About the role

  • Develop and own quality strategies for features and releases, determining the appropriate mix of manual testing, automated testing, and developer contributed testing based on risk, complexity, and customer impact.
  • Embed within scrum teams and partner with developers from the start of each sprint, contributing to requirement reviews, design discussions, and testability decisions before a line of code is written.
  • Work with developers to ensure they are contributing meaningfully to unit and integration test coverage, providing guidance, review, and coaching on testing practices.
  • Build, maintain, and extend automated test coverage across API, UI, and integration layers using sound engineering practices. Treat automation as a product that requires design, maintainability, and ongoing investment.
  • Identify and prioritize testing based on real world GRC workflows and customer usage patterns, ensuring test coverage reflects how customers use the platform, rather than how it is implemented.
  • Proactively identify quality risks early in the development cycle, bring proposed mitigation strategies, and escalate concerns with sufficient lead time for the team to act.
  • Contribute to CI/CD quality gates, ensuring automated tests run reliably on every build and provide meaningful, actionable signal rather than noise.
  • Analyze failures, escapes, and production defects to identify root causes and recommend systemic improvements that reduce recurrence across the team.
  • Collaborate with Customer Enablement to incorporate real customer scenarios, edge cases, and support patterns into test coverage.
  • Contribute to quality visibility by tracking and communicating test coverage, pass rates, escape rates, and trends in a way that informs engineering decisions.

Requirements

  • 8 or more years of quality engineering experience with a demonstrated track record of owning quality outcomes across the full development lifecycle, not just test execution.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to develop quality strategies that determine the right approach for a given feature, release, or risk profile.
  • Proven experience partnering with developers in an embedded or shift left model, influencing how teams write code rather than only testing after the fact.
  • Solid automation engineering skills including API testing, UI automation, and integration testing, with the judgment to know when automation adds value and when it does not.
  • Experience contributing to or owning CI/CD quality integration, including test reliability, pipeline health, and actionable test reporting.
  • Ability to analyze defect patterns, escapes, and production issues and translate findings into systemic recommendations rather than one off fixes.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to articulate quality risk and testing strategy clearly to both engineering peers and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience in regulated industries or with compliance, security, or risk management platforms. GRC, FedRAMP, or NIST familiarity is a meaningful advantage given the depth of domain knowledge required to test effectively in this space.
  • Background in enterprise SaaS companies where quality strategy had to account for enterprise scale, multi-tenant complexity, and high stakes customer environments.
  • Experience with performance and load testing, particularly validating system behavior under enterprise scale conditions.
  • Familiarity with security testing practices and secure software development in a compliance focused product context.
  • Experience building or improving quality visibility through dashboards, metrics, and reporting that drive engineering decisions rather than just satisfy reporting requirements.
