Job Level
About the role
- Guide framework decisions: Choose and standardize testing tools (RSpec over Minitest, Jest over Mocha) and lead architectural adoption across the platform
- Build enablement infrastructure: Design factory patterns, data seeds, and service stubs enabling sophisticated testing in inner development loops without full integration
- Define quality standards together: Establish coverage thresholds, test suite structures for product types, and boundary metrics giving teams clear targets
- Optimize delivery pipelines: Integrate quality gates into CI/CD, balance performance and reliability, and analyze data to eliminate shipping bottlenecks
- Mentor and share best practices: Collaborate with teams on avoiding flaky tests, designing testable code, and building robust automated coverage
- Enable data-informed improvements: Analyze quality metrics (flaky tests, incidents, DORA) to identify systemic issues and facilitate process improvements
Requirements
- Experience with Ruby on Rails applications
- Building or evolving test automation frameworks (RSpec, Capybara, Playwright, or similar)
- Production systems and collaborative debugging
- Translating quality metrics into actionable improvements (DORA metrics experience a plus)
- Mentoring or coaching teams to strengthen engineering practices
- Nice to have: GCP, Docker, or containerized environments
- CI/CD pipeline optimization
- Interest in using AI to boost testing productivity
- Ruby on Rails experience is required—most of our platform is Rails.
