Building the Quality Infrastructure for Integrated Hardware and Software at Scale

Rockbot is an omnichannel media platform powering in-venue experiences across music, TV, digital signage, and advertising - spanning nearly every industry from independent restaurants to large national brands. Our integrated products connect physical hardware (sensors, streaming media devices, A/V systems) to cloud-based analytics and services, which means quality cannot be an afterthought.

As we scale our platform and customer base, the bar for product reliability and performance must rise with it. We are investing in a more rigorous, data-driven approach to quality - one that treats QA as an engineering discipline, not a final checkpoint.

We are hiring a Director, Quality Assurance to lead our global quality strategy and build the systems, processes, and culture required to validate complex integrated products at scale.

This is a pivotal builder role. The ideal candidate has moved beyond simple pass/fail testing and brings both firmware/hardware validation expertise and modern software automation leadership — someone who views QA as a strategic function and a competitive advantage.

What You'll Do

Define the QA Vision

You believe quality must be designed in — not bolted on.

• Define and execute a comprehensive QA vision that encompasses hardware reliability, embedded systems, and cloud applications
• Set the standard for what "high quality" means across Rockbot's integrated product suite — from edge devices to cloud analytics
• Drive a "Shift Left" philosophy, integrating quality practices into the earliest stages of design and development

Automate at Scale

You build frameworks that outlast individual engineers.

• Transition legacy manual processes into a robust, scalable automation framework
• Own the selection and evolution of automation tooling — including frameworks such as Playwright, PyTest, Selenium, and Appium
• Ensure test coverage spans both hardware compatibility and software logic, operating reliably in CI/CD pipelines
• Leverage cutting-edge AI methodologies to accelerate test automation efforts

Integrate Quality into Engineering Rhythms

You operate inside engineering, not downstream of it.

• Direct the integration of automated hardware and software tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)
• Ensure every commit is verified for both software logic and hardware compatibility — including automated deployment to edge devices
• Partner with Hardware Engineering, DevOps, and Product Management to align quality goals with manufacturing timelines and software sprints

Drive Metrics and Accountability

You measure what matters and make quality visible.

• Establish KPIs across bug leakage, MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), and test coverage
• Provide transparent, actionable reporting to executive leadership — translating technical risk into business impact
• Build disciplined reporting cadences and raise the bar on operational rigor across the QA function

Who You Are

• Experience: 10+ years in QA/Validation roles, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership position (Director or Head of QA)
• Hardware Proficiency: Proven track record testing physical products, including familiarity with streaming media and A/V systems
• Software Expertise: Deep understanding of modern automation frameworks (Playwright, PyTest, Selenium, Appium) and languages (Python, C++, or Java)

About Rockbot

Rockbot is an omnichannel media platform committed to elevating customer and employee experiences while fostering stronger connections in real-world spaces. Rockbot addresses the challenges businesses face in media management with integrated solutions spanning music, TV, digital signage, and advertising.

These ranges may be modified in the future.

The base compensation band for this role is 190-220K, as well as equity, and benefits for all team members.

Our Values

• Drive: We pursue our mission with relentless tenacity, passion, and optimism and inspire those around us to do the same. We love the journey and are on offense all the time. Yesterday was good enough for yesterday, but today we have to do even better.

• Curiosity: We are hungry to learn and continually deepen our knowledge, skills, and understandings. We have a growth mindset and are intellectually curious. We challenge our beliefs and seek feedback and insights from others. The "Why" and "How" always matters.
• Empathy: We embrace that no two people or businesses are the same. We strive to understand others as deeply as possible and feel their pains and passions.
• Ingenuity: We work hard but we think smart. We bring creativity, technology, and practicality together to solve tough challenges.
• Integrity: We say what we mean, and do what we say, simply, clearly, honestly.

U.S. Compensation & Benefits  

Compensation at Inspire11 
Inspire11 follows Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Illinois Human Rights Act, the Illinois Equal Wage Act, and the Illinois Equal Pay Act of 2003. We believe that people performing the same role at the same level, with similar levels of ability or experience, should be similarly compensated. We also believe that the most critical factors driving compensation should be an Eleven’s skill, experience, performance, responsibility, and effort. We may also consider an employee’s length of service, relevant education, training, or certification, and the requirements of a specific job. We may also consider whether the cost of living or competition for talent in specific markets requires adjustments in compensation for employees in those markets. Our goal is to fairly compensate all our Elevens based on these factors within the Company’s financial ability.   

Compensation may be increased or decreased at Inspire11’s discretion based on an employee’s performance reviews, market conditions, and the Company’s financial performance. Inspire11 will always notify an employee in writing before any change is made to their compensation.  

Bonuses 
We may allow employees in Sales, Recruiting, or Leadership to earn periodic bonuses based on sales, revenue, client-specific or practice-specific targets.

All periodic bonuses are discretionary and are earned only when paid out.   

Each year, the Company will decide whether the Company’s financial performance, market performance, and business realities allow it to create an annual bonus pool. If the Company decides that annual bonuses may be awarded, then the Leadership Team will grant annual bonuses to employees in good standing based on the same factors discussed in the previous paragraph while also considering employees’ diligence, performance, expertise, skill, judgment, and experience. To be eligible to participate in this annual bonus pool, an employee must be hired by no later than October 1st of the preceding year. Annual bonuses and merit increases may be prorated based on hire date. Employees eligible for target-based periodic bonuses are not eligible to participate in the annual bonus pool.

Inspire11 has a legacy program that allowed certain high-performing employees to purchase shares of the Company through an affiliate. The Company also has a newer program that grants options annually to high-performing employees based on their performance reviews, their managers’ recommendation, and leadership approval. These options have a vesting period associated with them.
