About the role
Role Overview
You will build quality into Moon's platform without ever becoming a gate. There is no manual QA sign-off here - teams ship continuously. Your job is the protocols and automation that make that safe: fully automated QA testing in the CI/CD pipeline that protects our customers' businesses from buggy releases and major issues, and protects the platform from downtime. You will be expected to understand the product deeply - an expert on the customer application, as fluent in its workflows as the people who build it.
About the role
• You will join as the leader of quality for a platform with demanding reliability goals, with a junior QA engineer on your team to mentor and grow.
What you'll do
• Design and own the protocols for fully automated QA testing in the CI/CD pipeline: critical-flow suites, quality gates, and the low flake rate that keeps them trusted.
• Protect our customers' businesses from buggy releases and major issues - and the platform from downtime - as your explicit mandate.
• Put up monitors on the current application and work with DevOps on alerting, observability, and production quality signals.
• Become an expert on the customer application: know every workflow deeply enough to know what must never break.
• Build production quality analytics: escaped defects, regressions, and the metrics on every team dashboard.
• Run user-side QA: triage what real users report into engineering teams with clean reproductions.
• Mentor and grow the team's junior QA engineer.
Qualifications
• 6+ years in quality/test engineering at companies that ship continuously.
• Has replaced manual QA gates with automation - and can show the before/after.
• Writes production-grade test code; thinks in pipelines and invariants, not test plans.
• Deep product curiosity - learns applications to expert level fast.
• Calm, rigorous, and outcome-focused.
