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.
- Actively leveraging AI tools to accelerate quality engineering outcomes — including AI-assisted test generation, intelligent test data provisioning, automated quality analysis, and AI-powered code review.
This position description is intended merely as a guideline of the responsibilities involved in the position. The employee is expected to perform any other duties as reasonably required by their Manager.
What Sets You Apart (Must-Haves)
- Significant professional experience in quality engineering or software engineering, with a track record of building and leading quality functions in complex, enterprise-scale environments.
- Proven people leadership experience managing and growing teams of 5+ quality engineers or SDETs.
- Deep expertise in test automation strategy and implementation across multiple layers: unit, integration, API, and E2E UI testing, with hands-on experience in modern frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, or similar).
- Experience driving the transition from QA-as-gatekeeper to developer-owned quality models, with a developer advocate mindset — you see your role as making every engineer more effective at quality.
- Demonstrated enthusiasm for AI-assisted development and quality engineering. You actively use AI tools in your workflow and can articulate how AI enhances testing, code quality, and engineering productivity.
- Experience defining quality metrics and dashboards that drive engineering decision-making, with strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred) and test execution optimisation.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and align stakeholders across a globally distributed engineering organisation.
Nice to Have
- Experience with .NET/C# ecosystems and testing patterns within layered or service-oriented architectures.
- Familiarity with Microsoft Azure and observability tools such as Datadog or Application Insights.
- Experience in environments transitioning from monolithic to microservices architectures.
- Experience with frontend testing frameworks in Ember or React ecosystems.
- Background as a Senior+ individual contributor before moving into leadership.
Ideal for quality engineering leaders who thrive in transformation environments, enjoy complex domain systems, and are energised by building quality culture and capability from the ground up.

AI is reshaping how software gets built, and at Karbon we’re fully committed. We don’t see AI as a replacement for engineers. We see it as a force multiplier that will elevate creativity, impact and capability to levels we’ve barely begun to imagine. We’re looking for developers who are confident in their fundamentals, driven to grow, and excited to harness AI to build something meaningful. If you’re energized by this future rather than cautious of it, you’ll feel right at home here.
Karbon embraces diversity and inclusion, aligning with our values as a business. Research has shown that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single criteria. If you've made it this far in the job description but your past experience doesn't perfectly align, we do encourage you to still apply. You could still be the right person for the role!
We recruit and reward people based on capability and performance. We don’t discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lifestyle, age, educational background, national origin, religion, physical or cognitive ability, and other diversity dimensions that may hinder inclusion in the organization.
