Senior Software Quality Engineer

Remote

RegScale is a continuous controls monitoring (CCM) platform that helps organizations automate and scale their security, risk, and compliance programs. We are at an inflection point, transitioning from startup execution to a disciplined, enterprise ready engineering organization, and we are building the team that will take us there. This is a meaningful problem domain: the work you build directly helps organizations manage risk, meet regulatory requirements, and operate more securely at scale.

The Role

Senior Quality Engineers at RegScale are engineering partners. You are embedded in the work from the beginning, shaping how features are designed, what risks matter most, and how the team as a whole take's responsibility for quality.

Your primary contribution is strategic. You assess what it takes to build high quality software in a complex GRC domain, determine the right combination of manual and automated approaches for each situation, and work alongside developers to ensure quality is built in from the start. You bring strong problem-solving skills and the judgment to know where testing efforts will have the greatest impact given real world customer usage patterns.

You are comfortable writing automation when automation is the right tool, and equally comfortable making the case for exploratory or manual approaches when they are not. You think about quality as a system, not a checklist. This role is for a Quality Engineer who is ready to influence how an engineering organization builds software, not just verify that it works.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and own quality strategies for features and releases, determining the appropriate mix of manual testing, automated testing, and developer contributed testing based on risk, complexity, and customer impact.
  • Embed within scrum teams and partner with developers from the start of each sprint, contributing to requirement reviews, design discussions, and testability decisions before a line of code is written.
  • Work with developers to ensure they are contributing meaningfully to unit and integration test coverage, providing guidance, review, and coaching on testing practices.
  • Build, maintain, and extend automated test coverage across API, UI, and integration layers using sound engineering practices. Treat automation as a product that requires design, maintainability, and ongoing investment.
  • Identify and prioritize testing based on real world GRC workflows and customer usage patterns, ensuring test coverage reflects how customers use the platform, rather than how it is implemented.
  • Proactively identify quality risks early in the development cycle, bring proposed mitigation strategies, and escalate concerns with sufficient lead time for the team to act.
  • Contribute to CI/CD quality gates, ensuring automated tests run reliably on every build and provide meaningful, actionable signal rather than noise.
  • Analyze failures, escapes, and production defects to identify root causes and recommend systemic improvements that reduce recurrence across the team.
  • Collaborate with Customer Enablement to incorporate real customer scenarios, edge cases, and support patterns into test coverage.
  • Contribute to quality visibility by tracking and communicating test coverage, pass rates, escape rates, and trends in a way that informs engineering decisions.

Required Qualifications

  • 8 or more years of quality engineering experience with a demonstrated track record of owning quality outcomes across the full development lifecycle, not just test execution.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to develop quality strategies that determine the right approach for a given feature, release, or risk profile.
  • Proven experience partnering with developers in an embedded or shift left model, influencing how teams write code rather than only testing after the fact.
  • Solid automation engineering skills including API testing, UI automation, and integration testing, with the judgment to know when automation adds value and when it does not.
  • Experience contributing to or owning CI/CD quality integration, including test reliability, pipeline health, and actionable test reporting.
  • Ability to analyze defect patterns, escapes, and production issues and translate findings into systemic recommendations rather than one off fixes.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to articulate quality risk and testing strategy clearly to both engineering peers and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in regulated industries or with compliance, security, or risk management platforms. GRC, FedRAMP, or NIST familiarity is a meaningful advantage given the depth of domain knowledge required to test effectively in this space.
  • Background in enterprise SaaS companies where quality strategy had to account for enterprise scale, multi-tenant complexity, and high stakes customer environments.
  • Experience with performance and load testing, particularly validating system behavior under enterprise scale conditions.
  • Familiarity with security testing practices and secure software development in a compliance focused product context.
  • Experience building or improving quality visibility through dashboards, metrics, and reporting that drive engineering decisions rather than just satisfy reporting requirements.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
