StaffQASoftwareEngineer

### About the Role We're looking for a **QA Lead** to join **OpenMined** , a nonprofit on a mission to build **the public network for the world's non-public data** — unlocking 1,000,000x more information across every scientific field and industry, and ensuring it stays open, equitable, and accessible to all. Our engineering team is brilliant and mission-driven, and we are looking for someone to join it who can collaborate across teams to build our quality function from the ground up. Our products are gaining customer traction and we strive to ensure reliability, security, and data integrity. This is **not a traditional QA role.** You won't sit in a separate team writing test scripts against specs. You'll be **embedded with engineers** — pairing on test design, reviewing architecture for testability, building frameworks and tooling, and creating the habits that make quality a natural part of how every engineer works. You'll set the organizational quality strategy: what gets tested, how deeply, at what layer, and what constitutes "done." The right person for this role is **an engineer who chose to specialize in quality** — someone who can read a codebase, identify the riskiest surfaces, design a testing strategy, write the tests, build the framework, and teach others to do the same. You earn credibility by contributing code and finding real bugs, not by writing policies and expecting compliance. If you're energized by building something from nothing, teaching through doing, and making an entire engineering organization better at shipping reliable software — we'd love to hear from you. ### Responsibilities * Own the delivery of engineering’s quarterly goals, ensuring consistent, high-impact delivery while effectively managing resources. * Work collaboratively in each product team’s codebase to access current test coverage, highest-risk surfaces, and its production readiness gap to produce a prioritized testing roadmap that engineers can see and execute against. * Estab
