THE ROLE
We're looking for a QA lead to own quality across our AI agent platform and run a distributed testing team. You'll define what "ready to ship" looks like, build the test strategies and processes from the ground up, and be the person in SF who keeps quality on track as the team scales.
This is a hands-on QA role. You'll write test plans, execute testing, and manage a team of offshore QA testers. You'll work closely with engineering and product to understand what's being built, identify where things can break, and make sure nothing ships until it's been thoroughly validated. If you've run QA for a fast-moving product team and know how to keep quality high without slowing everything down, this is your role.
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
A few examples of what this role looks like day-to-day:
- Test strategy and planning: Defining test plans, acceptance criteria, and coverage matrices for new features across our voice, chat, and email AI agents
- AI agent validation: Testing agent conversations for accuracy, tone, hallucinations, and edge cases — figuring out how to systematically QA outputs that are different every time
- Release management: Owning the QA gate for releases, coordinating test cycles, managing regression suites, and signing off on production readiness
- Team management: Running a distributed QA team across SF and offshore locations — assigning work, reviewing results, setting standards, and keeping the team aligned across time zones
- Bug triage and reporting: Classifying, prioritizing, and clearly documenting defects so engineering can reproduce and fix issues efficiently
