Paragon

QA Engineer

• Own the cross-team quality strategy across Paragon’s product surface area
• Define and enforce a clear testing strategy across unit, integration, end-to-end, and live-environment testing
• Partner with engineering teams to reduce reliance on manual regression and increase high-value automated coverage
• Help define which test coverage should live in the monorepo and which should live in QA-owned live-environment automation
• Establish clear release gates, smoke suites, and risk-based regression standards
• Help evolve our quality systems so Paragon can deploy dozens of times per day with high confidence
• Work with embedded QA engineers to improve consistency in test planning, test case design, bug reporting, release validation, and automation priorities
• Coach teams on what quality ownership should look like for new features so automation is built in rather than added later
• Drive improvements in test reliability, flake reduction, coverage quality, and release confidence
• Partner with platform and SRE on environment stability, deploy verification, rollback confidence, and post-release checks
• Improve the way we triage escaped defects and use them to strengthen the right layer of coverage
• Help shape a quality operating model where QA is focused on high-leverage work rather than acting as a bottleneck for every release
• Act as a player-coach when needed by reviewing test plans, contributing to automation strategy, and jumping into important quality problems directly
