📋 Description

• Define and execute the technical vision for quality engineering across Financial Reporting Products, including reusable test tooling, infrastructure, standards, and paved-road developer experiences • Set and own governance standards that keep AI-generated code and agent integrations safe, testable, and consistent across services • Rate every agent-callable surface for AI readiness before integration, and define rollback or human-confirmation paths for agent actions • Architect, build, and evolve scalable automated test frameworks for API, integration, contract, end-to-end, user-workflow, performance, and resiliency testing • Design and implement quality-platform capabilities for distributed systems, including CI/CD integrations, test-environment strategies, release validation, and actionable quality signals • Drive performance, load, scale, reliability, and chaos-testing approaches for critical services and customer workflows • Establish quality metrics, telemetry standards, and dashboards to identify release risk, system vulnerabilities, and customer-impacting regressions early • Partner with product and engineering teams to embed quality practices throughout planning, development, delivery, and production operations • Lead multi-quarter, cross-functional technical initiatives from problem definition through architecture, implementation, adoption, and measurable outcomes • Align quality investments with product strategy, architectural roadmaps, and customer needs • Prototype and personally deliver high-leverage platform components while enabling product teams to adopt and extend shared capabilities • Lead and mentor Senior and Mid-level engineers and create repeatable practices that scale beyond a single team • Connect production signals, user workflows, and engineering decisions to the customer experience • Drive alignment across product lines and stakeholders to resolve ambiguous technical problems and establish durable engineering standards

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience • 4+ years of experience in software engineering, software development in test, test infrastructure, quality engineering, or a related technical discipline • Experience leading complex, ambiguous, multi-team technical initiatives from technical strategy through delivery, adoption, and measurable outcomes • Demonstrated fluency operating with and evaluating AI-assisted/agent-authored code, at an advanced level • Experience building evaluation frameworks that measure AI agent decision-correctness, not just latency/availability/uptime • Managed outsourced testing teams • Deep experience designing and building scalable automated testing strategies, frameworks, and tooling for distributed systems, microservices, APIs, and backend infrastructure • Strong software engineering fundamentals and proficiency in one or more modern languages, such as TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript • Experience building quality capabilities across the software delivery lifecycle, including CI/CD integration, test environments, release validation, observability, and multiple testing layers such as unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, performance, and resiliency testing • Experience architecting quality-engineering solutions in cloud-native environments and with tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, and Playwright • Demonstrated ability to influence technical leaders, mentor engineers, establish reusable platforms or standards, and drive alignment across multiple product teams or globally distributed engineering organizations • Reliable internet access for any period of time working remotely, not in a Workiva office

🏖️ Benefits

• A discretionary bonus typically paid annually • Restricted Stock Units granted at time of hire • 401(k) match • Comprehensive employee benefits package • Work from an office or remotely from any location within your country of employment • Reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities
