Role
Who you are
- Bringing deep technical expertise with 7+ years in Quality Engineering or SDET roles, with significant hands-on automation experience in modern SaaS environments
- A hands-on coder — you write automation frameworks, build shared libraries, and pair with engineers on test design every day
- Experienced in driving quality practice across multiple teams without direct authority, with impact that comes from technical credibility and influence
- Skilled in building evals for LLM-based or agentic features, with familiarity in at least one eval framework (LangSmith, Braintrust, DeepEval, or equivalent)
- Strong in modern automation frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, or similar) and at least one programming language used in modern SaaS engineering (TypeScript, Python, Go)
- Experienced with blameless postmortems and structured RCA practices (5 Whys, Fishbone, CAPA, or equivalent)
- Comfortable with observability and product analytics platforms (Sentry, Datadog, Pendo, Amplitude) and using them to drive testing strategy
- An excellent communicator, able to work cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Design, and Customer Success
- Excited to work in a fast-paced, growth-stage startup environment where your decisions shape the entire engineering culture
- Fluent in AI-assisted development. You use tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar regularly in your own work, apply a deliberate review process before relying on AI output, and are ready to help engineers and QEs on your team develop the same habits
- 7+ years in Quality Engineering, SDET, or equivalent software engineering roles with a quality focus
- BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Proven track record driving quality transformation in a startup or growth-stage SaaS environment
- Hands-on experience building evals for LLM-based or agentic features
- Deep proficiency in at least one modern automation framework (Playwright, Cypress, or similar)
- Track record of delivering quality programs for enterprise SaaS products, ideally in B2B, FinTech, or PropTech
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to balance technical depth and systemic quality improvement
- Consistent, hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, or similar). Uses AI regularly, validates output before shipping, and can coach engineers to build the same disciplined habits
What the job involves
- Dealpath is modernizing its approach to software quality
- We're moving from a centralized manual QA team to a model where delivery teams own quality end-to-end, supported by embedded Quality Engineers
- We need a Principal-level technical leader to drive that transformation as a hands-on individual contributor
- This is not a people-management role
- It's a high-impact senior IC role where your leverage comes from technical depth, judgment, and influence — building shared tooling, setting the bar, and being the person every QE and engineer goes to with hard quality questions
- You will build the frameworks, set the standards, coach the embedded QEs, and own the quality infrastructure for our agentic product direction
- Set the technical direction for quality across Dealpath’s engineering organization — defining the test pyramid strategy, coverage thresholds, release criteria, and tooling choices that shape how every delivery team ships
- Build and own Dealpath’s AI evals practice, creating the infrastructure, metrics, and regression frameworks that ensure our agentic product features meet a rigorous quality bar
- Champion AI-forward quality engineering by using AI tools consistently in your own work and coaching the QE community to do the same: writing better test code, reviewing AI-generated output critically, and applying AI to accelerate evaluation workflows
- Drive the production-quality feedback loop — owning blameless postmortems, RCA practices, and the org-wide quality scorecard that makes escape rates and systemic issues visible to engineering leadership
- Coach and grow embedded Quality Engineers across delivery teams, running the QE community of practice and setting the hiring bar for every QE role
- Influence without authority — driving practice adoption across multiple teams through technical credibility, shared tooling, and principled frameworks that become the standard
- Collaborate closely with VP Engineering and Engineering Managers to evolve Dealpath’s quality culture, infrastructure, and long-term engineering strategy
Application process
- Dealpath conducts interviews via video conference
Our take
The PropTech market has had an up-and-down time over the last few years, with investment reaching record levels in 2021 before taking a dip the following year. The prospect of bringing a $217 trillion global industry into the 21st century is as challenging as it is appealing, due to a whole range of factors including unreliable data, as well as a complex and volatile market.
However, Dealpath is simplifying things by focusing solely on commercial real estate with its cloud-based deal management platform. Investment and development firms, as well as lenders, use the platform as a single point of reference for distributed deal information, while also getting access to real-time market data.
The success of Dealpath can be attributed to its partnership with CompStak in 2018, which provided the up-to-date data that has fueled the platform's rapid growth. This data-driven approach has earned Dealpath a strong reputation, attracting major real estate investment firms like AEW, Blackstone, and Oxford Properties. After expanding into Canada, Dealpath is now preparing for further international growth, bolstered by significant investments.
