This role is designed for a quality professional who operates inside delivery teams, influencing design, development, and operations to ensure high‑quality outcomes at speed. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in testing strategy, automation, and risk assessment, and understands how quality is built into software through tight collaboration, fast feedback, and shared ownership across engineering, product, and operations. Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead quality strategy, test planning, design, execution, and reporting for complex, distributed systems
  • Operate as an embedded quality specialist within a product‑aligned team, partnering daily with developers, product managers, and operations
  • Influence quality early by participating in refinement, design discussions, and architectural decisions
  • Enable shift‑left quality practices, ensuring testing, validation, and risk analysis happen continuously—not just at the end of a sprint
  • Leverage AI‑assisted tools where appropriate to accelerate analysis, reduce manual effort, and improve quality feedback loops, while applying sound judgment to validate and contextualize outputs
  • Analyze business and technical requirements and provide clear, pragmatic estimates of quality effort and risk
  • Identify, design, and maintain test scenarios suitable for automation at multiple levels (API, integration, UI)
  • Collaborate closely with developers to identify defects early, provide high‑signal reproduction steps, and validate fixes quickly
  • Proactively surface quality, reliability, and delivery risks and communicate them clearly to the team and stakeholders
  • Track defect trends and quality signals, using them to guide improvements in both testing strategy and engineering practices
  • Ensure quality standards are maintained throughout the entire delivery lifecycle, including deployment and production monitoring
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of quality practices, tooling, and team ways of working
  • Qualifications and Characteristics:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • 10+ years of experience in software quality engineering or testing roles
  • Strong experience working in Agile, iterative delivery environments with cross‑functional teams
  • Demonstrated ability to lead quality efforts without acting as a gatekeeper
  • Proven experience collaborating with Product Managers to shape requirements into effective quality strategies
  • Deep understanding of quality considerations in Cloud‑based and SaaS environments
  • Hands‑on experience with multiple forms of testing: functional, regression, exploratory, performance, and reliability
  • Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and systems‑thinking skills
  • Ability to work independently while remaining highly collaborative within a team
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to influence without authority
  • Preferred / Nice‑to‑Have Experience:
  • API testing and automation experience
  • Test automation tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Postman/Newman, or similar
  • Experience contributing to CI/CD pipelines and continuous delivery workflows
  • Familiarity with GitLab or similar DevOps platforms
  • Experience working in teams where engineers build, deploy, and support what they ship
  • Experience using—or a strong interest in exploring—AI‑assisted capabilities to optimize quality engineering work, with an understanding of where human judgment and deterministic validation remain essential
  • Experience using production signals (monitoring, logs, metrics) to inform quality strategy
  • Familiarity with defect tracking and test management tools such as Jira, TestRail, or equivalents
  • BI or data‑driven application testing experience
  • EHS domain experience is a plus
  • WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
