Engineering Quality & Excellence Manager

As the Engineering Quality & Excellence Manager, you will scale engineering standards and quality practices across the entire global Engineering organization. You will define what good engineering looks like at AMCS, measure whether the organization is actually doing it, and drive Engineering Managers to close the gaps.

About AMCS

• AMCS, a global leader in technology that makes a measurable difference for customers, communities, and the planet.
• Proven ability to drive change across organisational boundaries through influence, evidence and governance rather than line authority

Responsibilities

• This role requires a strong command of engineering and quality metrics, experience with regulatory or audit frameworks, and a deep understanding of modern engineering practices.
• Definir, poseer y evolucionar los estándares de ingeniería globales que describen lo que es una buena ingeniería en todos los productos y equipos.
• Ser el propietario operativo del sistema de excelencia en ingeniería, convirtiendo las expectativas en estándares, mediciones, gobernanza y programas de mejora.
• Utilizar datos para identificar riesgos sistémicos de calidad e ingeniería, y dirigir programas de mejora con los gerentes de ingeniería, haciéndolos responsables de cerrar las brechas en sus propios equipos.
• Credible with engineers without needing to be a hands-on developer — genuine technical literacy and the confidence to hold a technical argument

Requirements

• Strong command of engineering and quality metrics, and the judgement to distinguish a meaningful signal from a metric that will be gamed
• Deep understanding of modern engineering practice — source control strategy, code review, CI/CD, test automation strategy, static analysis, performance engineering, observability and secure development — with enough depth to credibly challenge Engineering Managers on any of them
• Substantial experience in senior engineering, engineering quality or engineering excellence leadership roles within a multi-product software organisation
• Comfortable operating globally across time zones, cultures and engineering teams with different histories and maturity levels
• Resilient and direct, able to deliver unwelcome findings to peers and hold the standard under delivery pressure

Preferred

• Experience of regulatory or audit frameworks such as SOC 2, PCI DSS or ISO 27001 from the engineering side, including evidence and remediation
• Experience defining and running a maturity model, assessment framework or engineering standards programme at scale
