Summary Generated by Built In

PreVeil is a rapidly growing SaaS company transforming secure communication and compliance for the modern enterprise.

Our encrypted email and file sharing platform delivers the strength of end-to-end encryption with the simplicity of Dropbox and has been recognized by PC Magazine as the Best Encrypted Email and File Sharing Solution five years in a row.

We are trusted by over 2,200 Defense contractors, helping them protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and comply with CMMC, DFARS, and ITAR — the cybersecurity and export control standards that govern the U.S. Defense Industrial Base. PreVeil’s platform is the gold standard for defense suppliers protecting sensitive information and achieving compliance efficiently.

With our leadership position in Aerospace & Defense established, we are now expanding into Healthcare, Tax, Legal, and Financial Services — industries facing similar security and compliance challenges that PreVeil solves elegantly.

About the Role

PreVeil is looking for a Software Quality Assurance Director to lead the team responsible for the quality of our end-to-end encrypted email and file-sharing platform. Reporting to the VP of Engineering, you will take ownership of a QA function that today is largely manual and hands-on — deeply skilled at finding real-world, at-scale issues in our web, Windows, and macOS applications — and grow it into a more mature, automation-forward organization without losing that rigor.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will set testing strategy, mentor and grow the QA team, and work closely with Engineering, Security, and Compliance so that every release — especially file sync, sharing, and storage functionality — holds up under real-world usage and regulatory scrutiny alike. When a release is ready to ship, your sign-off is the one that matters.

 

What You’ll Own

 

 

QA Strategy & Test Architecture

  Define the overall test strategy across web, desktop (Windows/macOS), and mobile, spanning manual and automated coverage

  Set standards for test design, edge-case and scale coverage, and defect triage across the engineering org

  Own test planning for major releases, prioritizing real-world usage scenarios and at-scale robustness

 

 

Automation & Tooling Maturity

  Grow the QA function from its current manual-testing strength into a more automation-forward practice

  Introduce and scale automated testing (e.g., Selenium) and scripting (Python/Shell) where it adds the most leverage

  Evaluate and roll out bug tracking and test management tooling (e.g., Jira, TestRail, Zephyr) to fit team scale

  Leverage AI tools like Claude/ChatGPT to improve test coverage and automation

 

 

Team Leadership & Process

  Hire, mentor, and manage a QA team of manual and, over time, automation-focused engineers

  Establish clear defect management, escalation, and communication processes within an Agile/Scrum workflow

  Champion a quality-first culture across the product organization, not just within QA

  Work with Engineering to root-cause and prevent recurring issues in core file management functionality

 

 

Release Management, Security & Risk

  Own the go/no-go quality gate for production releases

  Build QA familiarity with encryption, privacy, and security testing concepts specific to our product

  Ensure test practices and evidence support CMMC, NIST 800-171, and FedRAMP requirements alongside Compliance

 

What We’re Looking For

 

10+ years in software quality assurance of a widely deployed enterprise/consumer client application, with 5+ years in a QA leadership or management role

Track record leading or scaling a QA team, including test strategy, process, and hiring

Proven experience testing complex web applications and desktop applications on both Windows and macOS

Strong background in file management testing — file operations, synchronization, and data integrity

Experience with scale, robustness, and real-world scenario testing of highly distributed applications

Well-versed in bug tracking and test management tools (e.g., Jira, TestRail, Zephyr)

Excellent written and verbal communication — you can explain risk and quality status to both engineers and executives

 

Nice to Have

 

Experience introducing test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium) into a primarily manual QA practice

Scripting experience (Python, Shell) for troubleshooting or test tooling

Experience testing iOS and/or Android applications

Understanding of encryption, privacy, and security testing concepts

Prior QA leadership at a company selling into government or defense customers, or familiarity with CMMC/NIST 800-171/FedRAMP

Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment

Familiarity with performance testing tools
