## Job Description

## What You’ll Do

### Strategy & Leadership
- Rethink QA team methodologies and skillsets/training in a world where AI generates the majority of code — evaluation methodologies, coverage metrics that account for AI-generated tests, and scaling to validation of multiplying volumes of code and use cases, without proportional headcount growth.
- Lead, grow, and inspire a high-performing team of Quality Engineers; own hiring targets, career ladders, and a high impact, innovative culture; Grow leadership muscle in your team.
- Represent quality to executive leadership and regulators with meaningful metrics and auditable evidence; be the organizational quality gate.

### Technical Quality Strategy
- Own an AI-driven technical quality architecture: test data strategy in PHI-constrained environments, CI/CD-integrated gate design, and the automation framework philosophy across unit, integration, and end-to-end surfaces.
- Establish release quality standards and exit criteria that balance engineering velocity with production confidence; Define defect triage and escalation protocols used across teams.
- Partner with platform and MLE to integrate AI/LLM evaluation methodology into the delivery pipeline.
- Deep familiarity with the test automation landscape across languages and stacks

## What You Bring
- 10+ years of software quality engineering experience, with 4+ years in a leadership role and 2+ years driving strategy and execution in an AI-accelerated development environment.
- Track record of building or transforming a quality function at scale — org and role design, not just team management.
- Experience evaluating AI-generated tests for correctness of intent and coverage fidelity — able to distinguish tests that pass from tests that actually verify the right behavior.
- Experience showing measurable impact with mutation testing, risk-based testing, and production observability as a continuous quality gate.
- Experience in regulated environments (HIPAA or equivalent) strongly preferred.
- Excitement to make an impact in rewiring US healthcare!
