About the role
- In the age of AI, quality matters more than ever.
- You'll be a force multiplier: someone engineers want to work with, who raises the quality floor across the entire product.
- This isn't a role where you wait for tickets.
Responsibilities
- You'll identify gaps, build the infrastructure, and own the outcome as you elevate quality holistically across multiple teams.
- Partner closely with development teams early on to catch issues and drive testability upstream.
- Design, build, and own end-to-end, integration, and performance test frameworks from the ground up and keep them healthy as the product evolves.
Requirements
- Strong programming proficiency in one or more languages (TypeScript, Python, etc.)
- A track record of meaningful cross-functional collaboration
Nice to have
- Experience at a high-growth startup or late-stage company where ownership, proactivity, and rapid change is the norm.
- Familiarity with performance and load testing tools (Locust, k6, Gatling, or similar).
- Knowledge of observability tooling - logs, traces, metrics - and how to leverage them as a quality signal, not just a debugging tool.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container-based testing environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Mentorship experience - someone who has actively grown the testing capabilities of the engineers around them.
- An opinion on what good quality engineering culture looks like - and the ability to articulate and advocate for it clearly.
- High ownership - You see a gap and fill it without needing to be asked twice.
- Collaborative by nature - Engineers seek you out early.
