Director of Quality Assurance

Overview

We are seeking a Director of Quality Assurance to set the standard for how quality is defined, enforced, and scaled across the organization. This is a leadership role focused on elevating quality to a core engineering discipline, not a support function.

You will operate at a systems level, influencing how products are built from the ground up. This role requires someone who will challenge teams, push leadership, and remove anything that compromises product integrity.

This is not about maintaining QA. It is about redefining it.

What You’ll Do

• Set and enforce the quality bar across all teams consistently and without exception
• Define and drive a unified QA strategy that scales across products, platforms, and teams
• Hold engineering accountable for building testable, observable, and resilient systems
• Influence architecture and design decisions early to prevent defects rather than detect them
• Establish automation as the default through scalable test frameworks and CI/CD integration
• Proactively identify and surface risk before it impacts customers
• Remove friction from release pipelines to increase both speed and confidence in delivery
• Elevate the organization’s quality mindset by mentoring engineers and QA into stronger technical leaders
• Continuously challenge outdated practices and drive measurable improvements in quality and velocity

What You Bring

• 10+ years of experience in Quality Assurance with a proven track record of driving transformation at scale
• Experience operating at a Director level with influence across engineering teams and leadership
• Deep expertise in test automation, CI/CD, and modern quality engineering principles
• Strong ability to uphold high standards and drive change in complex environments
• Architectural and systems thinking with a deep understanding of how quality propagates across distributed systems
• A mindset where quality is foundational and non negotiable

Preferred Experience

• Experience working in high growth or product driven environments
• Background in modern engineering ecosystems including cloud native architectures and microservices
• Familiarity with observability tools, performance testing, and reliability engineering practices
• Hybrid role based in Houston, TX with in person collaboration expected
