Job Level

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
