Senior Quality Assurance Engineer

VIA
Somerville, MA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/1/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/1/2026

VIA is making an impact, and so can you.

At VIA, our mission is to make communities cleaner, safer, and more equitable. We believe that by working across organizational boundaries, we can achieve greater collective good than we can individually. 

VIA is trusted by the U.S. Department of Defense and Fortune 100 companies around the globe to solve their toughest data and identity protection challenges. Using our Web3, quantum-resistant, passwordless technologies (20 issued patents), VIA protects data against theft, manipulation, and misuse.

Unbreakable software is at the core of our mission.

VIA is looking for a strategic Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to define and own our quality standards. This is not a traditional 'downstream' QA role, you will be responsible for building the systems that allow our engineers to integrate testing into their day-to-day workflow. You will act as a force multiplier by leveraging AI-driven automation to replace manual processes and ensure our products meet rigorous security requirements.

In this role, you will:

  • Define the quality gates and testing methodologies used across the entire engineering organization
  • Partner with engineering teams to integrate developer-level testing and ensure testing is caught early in the development cycle, moving away from siloed, downstream testing toward a model of shared ownership
  • Own testing infrastructure through the selection, implementation, and maintenance of the testing tools and systems that allow for scalable, unbreakable software
  • Strategically identify and implement AI tools and agents to eliminate manual bottlenecks and extensively automate repetitive testing tasks, maximizing efficiency and coverage
  • Drive QA excellence by partnering with technical leadership and Client Delivery Leads to ensure testing is properly prioritized and accounted for during project planning and resource allocation

What you will bring to this role:

  • Proven software quality assurance experience in a high-growth technical landscape
  • The ability to "talk the talk" with senior engineers to build technical authority and maintain credible feedback loops
  • A proactive approach to using AI agents and automation to optimize the QA lifecycle and increase productivity
  • Familiarity with high-security standards (CJIS, CMMC, or SOC 2) to ensure testing aligns with VIA’s compliance goals
  • The ability to be a "jack of all trades" who can balance rigorous standards with the agility of a 100-person company

What does it take to be a successful VIAneer? Let’s break it down, our VIAneers are:

  • Self-motivated and passionate about leaving everything they touch better than how they found it
  • Firm believers that people should love what they do and are eager to build a culture that enables them to do their best work
  • Creative problem solvers who respectfully challenge the status quo in the pursuit of excellence
  • People who lead discussions with curiosity and value diverse perspectives
  • Eager to explore new ideas, understand the power of feedback, and constantly seek opportunities to grow and develop their skills
  • Strong team players who thrive in collaborative environments and celebrate the success of others

What can VIA do for you?

VIA offers competitive benefits, flexible work options, and individualized mentoring and growth opportunities. Here are just a few of our VIAneers’ favorite perks:

  • Compensation:
