Redica Systems is looking for a highly experienced Staff Quality Engineer to elevate software quality across our platform. This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role focused on defining quality strategy, building scalable testing practices, and partnering closely with Engineering, Product, and Data teams.
You will be a technical authority in quality engineering, influencing how we design, test, and release software in a complex, data-driven, regulated environment. This role does not have people management responsibility but carries significant ownership, autonomy, and cross-functional influence.
Key Responsibilities
- Define, implement, and continuously improve scalable QA processes, frameworks, and best practices
- Design, build, and maintain automated testing solutions across frontend, backend, and data workflows
- Establish and track quality metrics to measure product health, risk, and release readiness
- Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Data teams to embed quality early in the SDLC
- Lead test planning, execution, and sign-off for complex releases and high-impact initiatives
- Identify quality risks and proactively define mitigation strategies
- Act as a subject matter expert for system architecture, quality tradeoffs, and testing approaches
- Improve CI/CD pipelines through test automation and quality gates
- Review defects and failures to identify root causes and drive systemic improvements
- Mentor and guide other QA engineers through technical leadership, code reviews, and best-practice sharing
About You
- Tech Savvy: Advanced expertise in software quality engineering, including test strategy, automation, and validation for complex, data-driven, and regulated systems. Deep hands-on experience with test automation frameworks and tooling, and the ability to integrate quality signals into CI/CD pipelines to improve reliability and delivery velocity.
- Decision Quality: Strong ability to identify, assess, and mitigate quality and release risks across interconnected systems and workflows. Uses evidence, metrics, and judgment to inform release readiness decisions and clearly communicate tradeoffs and risk to stakeholders.
- Manages Complexity: Systems-level thinking with a deep understanding of how services, integrations, and data pipelines interact and impact overall quality. Anticipates downstream effects of changes and validates behavior across end-to-end workflows, not just isolated components.
- Problem Solving: Proven ability to design effective, scalable test strategies and investigate complex defects to uncover root causes. Translates findings into long-term improvements to test coverage, system design, and quality practices.
- Engaged: Not only shares our values but also possesses the essential competencies needed to thrive at Redica, as outlined here: https://redica.com/about-us/careers
