The Assignment

The Quality Expert Lead role in Assistance Services champions quality engineering, security, and CI/CD best practices across multiple agile development teams, adopting an end-to-end (E2E) mindset.

Responsible for defining and implementing scalable quality strategies, ensuring automated testing and security checks are embedded into the delivery pipeline, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and a quality-first mindset across the Assistance Services Delivery organization.

• Define quality metrics (e.g., defect rates, test coverage, MTTR) and reporting across teams.
• Establish consistent QA processes across all teams while supporting team autonomy and promoting secure development practices.

• Collaborate with DevOps teams to integrate automated testing and security validations in CI/CD pipelines (unit, integration, and E2E).
• Define and enforce standards for pipeline gates, test coverage, quality, and security thresholds.
• Ensure fast feedback loops through optimized and parallelized test execution, including security checks

• Act as a cross-team QE leader, mentoring engineers on testing and secure coding best practices.
• Collaborate with Product Owners and Developers to ensure testability, observability, and security in solutions.
• Lead quality planning and risk assessment in release cycles, factoring in potential security impacts.

• Guide the design and maintenance of robust automated testing frameworks, with built-in support for security testing.
• Evaluate and adopt tools for static analysis, security scanning, and performance testing as part of CI/CD.

• Foster a shift-left testing mindset, emphasizing early testing, prevention, and secure development.
• Facilitate activities focused on improving test effectiveness, pipeline reliability, and vulnerability detection.
• Stay up to date with industry trends in quality engineering, CI/CD, security, and DevOps

• Drive the adoption of AI-driven quality assurance practices to enhance test efficiency, security analysis, and defect prediction.
• Promote the exploration and responsible integration of AI/ML tools to automate repetitive testing, security scanning, and quality analysis tasks.
• Foster a mindset of innovation and experimentation with AI across quality engineering, security, and CI/CD disciplines.

What Success looks like

• CI/CD pipelines with reliable, fast feedback from automated quality and security checks
• Clear visibility of quality and security health across all teams and E2E
• Improved confidence in releases
• High team engagement in quality and secure development practices
• Demonstrated value from AI-enhanced quality and security practices and tools
