets, findings, and risk signals from dozens of third-party security vendors ore — and normalizes them into a single risk model used by thousands of enterprise customers.
You will lead a team of QA and automation engineers, define the test strategy across UI, backend, and data pipelines, and drive our move toward AI-assisted, self-healing automation. This is a hands-on leadership role: you set direction, make release-quality calls, and still write and review framework code. Candidates who have built or meaningfully enhanced AI-based self-healing automation tools will stand out.

Partner closely with development, product, support, and sustenance teams to shift quality left and reduce customer-reported issues.
Test Automation (Hands-On)
Architect and evolve automation frameworks across React/TypeScript front ends, Java/Spring Boot microservices, REST/GraphQL APIs, and Kafka-based pipelines.
