Role
Who you are
- 15+ years of progressive experience in quality engineering or software quality leadership
- 7+ years in senior leadership roles building and scaling QE teams (25–50+ people)

- Deep expertise in automated functional, non-functional, and monitoring solutions for data-intensive and customer-facing platforms

- Experience with modern QE practices: CI/CD pipelines, shift-left testing, quality monitoring, DevOps/TechOps collaboration
- Strong track record of managing offshore/outsourced teams and vendor partnerships
- Exposure to frameworks such as CMMi, TMMi, Six Sigma, or ISO 9001 is a plus
- Excellent communication, cross-functional collaboration, and executive presence

- This executive will define and scale quality strategies, practices, and frameworks across diverse engineering teams, products, and services.As a senior leader, you will own the QE strategy end-to-end: from defining our quality vision and KPIs to building automation-first solutions that integrate seamlessly with our CI/CD pipelines
- You will foster a culture of “built-in quality,” ensuring our systems meet functional, non-functional, compliance, and privacy requirements at scale
- Set the vision: Define and implement the company-wide quality engineering strategy, roadmap, and operating model
- Lead teams: Build, mentor, and inspire a global QE organization spanning test automation, monitoring, and compliance
- Drive automation: Architect and implement automated solutions for UI, APIs, data pipelines, stream processing, analytics, and performance/reliability testing
- Partner cross-functionally: Collaborate with Product, Engineering, DevOps, and TechOps leaders to embed quality practices throughout the SDLC
- Ensure compliance: Oversee quality frameworks that support privacy, security, accreditation (e.g., MRC, IAB), and global regulatory requirements
- Measure impact: Define QA&C KPIs, dashboards, and tools to provide transparency on product quality and system health
- Continuous improvement: Leverage customer feedback, defect data, and system monitoring to implement proactive detection and prevention frameworks
- Scale processes: Introduce best practices for risk management, incident prevention, and compliance that extend beyond the QE team to the entire organization
Our take
The importance of digital advertising continues to grow, but it can be difficult for companies to protect their brand identity online. DoubleVerify solves this problem using software that monitors campaign performance in real-time.
Since it was first launched, DoubleVerify has successfully carved out an impressive market share, and now boasts customers such as digital advertising giant Facebook as long-time customers. Its success is largely owed to the quality of its technology, which far outperforms that of its rivals. DoubleVerify has consolidated its success by expanding the range of languages its tools support. It has also expanded into new markets such as Australia and New Zealand, a key indicator of the company’s continued growth.
The digital ad space is changing constantly, and DoubleVerify will need to remain as agile and adaptive as it is at present in order to compete with rivals such as Tremor and Quantcast. A 2021 IPO was followed by two rounds of funding and several product releases, including a tiered brand suitability tool as well as key executive hires.
