About the Role!

You'll own and drive the quality engineering strategy across the Karbon application, leading the transformation from a QA gatekeeping model to a developer-led quality culture where squads ship confidently without dedicated QA gatekeepers. This role sits at the intersection of technology, people, and process — building the foundations that enable every engineer to own quality.

We're in a significant transition. Our test automation stack needs uplift, our quality team needs strong technical leadership, and our developers need better tools and enablement to embed quality into their daily workflow. You'll lead this transformation end-to-end.

AI is central to how we want to work. We expect this role to actively embrace and champion AI tooling as a force multiplier for quality engineering — from AI-assisted test generation and intelligent data provisioning to AI-powered defect detection and code quality analysis. You'll set the standard for how AI is integrated into quality workflows and coach the wider engineering organisation to do the same.

What You'll Own

Strategy & Vision

• Owning and driving the Karbon Quality Engineering Strategy across its phased roadmap — from stabilisation through to optimisation and acceleration.
• Defining and championing architectural quality principles: fast feedback, deterministic tests, testing at the lowest viable layer, and shift-left practices.
• Establishing and tracking quality success metrics (release confidence, hotfix rates, developer satisfaction, coverage trends) with fully-automated, repeatable measurement.

People Leadership

• Leading and growing a team of 5+ quality engineers — providing coaching, mentorship, and career development while reshaping the function from inspection-focused to enablement-focused.
• Designing the QE engagement model across squads — determining where embedded QEs add value versus where squads operate independently with QE enablement support.
• Recruiting and developing developer-caliber senior quality engineers who lead by example and advocate for quality within engineering teams.

Developer Enablement & Quality Culture

• Driving a quality-first development culture — making it easier for developers to write, run, and trust tests by improving frameworks, documentation, tooling, and developer experience across all test layers.
• Championing the rebalancing of the test pyramid — shifting coverage down from E2E UI tests to unit, component, and integration layers where feedback is faster and more reliable.
• Leading collaborative quality practices (mob testing, testing parties, three-amigos sessions) and running the QE guild to ensure best practices are documented in-repo as living markdown.

Technical Leadership & AI

• Evaluating and making strategic tooling decisions (e.g. Cypress vs Playwright, Bruno vs .NET-based API testing) and defining the quality engineering approach for the Argo microservices migration.
• Driving improvements to CI/CD test execution — faster feedback loops, tests running on PRs, and reduced pipeline runtimes.
