We're searching for a QA Architect to own quality strategy, automation, and CI enforcement across engineering. This role sets the standard for how we build, test, and ship software, not just execute test cases. You'll lead the design of our test infrastructure, push automation-first practices across Engineering and Product, and make quality gates part of every stage of the SDLC, from planning to production. This role has the authority to block a release over quality concerns. We need someone who can architect quality frameworks, create department-wide quality plans, wire automated tests into CI/CD, and shift the team's default from catching bugs late to preventing them early.
