Responsibilities

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer in Quality Engineering who will serve as a technical lead and innovator for our quality engineering efforts with proactive and solution oriented initiatives. This role is a greenfield opportunity – you will have the chance to shape quality strategy from the ground up and make a significant impact on our engineering culture and product excellence.

In this role, you will shape and drive quality engineering practices across teams: guiding test strategy, raising the bar on automation design and maintainability, and improving how we validate microservices, APIs, and distributed workflows. You will build and maintain CI/CD test pipelines, strengthen service testability, and help teams diagnose hard-to-reproduce issues using logs, traces, and other technical evidence.

The ideal candidate is someone who asks great questions while learning quickly, finds creative technical and process solutions to testing challenges, and has a proven record of driving improvements with modern AI tools.

Lead cross-team quality engineering initiatives in partnership with QA, Engineering Managers, and developers, with primary focus on back-end services.

Define and drive automation strategy and standards (framework design, maintainability, reliability), raising the quality bar across teams.
