Cohesity helps organizations defend against cybersecurity threats with comprehensive data security and management capabilities, including immutable backup snapshots, AI-based threat detection, monitoring for malicious behavior, and rapid recovery at scale.

We’ve been named a Leader by multiple analyst firms and have been globally recognized for Innovation, Product Strength, and Simplicity in Design.

Join us on our mission to shape the future of our industry.

As a Quality Engineering Leader, you will define and lead the global quality vision across all flagship product lines. Your mission is to ensure our software meets the highest standards of reliability, security, and performance.

You will drive quality engineering excellence throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), champion DevSecOps practices, and foster a culture of continuous improvement and customer-centric innovation.

Leading the Central QA team and partnering with QA leads across product teams, you’ll ensure consistent, predictable, and on-time delivery of enterprise-ready products. You’ll define and implement quality criteria from day one of development through release, ensuring every phase upholds uncompromising quality standards.

This role will also lead initiatives to enhance release management visibility, from daily testing status to executive-level readiness reporting. You will embed a “shift-left” mindset across Engineering, enforce rigorous root-cause analysis, and drive systemic corrective actions that strengthen quality across the organization.

  • Expertise in test automation, observability, and quality metrics.
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
