About the role

We are seeking a Senior Quality Software Engineer to own the quality function for Core Engineering. You will build the test automation infrastructure, set the coverage standard, make quality measurable and visible, and issue go/no-go recommendations that leadership can act on. You will embed security and compliance validation into the Core Engineering quality function as first-class citizens alongside functional quality, ensuring every release upholds NODA’s five-phase Security & Compliance Maturity Roadmap.

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years in software QE, with a track record of building test infrastructure, not inheriting it
  • Engineering fundamentals to match: test code is production quality, test harnesses are maintained like products
  • Python required, Rust or a clear plan to get there
  • Hands-on CI/CD integration: you've built the gates, debugged the flakes, and enforced the blocks
  • Owned quality dashboards and metrics that drive go/no-go decisions
  • Fluent in distributed and concurrent systems and how they fail
