Staff Software Engineer, Quality Engineering

Where the system stands today

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• 10+ years of experience in Software Engineering, Quality Engineering, or Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) roles, including experience leading quality engineering initiatives across multiple engineering teams.
• Experience designing agentic or AI-assisted quality workflows: agent-generated test coverage, computer-use testing, LLM evaluation and calibration, or comparable systems built around AI-produced output.
• Proven experience designing modern automated testing systems for enterprise SaaS applications - and the judgment to decide which testing work belongs to machines versus humans.
• Strong software engineering skills, including the ability to read, review, and harden agent-produced code and tests (our platform is largely Java and TypeScript).
• Experience with evidence-based release governance: release gates, exit criteria, waivers, and sign-off accountability - and the willingness to put your name on a verdict.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, cloud-native applications, CI/CD, and designing highly testable software architectures.
• Demonstrated experience improving engineering organizations through technical leadership, mentoring, and influence.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical direction across multiple engineering teams.
• Passion for developer experience, engineering enablement, and continuous improvement.

Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Experience building or transforming a Quality Engineering organization in a high-growth SaaS company.
• Previous experience as a Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, Quality Engineering Architect, or senior SDET.
• Experience shipping intelligent test generation, autonomous test maintenance, or agent-driven quality workflows in production.
• Working knowledge of common automation technologies (Playwright, Selenium, REST Assured, JUnit/TestNG, Cypress, or comparable) - as context for supervising and evolving agent-produced automation.
• Experience implementing developer-owned quality, shift-left testing, testing pyramid strategies, and engineering quality metrics.
• Experience with spec-driven or artifact-first development practices - testing derived from executable contracts, with scenario-level evidence as the closeout standard.
• Experience operating test management as a system of record (Xray/Jira or comparable) - plans, executions, and traceability treated as evidence, not paperwork.
• Familiarity with cloud-native platforms, Kubernetes, serverless architectures, and microservices testing.
• Experience leveraging observability platforms to improve production quality and release confidence.
