We're looking for a highly technical Senior Quality Engineer to lead quality practices within one of Cross River's core engineering teams.

Who You Are

• A highly technical Quality Engineer with extensive experience driving software quality across the entire development lifecycle.
• An expert in API testing and test automation, with strong test design and risk-based testing skills.
• A strategic thinker who can balance hands-on execution with defining broader quality practices, processes, standards, and testing strategies.

• Own the quality of everything your team delivers, setting the quality bar and helping developers consistently meet it.
• Act as the team's quality leader, defining and driving testing strategy, quality standards, validation approaches, and engineering quality practices.
• Champion a quality-engineering mindset where quality is built into design, development, testing, and deployment rather than treated as a final validation step.
• Assess new features for risk and ensure appropriate validation and test coverage for critical functionality.
• Partner closely with developers, who own and implement much of the automated test coverage, providing guidance, standards, reviews, and hands-on support where needed.
• Create comprehensive test plans and risk-based validation strategies.
• Define testing architecture, frameworks, quality gates, and CI-integrated testing practices.
• Review automation code and provide technical guidance on test reliability, maintainability, and effectiveness.
• Contribute directly to test automation efforts when needed.
• Monitor, diagnose, and resolve CI pipeline failures to maintain engineering productivity.
• Analyze quality metrics, production health indicators, and reliability trends.
• Drive improvements in product reliability, release confidence, and overall engineering quality.
• Lead root-cause investigations and drive corrective and preventive actions.
• Promote quality best practices through documentation, knowledge sharing, and ongoing mentorship.
• Evaluate and leverage AI-powered tools and approaches to improve testing efficiency, coverage, and productivity.
• Serve as the team's quality subject matter expert, helping shape technical decisions related to testability, observability, validation strategy, and release confidence.
• Collaborate across Engineering, Product, and DevOps to shape the future of quality at Cross River.
