About the Role
PreVeil is looking for a Software Quality Assurance Director to lead the team responsible for the quality of our end-to-end encrypted email and file-sharing platform. Reporting to the VP of Engineering, you will take ownership of a QA function that today is largely manual and hands-on — deeply skilled at finding real-world, at-scale issues in our web, Windows, and macOS applications — and grow it into a more mature, automation-forward organization without losing that rigor.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will set testing strategy, mentor and grow the QA team, and work closely with Engineering, Security, and Compliance so that every release — especially file sync, sharing, and storage functionality — holds up under real-world usage and regulatory scrutiny alike. When a release is ready to ship, your sign-off is the one that matters.
What You’ll Own
| QA Strategy & Test Architecture • Define the overall test strategy across web, desktop (Windows/macOS), and mobile, spanning manual and automated coverage • Set standards for test design, edge-case and scale coverage, and defect triage across the engineering org • Own test planning for major releases, prioritizing real-world usage scenarios and at-scale robustness |
| Automation & Tooling Maturity • Grow the QA function from its current manual-testing strength into a more automation-forward practice • Introduce and scale automated testing (e.g., Selenium) and scripting (Python/Shell) where it adds the most leverage • Evaluate and roll out bug tracking and test management tooling (e.g., Jira, TestRail, Zephyr) to fit team scale • Leverage AI tools like Claude/ChatGPT to improve test coverage and automation |
| Team Leadership & Process • Hire, mentor, and manage a QA team of manual and, over time, automation-focused engineers • Establish clear defect management, escalation, and communication processes within an Agile/Scrum workflow • Champion a quality-first culture across the product organization, not just within QA • Work with Engineering to root-cause and prevent recurring issues in core file management functionality |
| Release Management, Security & Risk • Own the go/no-go quality gate for production releases • Build QA familiarity with encryption, privacy, and security testing concepts specific to our product • Ensure test practices and evidence support CMMC, NIST 800-171, and FedRAMP requirements alongside Compliance |
What We’re Looking For
10+ years in software quality assurance of a widely deployed enterprise/consumer client application, with 5+ years in a QA leadership or management role | |
Track record leading or scaling a QA team, including test strategy, process, and hiring | |
Proven experience testing complex web applications and desktop applications on both Windows and macOS | |
Strong background in file management testing — file operations, synchronization, and data integrity | |
Experience with scale, robustness, and real-world scenario testing of highly distributed applications | |
Well-versed in bug tracking and test management tools (e.g., Jira, TestRail, Zephyr) | |
Excellent written and verbal communication — you can explain risk and quality status to both engineers and executives |
Nice to Have
Experience introducing test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium) into a primarily manual QA practice | |
Scripting experience (Python, Shell) for troubleshooting or test tooling | |
Experience testing iOS and/or Android applications | |
Understanding of encryption, privacy, and security testing concepts | |
Prior QA leadership at a company selling into government or defense customers, or familiarity with CMMC/NIST 800-171/FedRAMP | |
Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment | |
Familiarity with performance testing tools |
