Job Description
<div class="content-intro"><h2 style="text-align: left;">Work from anywhere, impact everywhere&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Diversity is at the heart of who we are at Xapo Bank. <br>We’re a fully distributed team of over 160 Xapiens that work remotely from 50+ countries around the world.</p>
<p>Our beginning: A world that enjoys economic freedom and wealth protection,no matter where you live or who is running your country.<br>To achieve that, we search the world for the best people for the job. <br>We work hard, think globally, and inspire each other to learn and grow. <br>We are committed to changing the way things are done.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 500;">Although we are headquartered in Gibraltar, this is a full time, 100% remote position&nbsp;<br></span><span style="font-weight: 500;">Work from anywhere!</span></p></div><h2>Position overview</h2>
<p>We're looking for a Head of Quality Engineering to join our technology function, reporting directly to the CTO. At Xapo, we are building truly cross-functional teams with full ownership of design, architecture, building, testing, delivery, data, and operations, structured as Stream Aligned Teams (SATs), Platform teams and Enabling teams as per Team Topologies.</p>
<p>This role owns the quality framework across the entire technology function, coverage standards, gate criteria, AI-assisted test tooling, SAT enablement, and pre-release veto authority. You give engineering, apps, and web a single accountable owner for what "quality" means and how it is measured.</p>
<p>This is not a traditional QA role. You will not sit in a test team checking other people's code, SAT engineers own quality in their own code (shift-left). You own the system engineers test within: the framework, the tooling, the gates, and the standards.</p>
<p>The role is deliberately tooling-heavy over headcount-heavy. Your budget is for tooling and AI tokens, not for building a QA team beneath you. The agentic QA pipeline is already in active PoC with positive early results; you will own scaling it to production. Your north star: fully automated quality enforcement, where releases are blocked automatically when rigorous checks fail, without needing human intervention. Target: more than 80% of release quality decisions made by automated tooling within 12 months of hire.</p>
<p>This is an opportunity to shape how a regulated crypto bank defines and enforces software quality,&nbsp; at the intersection of engineering excellence, AI-assisted tooling, and a genuinely high-stakes production environment.</p>
<h2>Responsibilities</h2>
