Job Description
As a Principal QA Engineer, you will play a key role in embedding quality into every stage of the software development lifecycle. Acting as a technical expert and coach, you will champion a shift-left approach, promote best practices in automation and testing strategy, and work across teams to uplift quality standards without relying on traditional QA handoffs. This role is central to building a culture where engineers own quality, tests are built into delivery pipelines, and risk is identified and mitigated early.
You will work across multiple teams to improve quality maturity and consistency by coaching engineers, advising on test strategies, introducing quality tooling, and helping product and engineering teams make informed decisions about test coverage, automation, and release readiness. You will support teams In Your Area (IYA) and Native Apps. Responsibilities include leading test strategy discussions, implementing automation, identifying risks, and defining quality metrics. You will advocate for quality in architectural discussions and contribute to the Software Development Lifecycle.
