Director of Technology Operations (Fully Remote)

The Role We Need

--------------------

We’re hiring a Director of Technology Operations to lead the three functions that keep PadSplit’s technology and business operations healthy: Quality Assurance, IT & internal tooling, and Security. You’ll inherit existing teams across each area and be responsible for modernizing how they work: moving QA toward automation, IT toward proactive enablement, and Security toward a structured, risk-based program.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll set strategy and own outcomes across all three areas, while staying close enough to the work to evaluate a test architecture, challenge a vendor renewal, or lead an incident review yourself.

The Person We Are Looking For

---------------------------------

We’re looking for a technology leader who has led multiple technology operations functions and knows how to turn reactive, manual processes into scalable systems. You should be comfortable moving between strategy and execution, developing teams while also getting into the details when the situation calls for it.

You’ll need strong technical judgment, particularly across QA, IT operations, and Security, and the ability to translate technical risks and tradeoffs into clear business decisions. Most importantly, you’re a player-coach who can modernize these functions without losing sight of the people and teams responsible for delivering the work.

### Here's What You'll Be Doing Day-to-Day

• Set QA strategy: Define what quality means at PadSplit, how it’s measured, and how quality is built into the development lifecycle rather than addressed at the end.
• Modernize testing: Increase test automation, improve CI/CD quality gates, and move the team from manual regression toward automation engineering.
• Scale with AI: Evaluate and adopt AI-assisted testing tools for test generation, maintenance, and triage so QA can keep pace with product demand without relying solely on headcount grow
