Agile Delivery Lead - Quality Engineering

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Quality Engineering & Agile Delivery Lead to establish and drive quality engineering, test automation, release management, and Agile delivery practices for a cloud-based software platform.

This is not a traditional manual QA or Scrum Master role. The ideal candidate will combine strong software quality engineering expertise with hands-on test automation and Agile leadership to help engineering teams deliver reliable, scalable, and high-quality software efficiently.

The successful candidate will own the quality engineering strategy while facilitating Agile processes that enable teams to plan, develop, validate, and release software with confidence. This role requires a strong technical background, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate across Engineering, Data, AI/ML, and Product teams.

• Design and develop automated testing frameworks for APIs, user interfaces, data pipelines, integrations, and end-to-end workflows.

• Establish comprehensive regression testing and release validation processes.

• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous delivery.

• Develop testing strategies for cloud-hosted applications and distributed systems.

• Coordinate functional, integration, performance, security, and reliability testing.

• Establish defect management processes, root-cause analysis practices, and quality metrics.

• Define release-readiness criteria and ensure deployments meet established quality standards.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 5+ years of experience in Software Quality Engineering, Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), or software development and testing.

• Strong hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks and test strategy development.

• Experience testing APIs, web applications, distributed systems, and cloud-based applications.
