Job Description

This role focuses on program-level impact—standardizing and scaling practices across squads—while maintaining deep, practical engagement through pairing, code reviews, and framework guidance. The role thoughtfully enables AI-assisted capabilities (e.g., test impact analysis, defect pattern insights) where they add clear, explainable value, with guardrails to preserve trustworthy, maintainable automation.

Scope & Impact

Leads quality strategy and capability uplift across a portfolio or program (multiple squads, shared platforms, or critical domain).
Sets and scales reusable patterns, reference frameworks, and coaching playbooks that teams adopt with contextual flexibility.
Serves as a trusted advisor to engineering managers, QE leads, architects, and product partners on quality risk, release readiness, and tradeoffs.

Key Responsibilities

Quality Strategy & Governance (Program-Level)
Co‑define quality strategy for a portfolio/program aligned to business outcomes and architectural direction.
Establish and socialize program standards for test design, test data management, environments, release readiness, and defect prevention.
Maintain a “fit-for-purpose” approach—ensuring practices remain pragmatic, sustainable, and tuned to delivery speed and system complexity.
Coaching & Capability Development
Coach QEs, QE Leads, developers, and SDETs through pairing, test code reviews, and guided implementation of frameworks and practices.
Teach and reinforce shift-left, risk-based testing, contract testing, and quality ownership across roles.
Build and maintain playbooks/patterns (e.g., API-first testing, contract testing templates, deterministic UI strategy, test data strategies).
Mentor aspiring coaches and senior QEs to scale the coaching model.
Automation & Tooling (Pragmatic, Deterministic)
Guide adoption of automation at the right layers (unit, API, contract, integration, UI, performance); prioritize fast, reliable feedback.
Review and evolve program-level automation architecture for scalability, maintainability, observability, and cost of ownership.
Ensure clean integration with CI/CD, trunk-based development, and quality gates (e.g., flakiness thresholds, test health checks, mutation testing).
Enable AI-assisted capabilities where they’re explainable and useful (e.g., test impact analysis, log clustering, flaky test detection)—with guardrails to avoid opaque/low-signal automation.
Technical Authority & Quality Architecture
Promote engineering foundations: testability, observability, contract testing, idempotent test setup, data isolation, and deterministic verification.
Advise on integration risk, platform dependencies, and non-functional testing (performance/reliability, basic security & accessibility signals).
Partner with architects/dev leads to ensure quality is designed-in, not bolted on.
Collaboration & Influence
Partner with product, engineering, DevOps/Platform, and architecture to embed quality early in design and roadmap planning.
Facilitate alignment on quality tradeoffs, standards, test scope, definition of done, and release criteria across teams.
Lead or contribute to workshops, retrospectives, and cross-team improvement initiatives.
Metrics, Risk & Continuous Improvement
Define actionable metrics: escaped defects, test stability/flakiness, coverage effectiveness (by risk area), lead time to detect, and MTTR for test failures.
Drive portfolio-level visibility and signal quality using test management and analytics platforms (e.g., Zephyr Scale/TestRail + dashboards).
Use data to identify systemic issues and run targeted improvement programs (e.g., flaky test burn-downs, API-first adoption, contract coverage expansion).
Apply analytics to inform decisions—never as a substitute for engineering judgment.

Experience

Required Qualifications

10+ years in Quality Engineering or Software Engineering with a strong QE focus.
5–7+ years in QE Lead, Senior QE, or Quality Coaching/Enablement roles.
Demonstrated impact across multiple teams improving automation effectiveness, release confidence, and quality outcomes.

Technical Skills

Strong knowledge of modern SDLCs: Agile, DevOps, CI/CD, trunk-based development, feature flags.
Test strategy & design: risk-based testing, equivalence/BC techniques, property-based testing (where applicable), test data strategies.
Automation expertise across layers:
- API/Contract: REST/GraphQL tools (e.g., REST Assured, SuperTest, Postman/Newman), Pact (or similar).
- UI: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium (with resilient, deterministic patterns).
- Performance: k6, JMeter, Gatling (working proficiency).
CI/CD & ecosystems: GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins; containerized test execution; environment mgmt; basic cloud familiarity (AWS/Azure/GCP).
Observability & quality signals: logs/metrics/traces in tests; flaky test detection, test impact analysis, mutation testing concepts.
Familiarity with test management (e.g., Zephyr Scale/TestRail) and ticketing/defect workflows.

Coaching & Leadership Capabilities

Proven ability to coach without authority, influence senior stakeholders, and align multiple teams.
Strong facilitation, communication, and change enablement skills.
Sound judgment balancing speed, risk, maintainability, and business value.
Comfortable operating at both hands-on and program strategy levels.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience establishing program-level standards, reference frameworks, or maturity models.
Exposure to security, reliability, or accessibility testing practices.
Experience in large-scale distributed systems and cross-team integration risk management.
Contributions to communities of practice, internal tooling, or coaching academies.
Practical evaluation of emerging/AI-enabled testing capabilities with clear guardrails and success criteria.
