You will put that into practice by bringing AI-driven testing, intelligent automation, and modern quality tooling into the way our teams work every day. This is a hands-on architecture role, not a policy desk.

Qualifications - Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent work experience is accepted in place of a degree. An advanced degree is a plus. - Experience: 15+ years of progressive experience in software quality engineering, test architecture, or related technical leadership roles, with demonstrated org-wide architecture leadership. - Quality architecture: Deep expertise in test automation frameworks, CI/CD pipeline design, quality gate implementation, and testing strategies for large-scale SaaS platforms. - AI: Hands-on experience applying AI to quality workflows (e.g. AI-driven test generation, intelligent test selection, or automated defect detection). - Leadership: Track record of driving adoption of technical standards across multiple teams or product areas, including working with leaders who do not report to you. - Travel is required: Yes – Approximately 10%. Requirements - Comfortable using generative AI tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or custom LLM integrations) to accelerate day-to-day quality workflows such as test generation, defect triage, and root-cause analysis. - Able to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs and set guardrails so that AI-produced test artifacts meet reliability, security, and compliance standards. - Experience evaluating and integrating AI-powered quality tools (e.g. autonomous testing platforms, AI-based test maintenance, predictive analytics for defect detection) into org-wide workflows. - Open to continuously adopting new AI capabilities as they emerge and excited to shape how the org integrates them into quality practices. Preferred Skills - Experience defining and scaling quality practices across multiple product segments in a large SaaS or cloud-native organization. - Familiarity with contract testing, chaos engineering, or advanced reliability practices (SLOs/SLIs, error budgets). - Bonus points for experience establishing quality centers of excellence or community-of-practice models across engineering organizations. - Exposure to security testing practices, compliance frameworks, or regulated industry quality standards. - Experience with observability and monitoring platforms (Datadog, Splunk, Grafana, PagerDuty) at an architectural level. - Track record of representing an organization externally through conference talks, published writing, or industry working groups in quality engineering.
