  • Foster a "customer first" mindset by continuously running failure analysis to close the testing gap with customer deployments
  • Establish a strong partnership with product management and engineering managers to ensure quality standards are implemented from the start
  • Coach, mentor, and grow a remote-first team of exceptional test engineers focusing on agentic workflows
  • This position may include stand-by, on-call, or off-hours duties

If You’ve Got It - We Want It 

  • Hands-on experience in establishing testing strategy and defining quality metrics for products that will be deployed in both SaaS as well as customer managed environments
  • Thorough understanding of the SDLC and the changes required for agentic development
  • Strong understanding of test architecture, automation, CI/CD, observability, release management, and root-cause analysis.
