Standard Process Inc. is looking to accelerate delivery while reducing risk and defect escape by establishing a Continuous Quality program within their Build pillar, embedding automated and manual testing into CI/CD, defining quality gates, and publishing actionable quality metrics.
Requirements
- Hands‑on with test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Postman) and at least one programming/scripting language.
- Demonstrated experience embedding automation in CI/CD and operating quality gates across multiple product teams.
- Experience coordinating UAT and production release quality in agile environments; familiarity with DevOps toolchains.
- ISTQB® Foundation (or equivalent) required; Advanced/Manager, Agile‑testing, or automation certifications preferred.
- Experience in regulated environments (e.g., FDA/GMP CSV, HIPAA, PCI) preferred.
- Systems thinking with analytical rigor (uses meaningful metrics)
- Bias for automation & simplification
Responsibilities
- Define the test strategy and test pyramid (unit service/API
-
- UI) with risk‑based testing aligned to product criticality.
- Set quality gates for CI/CD (minimum unit coverage, static analysis, vulnerability checks, integration/UI automation pass thresholds) and enforce entry/exit criteria for test phases and releases.
- Direct automated testing (unit, API/service, UI, contract) integrated into CI/CD; drive suite stability, speed, and signal‑to‑noise.
- Oversee manual/exploratory testing for complex, usability, and risk‑based scenarios; manage test case design, data, and environments.
- Drive non‑functional testing (performance, accessibility, reliability); coordinate synthetic and canary tests with Operations.
- Champion shift‑left practices (peer reviews, static analysis, SAST/DAST, security test patterns) and manage defect lifecycle from triage to closure.
- Evaluate and implement tooling—including opportunities for AI‑assisted automation—balancing velocity, reliability, and compliance.
Other
- Lead a multidisciplinary team of SDET/SQA professionals; set goals, run 1:1s, coach career growth, and manage performance.
- Recruit, onboard, and develop talent across IC and Team Lead levels; build a culture of engineering excellence, psychological safety, and customer focus.
- Strong leadership and coaching skills; able to set direction, prioritize under pressure, and hold teams and partners accountable.
- Excellent communication and executive presence; builds trust with engineers, product leaders, and auditors.
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field required; equivalent experience considered.
