About the role
Software Quality Engineering LeadA Fortune 500 client is seeking a Software Quality Engineering Lead to help advance its Quality Engineering Center of Excellence (CoE), with a strong focus on test automation, AI-enabled testing, standards, governance, and innovation. This is a lead-level individual contributor role for someone who can operate as an internal Quality Engineering consultant, partnering across teams to assess testing challenges, research industry best practices, experiment with new approaches, and turn successful ideas into repeatable QE standards. The role is approximately 60% technical leadership, strategy, collaboration, and mentoring and 40% hands-on technical work.
What You'll Do:
Help drive Ryder's Quality Engineering Center of Excellence, establishing standards, governance, metrics, and reusable testing practices.
Research emerging Quality Engineering and automation practices and identify opportunities to introduce them across the organization.
Explore and implement AI-assisted testing, including GitHub Copilot, prompting, agents/orchestration concepts, test-case generation, automation development, test data, and defect/root-cause analysis.
Participate in an innovation-focused environment where new QE concepts can be tested, evaluated, refined, and scaled.
Design, build, and improve automated testing frameworks and integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines.
Provide hands-on testing across web, API, data, cloud, integration, and enterprise applications.
Partner with Product, Engineering, Architecture, DevOps, and business teams to identify quality risks and improve overall delivery.
Help establish Quality Engineering metrics around automation coverage, test effectiveness, defects, and release quality.
Mentor and provide technical direction to approximately 1–2 Quality Engineers initially.
Promote responsible AI practices with an emphasis on security, data protection, human review, and enterprise governance.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
