Full Job Description
What we are building

Our Quality Engineering team is at the center of how we ship software with speed and confidence. We're a small, highly focused group of engineers on a mission to raise the bar for quality across the entire engineering organization - not by slowing things down, but by embedding smart, scalable practices that make fast delivery more reliable. From CI/CD infrastructure to automated testing frameworks, we build the systems and standards that the rest of engineering depends on to move quickly without breaking things.

We're investing in modernizing our pipelines, expanding our automation coverage, and evolving our culture around quality ownership. The person in this role will shape what that evolution looks like by setting the technical direction, mentoring a growing team, and acting as the connective tissue between Quality Engineering and the broader product and engineering organization.

What your impact will be

In your first year, you will:
  • Own our CI/CD systems end-to-end: audit the current state, redesign where needed, and drive measurable improvements in pipeline reliability, build/test cycle time, and overall developer experience within the first six months
  • Lead the adoption of standardized QE practices and testing frameworks across engineering teams, reducing inconsistency in coverage and establishing a shared standard for quality across the organization within your first year
  • Drive increased automation of QE processes using AI-assisted tooling (such as Claude, Codex, or Cursor), accelerating development velocity while maintaining rigorous standards
  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 1-3 Quality Engineers: supporting their technical development, career growth, and day-to-day effectiveness, with a goal of visibly improving team velocity and reducing defect escape rates
  • Partner closely with Engineering and Product to shift quality earlier in the development lifecycle, building a culture where defect prevention is prioritized over defect detection
  • Establish structured knowledge sharing and process documentation that enables the team to scale its impact beyond its headcount

What we look for in this role
  • Proven track record owning and operating CI/CD systems at scale using tools such as CircleCI, GitHub Actions, or equivalent. This includes hands-on experience redesigning pipelines for reliability and speed
  • Deep expertise in CI/CD tooling and infrastructure, with the ability to independently evaluate, modernize, and scale systems to meet evolving engineering needs
  • Strong proficiency in test automation frameworks (such as Playwright, Selenium, or equivalent) paired with a clear, defensible philosophy around test strategy and coverage.
  • Solid background in Quality Engineering or Software Development in Test (SDET), including experience designing and implementing test automation frameworks from the ground up
  • Demonstrated use of AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude, Codex, Cursor) to automate testing practices and accelerate engineering workflows.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication and collaboration skills; you are equally comfortable working as an individual contributor and stepping into a leadership role as the quality voice across the engineering
  • Prior experience leading or mentoring a small engineering team, even informally

What we value
  • We value a growth mindset. High-performing creative individuals who dig into problems and see the opportunities for success
  • We believe in individuals who seek truth and speak the truth and can be their whole selves at work
  • We value all of you that believe improving is always possible At Domino Everything is a work in progress - we can do better at everything
  • We emphasize an environment of teaching and learning to equip employees with the tools needed to be successful in their function and the company
  • We strongly believe in the value of growing a diverse team and encourage people of all backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, abilities, and sexual orientations to apply
