The QA Lead Engineer is responsible for overseeing the QA team members who are testing the various applications that have been designed and developed by our engineering teams. You are also responsible for architecting and implementing automated testing solutions. You care about craftsmanship in your work, and you're willing to fight for it. You are an engineer who firmly believes that quality is everyone's responsibility. You enjoy finding vulnerabilities and bugs in existing code, and you're capable of working with a team to fix those issues for good. You'll get to define the process for preventing future issues and measuring confidence in code releases. You'll architect the systems that will expand our automated testing infrastructure and guide other engineers to write automated tests and follow better testing practices. You are the last line of defense to ensure high quality output, and responsible for the last sign off before production release.
