In this role, you will architect test infrastructure, establish organization-wide quality standards, and drive systemic improvements to reliability, coverage, and release confidence across multiple engineering organizations. You will operate at the intersection of product engineering, platform infrastructure, and developer productivity, shaping how quality is built into software at every stage of the development lifecycle. ## Responsibilities - Define and own the long-term quality engineering strategy and test architecture for large-scale distributed systems spanning multiple product areas and engineering organizations - Design and build scalable, reusable test automation frameworks and infrastructure that can be adopted broadly to improve reliability, coverage, and developer productivity - Lead cross-functional quality initiatives by partnering with product engineering, platform, and infrastructure teams to identify systemic quality gaps and drive resolution at the root cause level - Establish and evangelize standards for test design across unit, integration, end-to-end, performance, and fault-injection testing methodologies - Develop and own quality metrics, dashboards, and reporting systems that provide actionable signal on product health, test coverage, and release readiness - Evaluate and improve CI/CD pipeline quality gates, staged rollout validation processes, and feature flagging strategies to reduce production incidents and improve deployment confidence - Identify systemic reliability, scalability, and performance issues through root cause analysis and drive proactive improvements to test coverage and signal fidelity - Mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers across quality and product engineering teams, elevating the overall test engineering craft across the organization - Influence engineering roadmaps and architectural decisions by advocating for testability, observability, and quality as first-class engineering requirements - Drive adoption of quality engineering practices across the organization through documentation, tooling, and cross-team enablement programs ## Qualifications -
