What You Will Do: Lead the design, development, and deployment of complex, scalable software systems using an AI-augmented workflow. Own the full delivery pipeline: from requirement analysis and architectural design to coding, QA automation, CI/CD, and production observability. Act as a force multiplier by establishing best practices for AI-driven development and mentoring a cross-functional team of engineers. Write clean, efficient, and maintainable cross-stack code (Python, Java, C++, etc.), setting the standard for code hygiene and design patterns. Interface with senior leadership to translate complex technical challenges and project progress into clear, objective insights. Develop "living documentation" that ensures systems are maintainable and easily handed over. Proactively experiment with and integrate new tools and techniques to continuously improve our development processes. You Are: A Proven Leader: 8 to 14 years in software development, with significant experience as a Senior, Lead, or Principal Engineer in a high-growth environment. You have a track record of leading through technical excellence and influence (startup or product-centric company experience is a major plus). An AI-Powered Developer: Demonstrable, hands-on expertise using modern AI development tools and assistants to write, debug, and test code. You think in terms of optimal prompting and leveraging AI to solve complex problems. A True System Owner : You have a proven history of taking products from idea to production. You can visualize complex systems, design robust, scalable solutions, and are deeply familiar with the full operational lifecycle: observability, monitoring, alerting, and security. 100% Hands-On & Cross-Stack : You are not afraid to get your hands dirty and can comfortably switch between technologies. A Pragmatic Product Thinker : You are obsessed with the end-user experience and have a strong intuition for what brings value to the customer. You use this business understanding as a guiding star for your technical decisions. A Bias for Action : You excel at breaking down complex problems and delivering results iteratively. You experiment, learn quickly, and don't get stuck, maintaining high throughput without sacrificing quality. An Excellent Communicator : You can articulate a technical vision to engineers and a business impact to senior leadership. You understand that great communication requires empathy, clear context, and structured thinking to achieve the best results. Nice If You have: Experience with voice and video technologies: WebRTC, SIP, XMPP. Knowledge and hands-on experience on cloud platforms like AWS or Azure. Multi-modal AI Applications: Experience with systems that process and integrate different data types (e.g., voice, text, video). LLM Application Frameworks: Experience with frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex

We are seeking a hands-on QA Lead to build and own the future of quality assurance at Sonetel. This is a player-coach role where you will define our QA strategy, build and manage Sonetel’s automation frameworks, and lead a small, agile QA team. You are a quality architect and a master of release velocity, with strong fundamentals in testing principles and systematic thinking. You will have end-to-end ownership of the quality function, from shaping requirements to certifying production releases, ensuring our customers receive a world-class product. What You Will Do: Define, build, and own Sonetel’s QA strategy, processes, and automation frameworks for UI, API, and regression testing. Lead a small QA team, providing hands-on mentorship, guidance, and support. Act as a force multiplier by embedding a “quality-first” mindset across engineering, product, and operations teams. Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans and test cases with a heavy emphasis on automation. Design comprehensive test strategies with strong focus on risk-based testing and user experience validation. Own the release management process from a quality perspective, acting as the final gatekeeper for production deployments. Collaborate with operations and customer-facing teams to triage production issues, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and convert learnings into automated test coverage. Establish and track key quality metrics (e.g., defect escape rate, automation coverage, release confidence) to drive continuous improvement. Requirements Who You Are: A Proven QA Leader: 5-8 years in software quality assurance, with significant experience as a Senior or Lead QA Engineer in a high-growth startup or product-centric company. You have a track record of building QA functions from the ground up.
