We are seeking a System QA Team Leader to establish and lead a dedicated System QA team within our Quality & Infrastructure Group. In this role, you will build the team, define processes, and develop a system-focused testing approach that simulates real-world customer scenarios. You will be responsible for uncovering complex, hard-to-find issues before they reach production, ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of one of the fastest NoSQL distributed systems on the market.

Testing our distributed system, which handles tens of millions of operations per second with sub-millisecond latency, is a complex and rewarding challenge. You will work closely with engineering, product, and field teams to design tests that mirror customer environments, rigorously evaluate system-level functionality, and improve testing standards across the organization.

If you are passionate about technology and excited to lead a team focused on end-to-end quality for a global customer base, this role offers an exceptional opportunity for growth and impact within an innovative and dynamic company.

Test Process Development: Develop and implement testing processes, including end-to-end and cross-team feature testing, that ensure high standards for system reliability and scalability.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, product, and field teams to ensure testing priorities align with customer and product needs. Facilitate shared knowledge and collaboration across teams.
Automation and Test Coverage: Drive automation efforts for system-level tests, increasing coverage and consistency. Focus on reducing manual testing and improving test efficiency.
Continuous Improvement: Regularly evaluate and refine QA processes, tools, and techniques to adapt to evolving challenges and raise the bar for quality.
