Senior Software Quality Engineer

SkySpecs is a company focused on wind and solar inspection and asset-management solutions, and they are seeking a Senior Software Quality Engineer to enhance their Horizon platform. The role involves building quality infrastructure, partnering on solution design, and improving engineering systems to ensure software quality and observability.

Responsibilities:

• Building and maintaining quality infrastructure, automation, and developer tooling
• Building tooling that enables Software Engineers to write, execute, and maintain effective tests
• Improving CI/CD quality gates and release confidence
• Building and maintaining application quality telemetry, dashboards, and alerting
• Integrating quality signals from testing, production telemetry, application performance, and user behavior into engineering workflows
• Leveraging AI tools and autonomous agents to accelerate quality engineering
• Participating in specification, feature design, and implementation planning
• Helping define clear, testable, observable, and measurable acceptance criteria
• Identifying quality risks and opportunities to improve testability
• Designing high-signal testing strategies across unit, integration, end-to-end, and production environments
• Using production telemetry, application performance metrics, and session recordings to identify user friction, regressions, and opportunities to improve future designs
• Coaching Software Engineers on effective testing, observability, and quality practices
• Reviewing implementation plans, testing approaches, and AI-generated tests
• Continuously improving how we measure user experience, application performance, and release health
• Analyzing production issues and strengthening our quality systems
• Building feedback loops that help engineering teams identify regressions before customers report them
• Exploring new ideas, experiments, and prototypes that could improve Horizon or the way we build software
• Expanding AI and agent capabilities
• Reducing operational toil through automation

Requirements:

• 5+ years building and maintaining quality platforms, automated testing systems, developer tooling, or similar engineering systems for production software
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and systems-thinking
• Deep understanding of software quality across testing, observability, application performance, and production systems
• Experience designing and maintaining automated testing frameworks, quality infrastructure, CI/CD quality gates, and engineering feedback systems
• Experience developing and maintaining automated quality solutions across frontend applications, backend services, APIs, and production systems
• Experience using production telemetry, application performance monitoring, session replay, or similar tools to identify and prioritize quality improvements
• Ability to independently drive quality initiatives from concept through implementation
• Strong written communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to work within a cross-functional team of technical and non-technical contributors
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted and agentic development workflows, and a track record of evolving how you use them
• Sound judgment when using AI tools, including reviewing and correcting agent-generated tests and code
• Familiarity with our stack: AWS, GitLab, Auth0, Grafana, Terraform, Kafka, Node.js, TypeScript, Apollo GraphQL, React, Ant Design, Vitest, Playwright, and PostgreSQL
• Experience building internal engineering platforms, developer tooling, observability platforms, or quality platforms
• Experience improving CI/CD pipelines and release engineering
• Experience operating distributed systems at scale
• Background in utility-scale energy generation, with an emphasis on renewables
