About the Role

We're looking for a Quality & Process Lead to own quality strategy and engineering process across our teams. You'll bring in the tooling (like SonarQube), set the standards, and track the metrics that tell us whether we're actually improving — while working closely with every engineering team to make quality part of how we ship, not a gate at the end.

What You'll Do

Define and drive quality strategy across all engineering teams

Select, implement, and maintain quality tooling such as SonarQube, linters, and CI quality gates

Define and enforce code review standards and coding guidelines

Drive test automation strategy and coverage across teams

Track and report quality metrics — code coverage, defect rates, and technical debt — to engineering leadership

Partner with Engineering Managers and the Technical Program Manager to build quality checkpoints into sprint and release planning

Lead and grow the QA engineering function, including QA Engineers/SDETs (Software Development Engineer in Test).

Continuously evaluate and improve engineering processes to raise quality without slowing teams down

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of experience in software quality engineering, QA leadership, or a related discipline

Hands‑on experience implementing static analysis / code quality tools (e.g., SonarQube) and CI quality gates

Strong background in test automation frameworks and strategy

Experience defining and driving engineering process improvements across multiple teams

Able to balance quality rigor with delivery speed, and to influence teams you don't directly manage

Nice To Have

ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) or similar quality/testing certification

Experience with performance/load testing and security testing

Background as a hands‑on QA engineer or SDET before moving into a lead role

Why EMERES?





Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses A collaborative and innovative team environment

Professional development opportunities A unique, exciting and dynamic culture with the public safety sector

Comprehensive health and dental advantages
