Staff QA Software Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take charge of the engineering team's quarterly objectives, ensuring consistent and impactful delivery while adeptly managing resources.

• Collaborate within each product team’s codebase to evaluate current test coverage, identify high-risk areas, and assess production readiness gaps to create a prioritized testing roadmap that engineers can reference and implement.

• Develop testing patterns for a multi-language environment, introducing frameworks that simplify testing to the same ease as feature creation.

• Formulate and promote quality policies, minimum quality standards, and production-readiness criteria collaboratively and iteratively with product teams.

• Regularly engage in each team’s workflow, partner on test design for intricate features, review PRs for testing quality, and foster a collaborative testing culture.

• Create and manage what operates within the CI/CD pipeline quality gates (testing suites, linting rules, reporting), with support from the Platform Lead.

• Establish automated PR checks and contributor CI gates to facilitate open-source contribution quality management.

• Advocate for high-quality software delivery by establishing robust tools, processes, and methodologies, along with providing hands-on technical leadership through personal development contributions and code reviews.

• Develop technical documentation and processes to support rapid progress and knowledge transfer.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 5 years of professional software engineering experience, showcasing the ability to function as an engineering peer within teams, not merely as a testing expert.

• Proficiency in Python is essential; familiarity with TypeScript and Go is highly preferred to ensure understanding across teams and the ability to contribute beyond just testing suites.

• Experience integrating testing frameworks from the ground up in at least two different ecosystems.

• Established quality standards and production-readiness criteria for an engineering organization.

• Expertise in integrating CI/CD quality gates into engineering workflows to promote adoption and sustained usage.

• Proven ability to cultivate a testing culture within one or more teams to enhance their capabilities and best practices.
