Lead Quality Engineer
About The Position
The Lead Quality Engineer is a hands-on technical leader responsible for shaping and advancing quality engineering practices across JSX’s software development organization.

This role plays a key part in evolving JSX’s quality engineering maturity, including leveraging automation, observability, and AI-assisted testing to improve coverage, velocity, and release confidence. This role is based in Dallas, TX and requires on‑site work 4 days per week. Candidates must be local to the DFW area to be considered, as relocation assistance is not available.
