This person will establish principles, practices, and systems that make quality intrinsic to how we develop, validate, and release software.</span></p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">This is a founding role. Quality today is strong - our engineers and product team own it directly, with solid automated regression coverage already in place. We're making this investment because the platform's complexity and clinical scope warrant a dedicated senior person focused entirely on making quality systematic, scalable, and increasingly efficient. The right person will free up engineering leverage while raising the bar on testability, risk management, and release confidence across a complex, highly configurable clinical platform.</span></p>\n</div>"
