Principal Engineer - Quality Assurance
Zattoo , Berlin, Berlin, Germany +1
The role
We are looking for a Principal Engineer QA as a senior individual contributor. You will define how quality risk is assessed, measured, and gated across the full streaming path - and embed that craft into engineering teams, who own day-to-day tests and suite health.
What you will do
What you’ll do
- Quality strategy & risk - Build and maintain a living risk model for the streaming chain. Raise effort where failure hurts most. Make coverage vs. speed and pre-release vs. production trade-offs explicit with product and eng.
- Release constraints & quality gates - Define what “releasable” means for backend, middleware, and clients - including how continuous backend/middleware delivery is gated relative to client store cadences (web/TV/mobile). Keep gates fast, trustworthy, and hard to bypass.
- Rollout practice (build with the teams) - Define and establish staged rollout, canary, and rollback strategies together with eng and SRE/ops. Own the definition; establish and operate them collaboratively.
