Job Summary

Lead the quality engineering function across a regulated crypto bank, defining the overall quality framework, coverage standards, and automated gates. Own AI-assisted testing tooling and the agentic QA pipeline to push more than 80% of release quality decisions to automated tooling within 12 months, while collaborating across SATs, Platform, backend, web, and mobile teams.

Location: Gibraltar

Workplace: Remote

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Quality & Regulatory (Non-Software)

Key Responsibilities

•Quality framework definition: own coverage standards (unit, service, integration, end-to-end), gate criteria, and the quality contribution to the function-level Definition of Done. Aligned with Head of Engineering on backend and Head of Frontend Engineering on client-side.
•Coverage baselines: define measurable coverage thresholds per service and per tribe, with trend visibility, and drive adoption across teams.
•Pre-release veto authority: hold and exercise the authority to block releases when quality gates are not met. Own the automated tooling that makes this veto self-triggering rather than dependent on a single person.
•AI-assisted test tooling: define and drive the framework for automated test generation, regression coverage, integration test tooling, and the agentic QA pipeline. You are the designer and driver; implementation is a cross-functional effort with Platform, backend, web, and mobile engineers.
•SAT enablement: produce the training, documentation, tooling, and templates that let Stream Aligned Team engineers do quality work themselves, without a separate QA function.

Key Requirements

•8+ years in software quality engineering, with a clear track record of owning quality frameworks across engineering organisations, not just managing a QA team or running manual test cycles.
•Hands-on experience building CI/CD quality gates at multiple levels: unit, service, integration, and end-to-end. You know where tests go in a pipeline and how to make them block a release reliably.
•Practical experience with AI-assisted test tooling, LLM-driven test generation, agentic QA pipelines, or equivalent. You don’t need to have shipped a production-grade system, but you need a genuine point of view and hands-on exposure.
•Demonstrated ability to raise quality standards without a reporting hierarchy, you have influenced engineering teams through better tooling, documentation, and frameworks, not through authority over people.
•Solid understanding of distributed, event-driven microservices architectures and what testing them well requires: contract testing, consumer-driven contracts, integration test data strategies.
