• Partner with engineering and product leadership to embed quality practices into system design, sprint planning, and release readiness.
• Lead complex, cross-functional quality initiatives from inception through delivery, ensuring alignment across engineering, product, and operations.
• Establish and track quality metrics and KPIs; use data to identify trends, drive improvements, and communicate quality posture to stakeholders.
• Serve as the primary technical authority on QA tooling decisions, framework selection, and engineering standards.
• Design and execute performance, load, and security testing strategies for enterprise-scale SaaS systems.
• Mentor and develop QA engineers at all levels, elevating the team's overall technical capabilities and professional growth.
• Champion a shift-left quality culture by driving early testing integration and proactive risk identification across the SDLC.
• Evaluate and introduce emerging testing tools, technologies, and methodologies to keep AbsenceSoft's QA practice at the leading edge.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 7+ years of professional QA or software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in a technical lead or principal-level capacity.
• Expert-level proficiency in test automation frameworks and languages (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Java, Python).
• Proven track record designing and implementing automation frameworks used across multiple teams or product areas.
• Deep expertise in SDLC, agile methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps quality practices.
• Experience with performance, load, and security testing tools and methodologies at scale.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to define and interpret quality metrics and drive data-informed decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to influence engineering practices and quality culture across cross-functional teams.
• You're a technical leader with a mentoring mindset — proactive in identifying risks and driving solutions, and a strong communicator who can influence across teams.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is a plus.
• Experience in SaaS, enterprise HR technology, or compliance-driven software environments is a plus.
• Familiarity with leave management, accommodations, or HR technology domains is a plus.
