OneStream is seeking a Director of Quality Engineering to lead and mature the company's approach to quality with an automation-first, AI-enabled mindset embedded in the software development lifecycle. This is a leadership role responsible for improving release confidence, reducing customer-facing defects, and building a culture where quality is everyone's responsibility.
The Director will report directly to engineering leadership and manage Quality Engineering team members, managers, and senior technical talent. Key responsibilities span four areas:
**Strategy & Transformation:** Execute and refine QE strategy, operating practices, governance, and metrics for OneStream's complex enterprise SaaS and CPM (Corporate Performance Management) platform. Lead the shift from traditional QA to modern quality engineering by embedding quality ownership earlier in the software development lifecycle. Promote engineering excellence and customer-centered quality culture across assigned teams and partner organizations.
**AI Enablement & Automation:** Collaborate on AI quality engineering enablement through practical adoption, standards, and team-level governance. Drive automation-first practices including continuous testing, quality gates, performance testing, and quality dashboards. Advance AI-assisted test generation, intelligent test selection, defect prediction, and quality insights from telemetry. Stay technically engaged by reviewing automation approaches, frameworks, and quality data to guide team execution.
**Risk & Release Governance:** Define quality gates and release standards connected to business impact, not just defect counts. Identify and mitigate risk across releases, integrations, data workflows, cloud scalability, security, and performance. Support dashboards that give engineering and business leaders clear visibility into release readiness and quality trends.
**People & Cross-Functional Leadership:** Lead, coach, and develop QE team members and managers; strengthen team capability and bench strength. Drive a high-energy, inclusive team culture with accountability and continuous improvement. Partner with Engineering, Product, Cloud, Security, DevOps, and Customer Success on quality priorities. Communicate quality risks, tradeoffs, and outcomes to engineering and business stakeholders in clear, actionable terms.
