About the Role
Squiz is seeking a Senior Quality Engineer to focus on metrics and observability within their cloud-based Digital Experience Platform (DXP). This role is crucial for enhancing the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) by leveraging platform APIs to provide actionable engineering telemetry and improve visibility into team efficiency and software quality.
Responsibilities
- Build SDLC Observability Pipelines by harnessing APIs across GitLab, Jira, AWS, Confluence, Cloudflare, and Dynatrace to collect, aggregate, and visualize core engineering and quality metrics.
- Empower Engineering Managers by delivering self-service dashboards and telemetry for visibility into team health, delivery efficiency, and SDLC bottleneck identification.
- Establish Key Quality Indicators (KQIs) and automate reporting for critical quality metrics, including Change Failure Rate, Regression Rate, Release Failure Rate, Code Review Depth, and Post-Review Change Rates.
- Leverage existing tooling & AI capabilities, such as Cursor, GitLab CI/CD, and Dynatrace, to streamline developer workflows.
- Drive SDLC & Process Maturity by analyzing engineering practices, recommending tooling improvements, and embedding quality best practices.
- Partner Across Quality & Engineering to act as a consultative technical bridge, ensuring quality standards and delivery velocity advance together.
Requirements
- Proven experience working at a systems level with modern developer infrastructure, git-based workflows (GitLab), AWS cloud services, and production telemetry tools (Dynatrace, Cloudflare).
- Strong hands-on ability to query, combine, and process data from tool APIs (Jira, Confluence, GitLab, AWS, Cursor) to build robust reporting and automation pipelines.
- A strong holistic understanding of quality engineering, testing strategies, risk analysis, and software development methodologies, going beyond traditional test automation script writing.
- Passion for telemetry and metrics, with experience translating complex SDLC data into actionable insights for engineering leadership and management.
- Ability to maximize value from existing organizational platforms and tools rather than advocating for unnecessary third-party vendors.
- Ability to drive complex technical initiatives independently, influencing engineering teams and stakeholders without formal authority.
