[Hiring] Senior Quality Engineer @Versant

Role Description

We are seeking a highly technical, curious, and experienced Senior Quality Engineer to help deliver reliable, scalable, and high-quality products and experiences. In this role, you will serve as a senior quality advocate, proactively identifying product, integration, and release risks before they affect customers while helping shape how quality is built into the software development lifecycle.

You will combine hands-on testing with automation, end-to-end validation, risk-based quality strategy, and AI-assisted quality engineering practices. You will partner closely with Engineering, Product, DevOps, Security, and other stakeholders to establish thoughtful testing approaches, improve release confidence, and continuously strengthen our quality engineering capabilities.

This is a fully remote role. Team members should be comfortable working effectively in a distributed environment and participating in in-person collaboration opportunities, including team meetings, planning sessions, or other business needs, with travel of up to approximately 10% per quarter.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software testing, quality engineering, SDET, or a related technical quality role, with demonstrated ownership of testing strategy for complex products or systems.
• Strong hands-on experience designing and maintaining automated test solutions using frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or comparable technologies.
• Experience testing APIs and distributed system integrations using tools or frameworks such as Postman, REST Assured, or similar solutions.
• Experience integrating automated tests with CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or comparable tooling.
• Strong understanding of software development lifecycle practices, test architecture, risk-based testing, Agile development methodologies, and modern quality engineering principles.
• Demonstrated ability to uncover high-impact defects and complex failure scenarios through a combination of exploratory, manual, automated, integration, and end-to-end testing.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to investigate complex issues, identify root causes, and communicate quality risks clearly to technical and non-technical partners.
• Experience using AI-assisted tools to improve test design, automation development, failure analysis, or other quality engineering workflows.
• Experience testing hardware devices, POS systems, or complex software-to-hardware integrations is a plus.

Requirements

• Exercise sound judgment, protect the integrity of our products and testing practices, and raise quality concerns constructively and early.
• Partner effectively across Engineering, Product, DevOps, Security, and other teams, recognizing that quality is a shared responsibility.
• Communicate defects, release risks, test coverage, and tradeoffs clearly so teams can make informed decisions.
• Adapt testing approaches as requirements, technologies, and business priorities evolve, balancing speed with appropriate risk management.
• Look beyond established processes to identify opportunities for better automation, smarter testing, stronger tooling, and innovative uses of AI.
• Take ownership of quality outcomes, follow issues through resolution, and continuously improve the effectiveness of quality engineering practices.

Benefits

• Opportunity to help shape quality engineering practices for products and experiences that operate at meaningful scale.
• Significant ownership and the opportunity to influence how teams approach automation, testing strategy, release confidence, and emerging AI-enabled quality practices.
• Work in an environment that values thoughtful problem-solving, continuous improvement, technical curiosity, and strong cross-functional partnership.
• Fully remote position with opportunities for meaningful in-person collaboration based on team and business needs.
• Travel may be required up to approximately 10% per quarter for team gatherings, planning sessions, or other collaborative work.
