Senior Director, Software and Quality Engineering

Summary

OneStream is the AI operating system for modern finance. As Sr. Director, Software and Quality Engineering, you will lead our unified software development and quality engineering organization, bringing both disciplines under one leader accountable for how we build, test, and ship the OneStream Platform.

You will direct and execute the strategy for front-end engineering, API development and integration, and test automation on our Microsoft-based stack (C#/.NET, React, and Azure), while making AI-enabled development and testing the default way our teams work. Just as important, you will grow the leaders and engineers who make it happen. This role suits a leader who has driven both software and quality engineering forward, knows OneStream and the CPM/EPM space, stays close to the technical decisions, and is energized by building people.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities

Engineering Strategy and Delivery

• Direct the strategy for front-end, API/Integration, and quality engineering, aligned to business outcomes and partnered closely with Product, Architecture, Security, and CloudOps.
• Lead development and QE as one organization, embedding quality into design, development, and release, and delivering predictably across multiple teams with clear priorities, measurable outcomes, and honest communication of risk.
• Stay hands-on in architecture and design reviews, code and test reviews, and complex debugging, while balancing speed and stability and managing technical debt and modernization as part of the roadmap.

Front-End and API Engineering

• Own the architecture, standards, and roadmap for OneStream’s React-based browser experiences, including performance, accessibility, design systems, and secure client-side design, in partnership with UX and Product.
• Drive integration capabilities that connect OneStream to customer, partner, and ecosystem systems, including REST-based and event-driven patterns.
• Build APIs and services on C#/.NET and Azure, establishing API-first development and contract testing so teams can build in parallel with confidence.

Quality Engineering and Test Automation

• Define the quality framework: test strategy, coverage targets, release criteria, and metrics such as escaped defects, flakiness, and cycle time.
• Lead automation across UI, API, integration, performance, and security layers, with quality gates built into CI/CD and testing shifted left.
• Invest in test infrastructure, environments, and data, and partner with Support and Customer Success to turn customer-found issues into prevention.

AI-Enabled Engineering

• Drive adoption of AI-assisted development, code review, and test generation across engineering and QE, and measure the impact on productivity and quality.
• Apply AI to testing, including test case generation, self-healing automation, defect triage, and risk-based test selection.
• Establish responsible AI practices covering security, governance, data privacy, and human review, and partner with data and AI teams to integrate models and intelligent workflows into the platform.

Team Growth and Culture

• Lead, coach, and grow Engineering Directors, Managers, QE leaders, and Staff+ engineers, building a bench with clear succession plans.
• Own talent strategy: hiring, onboarding, retention, performance management, and technical and leadership career paths for engineers and QE specialists.
• Build a culture of ownership, high trust, inclusion, and continuous improvement, and upskill the organization on modern practices, including AI tools.

Cloud Platform and Operational Excellence

• Guide architecture and engineering standards across C#/.NET, React/TypeScript, SQL Server, and Azure, supporting CI/CD and DevOps practices and ensuring performance, scalability, security, and observability.
• Partner with SRE/CloudOps on reliability, incident response, and runbooks, and with Security to build compliance (SOX, SOC 2, GDPR) into the secure SDLC.
• Communicate roadmap status, risks, and technical strategy clearly to executives and stakeholders.

Required Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 12+ years in software engineering or quality engineering, including 10+ years leading multi-team organizations and managing managers.
• Stays close to the code, architecture, and test strategy, and can credibly engage engineers on technical decisions.
• Proven record of driving both software engineering and quality engineering forward, with measurable gains in delivery, quality, and release confidence.
• Strong technical skills in the Microsoft stack: C#/.NET, React/TypeScript, and Azure (cloud services, DevOps, and CI/CD).
• Deep front-end expertise: React, TypeScript, component architecture, performance, and accessibility.
• Proven track record designing and delivering APIs and integrations for enterprise SaaS, including versioning, security, and backward compatibility.
• Strong test automation and quality engineering background across UI, API, and integration layers, with CI/CD quality gates.
• Demonstrated success implementing AI-enabled development and testing practices within engineering teams or products.
• Experience building and growing high-performing leaders and teams, including hiring, coaching, and succession planning.
• Strong stakeholder management; able to align executives and teams on strategy, trade-offs, and sequencing.

Preferred Education and Experience

• Experience unifying development and QE organizations, or leading both disciplines.
• Prior OneStream experience, with CPM/EPM or financial platform experience.
• Experience with enterprise analytics and data-intensive applications, including SQL Server and OLAP or multi-dimensional processing.
• Experience in regulated or finance-focused environments (SOX, SOC 2, FedRAMP, GDPR).
• Familiarity with distributed systems, cloud platforms, and high-availability, global-scale operations.
• Experience leading distributed teams across time zones.
• Azure certifications (for example AZ-204, AZ-305, or DevOps Engineer Expert).

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Technical depth to challenge and elevate engineering decisions, paired with pragmatic judgment.
• Builder of builders: develops leaders and multiplies impact through people.
• Technologist who earns credibility by staying close to the work.
• Systems thinker who sees the whole platform, from the browser to the API to the release pipeline.
• Clear, confident communicator with technical and executive audiences.
• Collaborative, high-integrity leader with a bias for action and strong accountability.

Supervisory Responsibilities

This position is responsible for the direct supervision management and senior technical individuals across multiple engineering teams.
