Director, Quality Engineering

About the role

At Netskope, we embrace a model where each development team is responsible for their own testing. The Central Quality team is the backbone that oversees shared quality processes, metrics, tooling and environments across the whole engineering organization. We are looking for a Director of Quality Engineering to lead the US based part of the Central Quality organization.

In this role you’ll be responsible for tracking product quality across engineering and driving improvements in testing, releasing and quality reporting. You’ll report directly to the head of quality, and work closely with your counterpart in India to drive engineering-wide improvements.

This is a high-impact technical leadership role perfect for a hands-on seasoned QE leader who has experience running large quality engineering and tool development organizations.

What's In It For You

Opportunity to make a difference. We’re at an inflection point where our existing quality and release processes and testing infrastructure won’t scale much longer. You’ll get to influence and drive the implementation of the next generation processes and tooling, and change how software is tested and released at a multi-billion dollar company.

Additionally you will manage a mature test tooling organization consisting of two distinct teams, each led by established managers. You’ll have an opportunity to direct the growth of the test tooling organization to address the future challenges in a rapidly growing company.

Required Skills And Experience

• 15+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong background in test automation and tooling.
• 10+ years of management experience, with at least 3+ years experience managing other managers (Director level experience).
• Proven experience running Engineering Productivity, Internal Developer Platform, or Tooling development teams.
• You understand the unique challenges of treating developers and quality engineers as your primary customer.
• Strong background in building scalable test automation frameworks (Python, Go, or Java).
• Strong background in CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and how test infrastructure integrates with them.
• Experience overseeing OPS/SRE functions, specifically regarding the management of complex, distributed test environments.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work with a globally distributed team across different time zones (US, EU, India, Taiwan).
