Salary
💰 $148,000 - $185,000 per year
About the role
- Lead the transformation of our Quality Engineering practices into a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) discipline – engineers who write substantial, production-grade code and engineer quality systems that scale
- Partner to define and execute upon a Quality Engineering transformation roadmap grounded in modern SDET principles
- Spearhead scalable test orchestration platforms capable of executing complex, interdependent validation workflows across distributed systems
- Empower the team to design, deliver, and maintain reusable test frameworks, harnesses, and shared quality infrastructure
- Influence application development and platform architecture to improve testability, observability, isolation, and fault diagnosis
- Drive the institutionalization of risk-based testing and coverage strategy aligned to business-critical workflows
- Design Quality Engineering practices that explicitly reduce developer cognitive load, formalize requirements clarity (Definition of Ready, Spec Driven Development), and strengthen testability at the source
- Lead programs that materially increase release confidence and organizational trust
- Establish engineering excellence across all layers of validation: Unit, component, integration, API, system, and end-to-end testing
- Architect fast, deterministic feedback loops through parallelizable test design, intelligent test selection and test gap analysis, and impact-based test execution strategies
- CI/CD automation workflows and automated quality gates that optimize for signal quality, minimize cognitive overhead, and preserve developer flow
- Champion enterprise-grade test reporting and analytics systems using platforms such as Allure, ReportPortal, or equivalent.
- Transform large-scale test execution data into decision-grade quality intelligence
- Elevate reporting from static output to decision infrastructure and align quality metrics with measurable business outcomes (CFR, MTTR, defect escape rate, release stability)
Requirements
- 8+ years of demonstrated experience with progressively increasing responsibility, from hands-on engineering execution to organizational leadership in software quality and test automation
- Experience leading engineering teams of 5 to 12+ engineers
- Proven experience building test frameworks, test orchestration systems, and software quality-focused tooling
- Deep hands-on experience with TypeScript/JavaScript ecosystems (React, Jest, Playwright, Cypress, etc.)
- Polyglot engineering background (Node.js/JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, etc.)
- Expertise in enterprise test results reporting and quality analytics platforms
- Demonstrated history of progressively increasing responsibility – from hands-on engineering execution to system-level architecture and organizational leadership
- Proven ability to expand scope from individual contributor impact to team-level and cross-functional enablement
- Demonstrated ability to break complex problems into first principles and execute decisively
- Strong ownership mindset and long-term systems thinking.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity based on role
- Policies and managers that support work/life balance, like our flexible paid time off and parental leave programs
- 100% paid-premium option for medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Lifestyle stipend to support your physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing
- Flexible work-from-home policy and open to remote
- Remote and WFH options, as well as a beautiful, state-of-the-art office in Dallas’ Deep Ellum, for those who prefer an office setting
- Employee-led diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
