This Associate Director, Test Engineering position can work out of Alameda, CA location. We are looking for a Director of Test Engineering to help accelerate growth across the U.S., Spain, and India. In this role, you will build and lead a world-class, globally distributed software test engineering function. The role requires a hands-on leader who thrives in building, can roll up their sleeves alongside their team, and understands that quality in a consumer health platform is both a technical discipline and a direct expression of how much we care about the people using our product. You will own the end-to-end software testing strategy across Lingo’s platforms, mobile applications, CGM and biosensor data pipelines, AI/ML models, and the broader consumer platform. You will also grow and unify a global team of software quality engineers who operate with the same standards and urgency regardless of time zone.
