Engineering
As a Senior Software Quality Engineer at vCluster Labs, you aren't just writing test cases; you are the architect of how we know our product works. You'll own test strategy end-to-end across a fast-moving codebase, build the automation frameworks that give engineering the confidence to ship daily, and be the voice for testability and reliability in every design conversation you're part of.
As a Senior Software Quality Engineer, your role will include:
- Test framework ownership: Lead the design, development, and maintenance of automated test frameworks spanning backend services and UI, built to scale with a fast-growing product.
- Test strategy: Own and drive test strategy across services and features, ensuring coverage is thorough and tied directly to product goals, not just ticket checkboxes.
- Cross-functional influence: Work closely with engineering and product to shape features early, advocate for testability, and align the team on what "quality" means for this product.
- Architectural input: Sit in on architecture and design discussions, bringing a testability and reliability lens before code gets written, not after.
- CI/CD integration: Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) so engineers get fast, high-confidence feedback on every change.
- Exploratory testing: Run exploratory testing to catch usability issues, edge cases, and regressions that automation won't find on its own.
- Parallel execution: Move across multiple projects at once in a startup environment where priorities shift, without losing rigor.
