Role Description We are establishing the role of Quality Automation Architect to lead the modernization of our software quality management practices, tooling, and mindset. As a payment processor and licensed money transmitter, PayNearMe operates in a regulated, high-stakes environment with a high bar for quality. We're investing heavily in agentic AI workflows that will substantially accelerate how quickly we produce code — and we need our ability to validate that code to scale at the same pace. Your primary objective will be to drive our transformation to a fully automated test suite and deployment pipeline while maintaining our current extremely high quality metrics. - Define and lead the technical approach for modernizing software quality across our engineering organization, evolving from QA-as-gatekeeper toward a shared ownership model. - Assess our current QA processes, test automation, manual testing practices, release validation, and tooling, then develop a practical roadmap for reaching successive levels of maturity. - Propose and implement tooling, workflows and practices for building quality into the agentic SDLC. - Establish a long-term vision for quality management that reduces handoffs and allows development pods to operate with autonomy. - Partner closely with proddev leadership, SGRC, QA, and performance testing teams to align quality management practices with business risk, regulatory needs, and delivery goals. - Define, track, and report the metrics that will shape decisions, such as coverage and defect escape rates. Test Architecture & Automation - Define a modern test pyramid with clear definitions, ownership, and goals for unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, exploratory, and production validation layers, along with specialized considerations such as performance and security. - Improve the reliability, speed, maintainability, and signal quality of our automated test suites; guide appropriate use of existing tools while identifying opportunities to improve, replace, or supplement them. - Develop strategies for test data management (seed, synthetic, and production-like sets), environment reliability, contract testing, service virtualization, synthetic monitoring, and automated smoke testing. - Identify opportunities to leverage agentic AI in test generation & scenario discovery, and design workflows and skills for multi-agent analysis of generated code. Release Readiness - Design quality gates that are risk-based, automated where possible, and integrated into CI/CD pipelines. - Improve sandbox and production smoke testing so that post-deploy validation becomes faster, more automated, and more reliable, supporting a fast-rollback strategy when needed. - Collaborate with teams to define what “ready to release” means for different types of changes, services, and risk profiles. Mentorship and Change Leadership - Provide technical mentorship to QA engineers, software engineers, and engineering leads. - Teach modern quality engineering practices through pairing, workshops, documentation, architecture reviews, and hands-on examples. - Build buy-in and drive change across teams by showing practical improvements rather than imposing abstract process changes. - Help cultivate a culture where quality is owned broadly by engineering, supported by QA expertise, and embedded throughout the delivery lifecycle. - Approach change with empathy, especially for team members whose current roles and responsibilities will evolve. Success in This Role - Fully automated quality regression and smoke tests that allow for high confidence releases. - North star: A green build is safe to deploy. - Clearer testing standards across application, service, API, and event-driven boundaries. - Implement state of the art AI based toolchains to constantly improve confidence in releases, with fewer escaped defects. Qualifications - 7+ years of hands-on experience in a software development organization, ideally with a significant emphasis on quality management. Our current stack includes Ruby and Go codebases, and direct experience with one of these (preferably both) is a significant benefit. - Significant experience with agentic software development workflows, skill development, prompt engineering, and supporting tools. - Excellent communication skills; ability to build consensus and influence across teams, considering multiple perspectives and developing solutions that balance them effectively. - Commitment to data-driven decision making — able to develop and test hypotheses effectively, continually adjusting strategy as a result of new information; defining, tracking, and reporting on clear KPIs/OKRs. - Experience leading transformational projects and managing change well, ideally in sensitive, high-complexity environments with significant compliance or regulatory obligations. Benefits - Competitive salary and benefits with growth-company options grant. - Fast-paced and professional work culture. - Stock options with standard startup vesting - 1 year cliff; 4 years total. - $50 monthly communication expense stipend to go towards your phone/internet bill. - $250 stipend to enhance your WFH setup. - Reimbursement for peripheral equipment: monitor (up to $400), keyboard and mouse (up to $200). - Premium medical benefits including vision and dental (100% coverage for employees). - Company-sponsored life and disability insurance. - Paid parental bonding leave. - Paid sick leave, jury duty, bereavement. - 401k plan. - Flexible Time Off (our team members typically take off ~3-4 weeks per year). - Volunteer Time Off. - 13 scheduled holidays.
