Join Goodnotes as our Domain Lead, Quality Engineer and operate as the strategic owner for your designated business vertical. This team is focused on embedding quality into the product development lifecycle. You will be part of the Quality Engineering function working across your domain's product teams to drive our Shift‑Left Engineering transformation, ensuring quality is a shared responsibility from planning to release.

In this high‑impact role, you will own the delivery and quality of the features released within your domain. You won’t just run tests; you will manage, mentor, and strategically enforce the standards required to prevent defects before code is even written. Operating at the intersection of our Domain and Product squad, you will drive a strategy centered on API contract testing, performance engineering, and “quality‑as‑code” within our CI/CD pipelines.

We are looking for a leader who views Quality Engineering as an enabler of speed. If you are passionate about building scalable automation frameworks and influencing architecture from day one, this is your opportunity to set the standard for a world‑class engineering team.

This is the role for you, if you’re excited to work on the things listed below:

• Driving Shared Quality: Serve as the primary quality partner to EMs and PMs. You are jointly responsible for the delivery of testing and the overall quality of the features released within your domain. You will drive the adoption of Testable Design and Shift‑Left practices within the product teams.
• Domain Quality Strategy: Define and execute the quality strategy for your domain (e.g., Platform stability, AI accuracy, iOS Foundation performance), ensuring alignment with the overall company QE transformation roadmap.

• Cross‑Domain Alignment: Actively participate in the weekly Quality Huddle with other Domain Leads to identify and mitigate cross‑cutting risks and dependencies (e.g., changes in Platform sync affecting iOS Foundation stability).
• Partner Management: Own the effective integration and utilisation of embedded partner resources (TMA/HTEC) within your domain, treating them as full team collaborators and moving away from a ticketing‑based execution model.
• Getting Your Hands Dirty: This is not a ‘hands off’ role, you will be expected to contribute to the day to day testing in the product teams within your domain. You may not work on the critical path, but you will be actively involved in the testing activities.

• Line Management: Provide direct line management, mentorship, and career development coaching for the Quality Engineers within your squad, reducing the administrative overhead on senior QE management.
• Recruitment & Mentorship: Drive the…
