What You’ll Do

Define and execute the technical vision for quality engineering across FInancial Reporting Products, including reusable test tooling, infrastructure, standards, and paved-road developer experiences
Set and own governance standards that keep AI-generated code and agent integrations safe, testable, and consistent across services. Rate every agent-callable surface for AI readiness before integration, and define rollback or human-confirmation paths for agent actions.
Architect, build, and evolve scalable automated test frameworks that support API, integration, contract, end-to-end, user-workflow, performance, and resiliency testing
Design and implement quality-platform capabilities for complex distributed systems, including CI/CD integrations, test-environment strategies, release validation, and actionable quality signals
Drive comprehensive performance, load, scale, reliability, and chaos-testing approaches for critical services and customer workflows
Establish meaningful quality metrics, telemetry standards, and dashboards that help engineering teams identify release risk, system vulnerabilities, and customer-impacting regressions early
Partner with product and engineering teams to embed quality practices throughout planning, development, delivery, and production operations
Lead multi-quarter, cross-functional technical initiatives from problem definition through architecture, implementation, adoption, and measurable outcomes
Work closely with Principal Engineers, Product Directors, and Engineering Leadership to align quality investments with product strategy, architectural roadmaps, and customer needs
Prototype and personally deliver high-leverage platform components while enabling product teams to adopt and extend shared capabilities
Lead and mentor Senior and Mid-level engineers, raise the technical bar for quality engineering, and create repeatable practices that scale beyond a single team
Champion a customer-centered quality mindset by connecting production signals, user workflows, and engineering decisions to the customer experience
Drive alignment across product lines and stakeholders to resolve ambiguous technical problems and establish durable engineering standards

What You’ll Need

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
4+ years of experience in software engineering, software development in test, test infrastructure, quality engineering, or a related technical discipline

Preferred Qualifications

Experience leading complex, ambiguous, multi-team technical initiatives from technical strategy through delivery, adoption, and measurable outcomes
Demonstrated fluency operating with and evaluating AI-assisted/agent-authored code, at an advanced level. Experience building evaluation frameworks that measure AI agent decision-correctness, not just latency/availability/uptime.
Managed outsourced testing teams
Deep experience designing and building scalable automated testing strategies, frameworks, and tooling for distributed systems, microservices, APIs, and backend infrastructure
Strong software engineering fundamentals and proficiency in one or more modern languages, such as Type Script, Python, Go, Java, or Java Script
Experience building quality capabilities across the software delivery lifecycle, including CI/CD integration, test environments, release validation, observability, and multiple testing layers such as unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, performance, and resiliency testing
Experience architecting quality-engineering solutions in cloud-native environments and with tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, and Playwright
Demonstrated ability to influence technical leaders, mentor engineers, establish reusable platforms…
