In this role, you will ensure that product quality specifications align with corporate and customer standards, while shaping end to end software quality governance and development standards to enable world class engineering practices. You will work independently with limited supervision, coach software development teams, and solve complex problems that impact multiple product lines.
This is a fulltime position based in Krakow, Poland, with the mission to ensure software quality throughout the entire development lifecycle from requirements and design, through implementation, verification, and validation.

- Establish standards for the software development life cycle across the product lines.
- Support implementation of test automation and static analysis tools.
- Lead source code and design reviews.
Additional Impact Areas

Process leadership: Act as a key driver for continuous improvement in software development processes and quality culture.
Cross-functional collaboration: Bridge gaps between development, testing, and product management to ensure alignment on quality goals.
Innovation enablement: Scout and support adoption of modern tools and practices such as AIpowered coding assistance, low-code/no-code platforms, DevSecOps, cloud-native development, and sustainable software engineering.

- Demonstrated ability to lead software quality improvement initiatives that influence multiple teams, including the definition of quality standards, coding practices, and lifecycle process requirements.
- Strong understanding of modern software engineering practices including test automation, static code analysis, coding standards, design and implementation patterns, and metrics driven quality management.
- Practical experience in introducing and promoting best practice tooling and methods across R&D teams, including the adoption of automation frameworks and improvements to tool usage standards.
- Proven ability to conduct reviews, and to guide teams in systematic defect analysis and the implementation of effective countermeasures.
- Experience coaching team members and supporting cross functional collaboration with development, test, and product teams.
- Ability to work independently with limited supervision, while contributing to complex problem solving and broader continuous improvement initiatives.
