This role requires a visionary leader who deeply understands the convergence of networking, security, and cloud infrastructure, with a strong focus on test automation, security validation, and performance benchmarking.

The ideal candidate will lead a global QA organization, collaborating closely with Engineering, Security, DevOps, and Product Management to embed quality and security into every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

  • Lead a global QA organization, including teams focused on automation, performance, security, and compliance testing.
  • Establish and monitor quality KPIs (defect density, test coverage, MTTR, security vulnerabilities) to drive continuous improvement.
  • Champion an automation-first culture, ensuring high efficiency and scalability in testing methodologies.
  • Collaborate with Engineering, Security, and Product Management to ensure that security and networking quality is embedded from design to deployment.

Security & Compliance Validation :

  • Drive security validation for SASE, Zero Trust, and SD-WAN architectures, ensuring compliance with ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, GDPR, and FedRAMP standards.
  • Lead penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and threat modeling efforts to proactively identify and mitigate risks in Versa's security stack.
  • Ensure the integrity of end-to-end encryption, identity management, and secure access policies across cloud and on-premise environments.
  • Collaborate with Threat Intelligence, Security Engineering, and DevSecOps teams to validate security controls and threat detection capabilities.
  • Automation & Performance Testing :

  • Architect and oversee the development of scalable, cloud-native test automation frameworks to validate networking and security functionality.
  • Implement robust performance and scalability testing frameworks for high-throughput, low-latency networking environments.
  • Utilize tools such as Spirent, IXIA, Wireshark, iperf, and Burp Suite for deep network security and performance validation.
  • Optimize test environments for multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid deployments, ensuring Versa's solutions scale seamlessly in diverse environments.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Continuous Improvement :

  • Partner with Engineering to drive a culture of shift-left testing, embedding quality in early development stages.
  • Work with Product Management to define clear acceptance criteria for new features with a focus on security, reliability, and usability.
  • Collaborate with Customer Success & Incident Response teams to analyze real-world performance, optimize test cases, and reduce customer-reported issues.
  • Lead postmortem reviews and root cause analysis (RCA) for critical incidents, driving continuous improvement.
  • Qualifications

    Security & Networking Expertise :

  • 15+ years of experience in Quality Assurance, Networking, and Security, with at least 5 years in executive leadership roles.
  • Extensive experience with SD-WAN, SSE, SASE, and Zero Trust security architecture.
  • Deep understanding of network security architectures, including SWG, CASB, DLP, and next-gen firewalls (NGFWs).
  • Strong grasp of networking protocols (BGP, OSPF, IPSec, TLS, HTTP / HTTPS, QUIC) and deep packet inspection (DPI).
  • Expertise in firewalls, VPNs, IDS / IPS, ZTNA, and endpoint security.
  • Test Automation & Performance Engineering :

  • Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks and scripting languages (Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript).
  • Proven expertise in load, stress, and failover testing for cloud-based and edge networking environments.
  • Experience with security testing tools (Burp Suite, Nessus, Qualys, Metasploit) and performance benchmarking tools (iperf, Spirent, IXIA).
  • Experience in integrating QA automation into CI / CD pipelines for cloud-native deployments.
  • Leadership & Business Acumen :

  • Demonstrated experience in building and scaling global QA teams in fast-paced, Agile development environments.
  • Strong decision-making and problem-solving skills, with a data-driven approach to improving product quality.
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence C-level executives, engineers, and customers.
  • A passion for continuous innovation in testing methodologies, with a strong focus on AI-driven test automation and machine learning-based anomaly detection.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Deep knowledge of Versa Networks' SD-WAN and SASE solutions or experience in a similar networking / security product company.
  • Industry certifications such as CCIE Security, CISSP, CISM, AWS Certified Security Specialist, or Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH).
  • Experience in AI / ML-driven test automation and predictive analytics for quality engineering.
