Oversee CI/CD quality gates and ensure reliable, actionable test integration.
Identify opportunities to introduce AI for test generation, prioritization, and failure analysis.

Proven leadership of Test Engineering or QE/SDET teams across multiple product areas.
Ability to define testing frameworks and quality approaches without tying the org to specific tools.
Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts, quality gates, and automation fundamentals.
Excellent communication and influence across teams and senior stakeholders.
Demonstrated traits: hungry, humble, and smart.

Familiarity with C++ static analysis and memory‑safety tooling.
Exposure to AI‑augmented testing or analytics-driven quality insights.
