Senior Quality Engineer - Remote Position

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Quality Engineer to join our team remotely. This role is crucial in increasing deployment confidence and velocity by embedding automation and quality signals into everyday engineering work. As a Senior Quality Engineer, you will improve the reliability of low-latency, distributed services running in Kubernetes by catching regressions early and validating failure modes. You will help eliminate "QA phases" by building rapid, team-embedded validation that runs continuously in CI/CD. Establishing clear quality metrics across our microservice catalog will allow teams to see, own, and improve service health over time.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain automation (unit/integration/e2e) that enables continuous deployment with high confidence.
• Create test harnesses and frameworks to accelerate critical-path, upgrade, and failure-mode testing across microservices.
• Validate installation and upgrade workflows for Kubernetes deployments (Helm, manifests, customer-like configuration).
• Run environment and compatibility testing across cloud and customer setups (AWS/Azure, networking/storage/security variability).
• Track, publish, and operationalize quality metrics (coverage, flake rate, defect escapes, regression trends) for each service.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Security—communicate early, document risks, and seek alignment on release readiness.
• Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate test development, triage, and analysis while applying strong engineering judgment.

Requirements

• Experience shipping automation-first quality practices that support safe continuous deployment.
• Strong experience testing microservices/distributed systems, including integration points and failure scenarios.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads (Docker, Helm-based deployments).
• Familiarity with AWS or Azure environments and cloud-native debugging.
• Ability to contribute in at least one of: TypeScript/React, Go, or Python (to build/extend test tools and frameworks).
• Experience working in Agile delivery environments (iterative planning, continuous improvement).
• Strong communication skills; you proactively align stakeholders and surface tradeoffs.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for action—you move forward while clarifying what needs to be figured out.

Nice to Have

• Experience with low-latency/performance testing (p95/p99 regression detection, load testing, scalability validation).
• Familiarity with observability (metrics/logs/traces) and using telemetry to improve test signal and triage.
• Experience building quality dashboards and defining quality KPIs across multiple services.
• Exposure to ML/AI workflows or platforms (e.g., ML-Ops style integrations) and testing those integrations.
• Experience with contract testing, service mesh/API gateways, or event-driven systems.

What We Offer

• Fully Remote: We are a completely remote global team, with intentional team gatherings a couple of times a year.
• Generous stipend for home office setup and annual upgrades for a comfortable workspace.
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits, with fully subsidized options.
• Unlimited and flexible time off for all salaried employees, in addition to 15 paid company holidays.
• Commitment to learning and development through a dedicated fund for training, conferences, and certifications.
• Strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in our hiring practices.
