Distinguished Engineer, Quality Platform

About The Role

FOX is hiring a Distinguished Engineer, Quality Platform to lead the creation of a modern, AI-enhanced, end-to-end quality engineering platform that transforms how we assure, validate, and scale product excellence across all FOX digital offerings. This high-impact role is responsible for designing, building, and operationalizing a next-generation test automation platform that empowers engineering teams to ship high-quality code faster. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical visionary with deep platform experience and a passion for enabling modern development practices.

Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and scale FOX's next-gen Quality Engineering Platform with best-in-class solutions; leverage latest adopted patterns and languages, and lean heavily into AI/ML automation.
• Introduce a self-service quality solution that supports natural language test scripting, self-healing automation, and real-time CI/CD test triggers.
• Own and evolve a quality framework supporting backend, frontend, data, and live-streaming environments.
• Build dashboards and telemetry to track regression risk, defect leakage, and code quality
• Enable teams and leadership to proactively identify where quality thresholds are met or at risk—and take timely, informed action.
• Establish best practices in AI/ML-powered test optimization, shift-left enablement, and developer-focused tooling
• Ensure the platform evolves and keeps pace with the DTC platforms and products.
• Partner with engineering, product, and DevOps leaders to embed quality across the SDLC
• Influence and enable a hybrid network of in-house engineers and vendor partners to drive tooling adoption and quality culture.
• Evangelize FOX's quality vision internally and externally as we scale our unified platform (FOX One)

Requirements

• 15+ years of engineering experience with at least 5 years in senior-level platform or infrastructure architecture roles
• Proven experience establishing and enforcing engineering standards for high-scale, low-latency distributed backend systems (e.g., Golang/Java, AWS).
• Proven success building and scaling internal platforms used by software engineering teams (not just QA teams)
• Deep hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks, observability, developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and quality telemetry
• Experience integrating AI/ML into testing workflows (e.g., natural language test creation, self-healing scripts)
• Experience with Momentic, Mabl, Postman, Appium, Playwright and similar development and testing platforms to automate at scale
• Track record of building quality frameworks in high-scale SaaS, streaming, or digital media environments
• Prior success transforming a manual QA culture into a dev-owned quality model
• Exceptional communication and cross-functional influence, able to engage with engineers, product managers, and execs alike

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting high concurrency live environments (e.g. sports streaming)
• Familiarity with GitHub Actions, test orchestration, and test data management platforms
