What you'll do

  • Design and champion internal Quality Programmes.
  • Drive engineering-wide process changes and ensure pods adopt new reliability standards without friction.
  • Operate with a product-owner mindset to define and evangelize the internal reliability roadmap.
  • Build SDLC observability pipelines using APIs across the existing stack to collect, aggregate, and visualize engineering and quality telemetry.
  • Deliver self-service dashboards giving Engineering Managers and pod leads visibility into delivery efficiency and SDLC bottlenecks.
  • Define and enforce hard metrics for deployment health, including Change Failure Rate, Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Time to Restore, Regression Rate, Release Failure Rate, PR-failure rate, and code review depth.
  • Establish and automate reporting for Key Quality Indicators.
  • Architect shift-left pipeline gates by adding automated Performance, Security, and Accessibility checks into the CI/CD pipeline at PR level with Eng Core.
  • Build real-world load testing for every customer onboarding.
  • Validate real-world assumptions using tools such as k6, Locust, Gatling, or JMeter.
  • Engineer synthetic data and production canaries.
  • Build architecture for safe synthetic data injection to unblock heavy load-testing and live-production canaries.
  • Strictly isolate test data from authentic user telemetry.
  • Use AI assistants such as Gemini, Claude, Cursor, and Codex to accelerate development of testing frameworks, automate infrastructure code, and design advanced testing architectures.
  • Drive tooling consolidation by leading technical migration away from expensive legacy testing infrastructure to a unified, AI-supported automation stack.
  • Maximize value of existing platforms rather than introducing unnecessary vendor complexity.
  • Help define and maintain development practices.
  • Enable fast iteration while ensuring quality, including writing tests and documenting key implementations.
  • Understand business problems, engage with stakeholders, and shape solutions.
  • Act as a high-leverage technical bridge between Quality and Eng Core.
  • Build automated safety nets and engineering telemetry to increase deployment velocity and reduce code-related incidents.

What they require

  • 5+ years of experience in software with proficiency in one or more common languages such as Python or Go.
  • Comfortable working across different technical systems and concerns.
  • Expertise in backend infrastructure, platform engineering, and SDLC observability.
  • Experience working at a systems level with modern developer infrastructure and production telemetry.
  • Ability to query, combine, and process data from tool APIs such as GitHub, Linear, GCP, Sentry, Grafana, incident.io, or equivalents like GitLab, Jira, or Datadog.
  • Experience building mechanisms that make engineering health visible, not just consuming someone else's dashboard.
  • Experience personally instrumenting hard quality metrics such as Change Failure Rate, Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Time to Restore, Regression Rate, Release Failure Rate, PR-failure rate, code review depth, or SLIs/SLOs and error budgets.
  • Strong product-oriented mindset.
  • Care about outcomes over output and understanding the business impact of work.
  • Experience building and refactoring complex, often distributed, systems.
  • Experience with declarative infrastructure as code deployment patterns.
  • Experience with public cloud platforms such as GCP and/or AWS.
  • Hands-on experience with load and performance testing is welcome, or willingness to build it.
  • Ability to handle synthetic data safely so test traffic never contaminates real user telemetry.
  • AI experience in testing tools and architecture.
  • Knowledge of building systems with AI agents as partners.
  • Clear strategies for strictly verifying and validating AI-generated code and infrastructure outputs before merge.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to adapt quickly to new challenges and technologies.
  • Comfort with regular early-morning or evening calls due to collaboration with colleagues in Hong Kong.
  • Operate as a high-leverage Individual Contributor and reliability champion.
  • Ability to negotiate with engineering pods and leadership to roll out and adopt critical quality processes across the SDLC.
  • Strong bias for action.
  • Comfort holding the line on quality standards when deployments are at risk.
  • Systems-oriented approach to improving how the company builds, deploys, and scales.

Benefits
