As our Director of QA, you will have the opportunity to lead a small team of manual and automated QA engineers, collaborate with product and development teams, and elevate the quality of our software and leadership within our engineering organization. Your guidance and experience will play a pivotal role in improving our products and mentoring our team of QA engineers. 

​

In this role, you will be responsible for building great software and working closely with other QA and engineering team members to enhance overall software quality. We value your expertise and encourage you to implement QA process improvements, recommend tools and methodologies, and automate where it makes sense for our company and team. We're also aiming to enhance the transparency of our software quality to the entire engineering team and company, and we trust you to help us answer important questions about our test coverage, bug fixing timeline, and the number of defects found at different stages of development.

​

Furthermore, you will provide technical guidance for other QA engineers and oversee our manual and automated test suite. Your suggestions and recommendations will be crucial to our success as a data-driven department and company. 

​

Working in a collaborative, remote-first environment, we prioritize deep work and respect your need for independence.

Now, let's talk about requirements. As an essential part of our team, it's important that you embody our core values of kindness, respect, and thoughtfulness.

A solid track record of helping growth stage SaaS companies implement QA best practices is highly desired, along with experience in both manual and automated QA. We're looking for someone with a proven ability to QA high-quality, battle-tested software, and familiarity with tools like Trello, Asana, Shortcut, Jira, and communication platforms such as Slack.

​

As a remote-first company, we require you to have several hours of overlap with Pacific Time for synchronous collaboration with the team. This means you should reside within GMT-8 to GMT-3 time zones.

​

Join our team and enjoy a range of benefits including health benefits, a 401K plan, an education stipend, a bonus plan, an annual retreat, generous PTO and holiday schedule, quarterly financial meetings, open book management, and the opportunity to work closely with a dedicated, intimate team.
