In your first 30 days, you’ll establish a quality baseline, starting with money flows, and agree on measures and targets with the VP of Engineering. Within three months, you’ll have a release bar in use. Within six months, you’ll be working toward agreed quality targets, with measurable improvement in money flows and teams taking greater ownership of testing.

What You Bring

• Experience in a SaaS, scale-up, startup, or other scaling product environment is strongly preferred.
• 7+ years in software quality, including senior ownership of quality strategy or architecture. Experience as a QA Architect, Staff SDET, Principal QA Engineer, or in a similar role is relevant.
• A record of measurably reducing production defects or improving release reliability, and using quality metrics to guide decisions.
• Experience ensuring the quality of systems that calculate or move money, with an understanding of how financial flows can fail.
• A track record of building and scaling test automation frameworks.
• Experience building and improving quality practices in a growing or evolving environment.
• A hands-on, high-ownership approach: you can set the direction, do the work, and help others adopt it.
• The ability to influence engineers and product leaders, explain testing trade-offs, and uphold quality standards without becoming a bottleneck.
• Hands-on experience with TypeScript/JavaScript testing and tools such as Playwright, Vitest, or similar.
• Experience testing REST APIs and validating data in relational databases such as PostgreSQL.
• Experience integrating automated tests and quality gates into CI/CD, particularly GitHub Actions or a similar platform.
• A strong understanding of web application architecture and modern quality engineering practices. Our current stack also includes Flagsmith feature flags.
• Experience using AI development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot to improve testing and automation.
• Experience with performance or load testing tools such as k6, Locust, or JMeter is a plus.
