Overview

How you can make a difference

The AVP Quality Engineering and Release Management role is a key engineering leader reporting to the Head of Engineering, responsible for defining and executing the enterprise Quality strategy for HealthEquity across three distinct ecosystems: our flagship platform, the platform for our Reimbursement Accounts Product, and our specialized Mobile suite. This role will lead a federated organization of Core Quality COE/Infrastructure team, Release Management team and a team of Software Development Engineers in Test, who are embedded within Scrum teams but report centrally to you. This leader's mission is to harmonize quality standards, modernize our release machinery, and pioneer the integration of Agentic AI to move us toward a self-healing, autonomous testing and release lifecycle. This role reports to the Head of Engineering.

What you'll be doing

Lead a Core Quality COE/Infrastructure team, and Release Management team.

Manage a high-performing, matrixed team of Software Development Engineers in Test. Ensure a consistent "Quality First" culture while allowing for the speed and autonomy of embedded Scrum teams.

Establish a single source of truth for quality metrics (e.g., DORA metrics, escaped defect rates, code coverage) across all of our platforms.

Lead the implementation of Agentic AI to move beyond static scripts. Drive the adoption of AI agents that can autonomously discover bugs, generate test cases, and self-heal broken tests.

Utilize machine learning to predict release risks and automate "Go/No-Go" decisions based on historical performance and real-time telemetry.

Design and maintain the release "trains" for multiple backend Platforms and Mobile, ensuring backend dependencies are synchronized with Mobile app store deployments.

Own the strategy and uptime for all lower environments (Dev, QA, UAT). Drive the transition toward ephemeral, containerized environments that reduce "environment drift" bottlenecks.

Act as the primary bridge between Product, Engineering, Security and DevOps. You must be able to influence leaders across different legacy stacks and any newly created teams.

Own enterprise-wide quality reporting and deliver executive-level insights.

Partner with Architecture to evolve tooling, test frameworks, and CI/CD integrations.

Establish rigorous release governance, scheduling, coordination, documentation, and communications.

Define and enforce release criteria, quality gates, and rollback processes.

Drive improvements across release predictability, throughput, quality, and speed.

Build and foster a culture of accountability, excellence, and continuous improvement.

Mentor QA leaders and build strong career paths and technical ladders.

Manage a global talent strategy balancing FTE, nearshore, and offshore resources.

Partner closely with Engineering Teams, Compliance, Security, Audit, Architecture and PMO to meet SOX/SOC2 and regulatory expectations.

Participate in strategic planning for platform modernization and architectural evolution.

What you will need to be successful

12+ years in Software Engineering/Quality leadership, with at least 5 years at the Director or AVP level.

Proven track record of managing quality for large-scale distributed systems and complex mobile ecosystems (iOS/Android).

Experience navigating the technical and cultural integration of acquired pl

atforms.

Deep understanding of LLMs and AI Agents (e.g., AutoGPT, LangChain frameworks) applied to the SDLC. We are looking for a leader who treats AI as a core engineer, not just a tool.
