Senior Quality Engineer, Owner.com

• Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language used for automation (e.g. Python, TypeScript, Go)
• Hands‑on experience with testing frameworks (Jest, Playwright, Cypress, etc.) and automation tools (Testcontainers, Docker‑Compose, etc.)
• Proven track record integrating testing deeply into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, Buildkite, Jenkins, Flux CD) with intelligent test execution and automated analysis
• Familiarity with test environments: virtualizing dependencies, using service‑virtualization or testcontainers to isolate CI from production services
• Understanding of all layers of testing: unit, integration, end‑to‑end, performance, contract, security, including metrics and test flakiness tracking
• Strong debugging and analytical skills; experience diagnosing flakes, CI inefficiencies, or automation bottlenecks
• Excellent written and verbal communication: you break complex topics into actionable insights and instructions
• Passion for building systems that empower engineers

Desirable

• We're seeking a mission‑driven Senior Quality Engineer to build out a world‑class test platform that makes shipping secure, reliable, and fast. You’ll split time between quality‑infrastructure engineering (designing for shift‑left CI/CD, automation, and observability) and quality enablement (tools, coaching, and cultural embedding)
• Your work will directly empower the websites, ordering flows, mobile apps, and back‑office systems that thousands of restaurants - and millions of diners - rely on every day
• Build & scale testing infrastructure: you'll contribute to the architecture and maintenance of test orchestration platforms, test runners, data‑management tools, and developer‑facing quality tooling that support teams—from backend services to React Native apps
• Embed quality into CI/CD pipelines: help evolve GitHub Actions/Buildkite so tests run intelligently on file‑change, parallelized for speed, with built‑in analysis, coverage, flakiness detection, and fast feedback to engineers
• Drive shift‑left and continuous improvement: Collaborate with product and development to implement early testing strategies via contract‑testing, TDD, specification reviews, and risk‑based automated testing that surface defects before deployment
• Own quality observability: build dashboards and metric pipelines to track code coverage, test churn, CI test latency, and reliability trends
• Apply SRE principles to testing reliability: help define and monitor "quality SLIs" (e.g. deploy‑blocking flake rate < 1%) tied to critical flows—helping balance release velocity and acceptance criteria
• Support incident review with a quality lens: participate in postmortems, identify test‑coverage gaps and process enhancements, and help implement improvements across teams
• Champion the "you build it, you test it" philosophy: partner with engineers on best practices, share accessible testing toolkits, and support onboarding of new teams
• Daily collaboration with Backend, Frontend, & Mobile engineering across multiple time zones
• Product & Restaurant Success teams—to align quality metrics and test coverage with business outcomes
• SRE & Platform engineers—to ensure test infrastructure is reliable, performant, and easy to maintain
