About the role
Duetto is building its quality engineering function from scratch — and this is the first hire that will define what quality engineering means across the organisation. This isn't a traditional QA gatekeeper role: developers own testing at Duetto, and you'll be the person who coaches, enables, and builds the shared infrastructure that makes high-quality testing the path of least resistance. The timing is significant — a live monolith-to-microservices migration, a frontend migration to Playwright, and a shift to AI-generated code at scale. Each demands someone who can design test strategy for a system in motion. What Makes Us Different? Duetto is the hospitality industry's leading revenue management platform, founded in 2012 by former Wynn Resorts executives who knew the industry needed better technology. We built the world's first Revenue & Profit Operating System — a suite of tools (GameChanger, ScoreBoard, BlockBuster, Advance and more) that goes beyond room pricing to give hotels, resorts and casinos a complete picture of their revenue and profitability. Trusted by clients ranging from independent boutique hotels to global chains, we've been named the #1 Revenue Management Software by HotelTechAwards four years running and the #1 Best Place to Work in Hotel Tech in 2025. Backed by GrowthCurve Capital since 2024, we're accelerating our investment in AI — and we're genuinely passionate about the industry we serve. We build products we're proud of, for customers we care about. What You'll Be Doing You'll define and own quality gate logic within CI pipelines — coverage thresholds, mutation score gates, contract test enforcement, flaky test quarantine rules, and test result reporting — and build DataDog quality dashboards tracking test health, coverage trends, and flaky test rates across the engineering organisation. You'll lead and execute the migration from Selenium and Cypress to consolidated Playwright (currently 26% complete), using Claude Code to accelerate AI-assisted test migration at scale — designing the shared Playwright configuration, CI sharding strategy, and page object library, and consolidating from three E2E frameworks to one. You'll design and implement Pact contract testing for service boundaries created during the monolith-to-microservices extraction — managing the Pact broker, establishing consumer-driven contract testing as standard practice, and owning API contract testing for GraphQL and REST service contracts. You'll design and maintain Testcontainers configurations for MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, LocalStack, and RabbitMQ, and drive PR pipeline test execution toward the P90 target of under 15 minutes. You'll champion AI-augmented testing practices using Claude Code, CodeRabbit, and Augment — evaluating and reviewing AI-generated test code for correctness and coverage gaps in a codebase where 50–70% of code is already AI-generated. You'll coach developers on testing practices and automation patterns, establish mutation testing using PIT (Java) and Stryker (JavaScript/TypeScript), and mentor junior QEs as the quality engineering function grows.
