Director of Engineering ,Automation, Performance & AI Quality

We are looking for a visionary engineering leader to architect and lead our quality engineering discipline into the AI era. You will own automation infrastructure, performance engineering, and all AI-driven quality initiatives - building and mentoring high-performing teams of engineers and architects who set the standard for how modern software is validated at scale.
This is not a maintenance role. You will disrupt legacy testing paradigms, champion agentic test generation, and embed AI-quality thinking into every stage of the SDLC - from the first commit to production monitoring. You will be the organizational bridge between engineering velocity and product reliability.
How will you make an impact?
AI Quality Strategy:
Define and lead all AI-augmented quality initiatives across the organization
Deploy LLM-powered test generation, triage, and root-cause analysis tooling
Build frameworks for validating AI/ML model outputs and non-deterministic behaviors
Evaluate and integrate emergin

דרישות:

12+ years in software engineering or QA, with 5+ years in engineering leadership at the Director level or senior Staff+ with direct reports
Deep hands-on background in test automation architecture - you've built frameworks from scratch, not just inherited them
Proven track record leading performance engineering at scale (10,000+ concurrent users, distributed systems, cloud-native environments)
Experience shipping or operating AI/ML systems and understanding the unique quality challenges they introduce
Prior success managing multi-team orgs with both IC engineers and architects (10-40+ total headcount)
Enterprise software domain experience strongly preferred (SaaS, CCaaS, fintech, or similar high-uptime/regulated environments)
AI & Technical Acumen:
Working knowledge of LLM capabilities and limitations relevant to software testing (prompt engineering, RAG, agentic workflows)
Experience evaluating or integrating AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or equivalents) in en
