Engagements · 6 ways to work with Loop

The shape of the engagement matches where you are.

From a single embedded engineer to a 6–10 week transformation sprint. Every offer is built around one belief: the future of QA leadership is not owning test execution. It's owning the quality intelligence layer that helps engineering ship with confidence.

01Diagnosis

An audit that names where leverage is leaking.

02Alignment

A workshop that gets QA, engineering, and product on one model.

03Transformation

A sprint that ships the new operating model with measurable ROI.

Section 01 · People

Loop SDETs and the hiring function around them.

Three ways to put senior, AI-fluent quality engineers inside your team. Embedded, screened, or recruited.

PPL-001People

Embedded QA

A senior SDET on your team, beachheading AI-native quality.

Buyer state. “We need someone who can show our team what AI-augmented testing actually looks like.”

Loop's embedded QA engineers join your team as full members. Not contractors who throw deliverables over a wall. They're senior SDETs who understand augmented coding and AI deeply, and their job is to prove the new operating model by living it: shipping leverage every week, mentoring teammates into the practice, and turning the hiring profile of QA inside your org.

PPL-002People

Managed Hiring

Tech screenings for companies who don't yet know how to hire for AI.

Buyer state. “I have headcount, but I don't trust our pipeline to assess AI fluency.”

Most engineering orgs haven't yet retooled their interview loop for AI-augmented work. Loop runs the entire screening process. Coding interview design, technical screens, take-homes, debrief calibration. For QA and engineering hires where AI fluency, system thinking, and quality intuition all matter. You see only the candidates who pass our bar.

PPL-003People

Traditional Recruitment

Direct candidate placement at a standard recruiting fee.

Buyer state. “I just need qualified QA / engineering candidates.”

If you'd rather skip the screening engagement and just see qualified candidates, Loop also runs traditional recruiting on a standard per-placement fee. Same talent pool, same quality bar. Just a leaner contract structure for teams that already know how to interview.

Section 02 · Engagements

Diagnosis, alignment, and transformation.

Three engagement shapes for QA leaders moving from “what do I do?” to “how do we actually change?”

AUD-001Audit

QA Leverage Review

A one-day private review of your QA team, process, automation, dashboards, and constraints. Through a leverage lens.

Buyer state. “I need a clear, outside diagnosis of our current QA setup before we buy more tools, reorganize the team, or expand automation.”

Not a generic workshop. The day is built around your current QA reality. Your people, your access, your automation, your dashboards, your team's skills, and the constraints you're operating under. Pre-work intake → curated agenda → one-day private review → takeaway packet with a 90-day plan and a boss-ready summary memo.

ALN-001Alignment

Quality Strategy & Leadership Alignment

A 3–6 week leadership engagement to align QA, engineering, product, and executives around how quality should work in the AI era.

Buyer state. “We know QA needs to change, but the change can't be made by the QA leader alone.”

Not a training day. A leadership engagement that begins with a private current-state diagnosis (intake + optional stakeholder interviews), runs a one-day core session that aligns QA, engineering, product, and executive leadership on the future operating model, and follows with three 90-minute progress reviews so the strategy turns into operating change.

SPR-001Sprint

Quality Transformation Sprint

A 6–10 week implementation sprint where we work alongside your team to move QA from test execution to a higher-leverage quality operating model.

Buyer state. “We know the current QA model isn't creating enough leverage. We need hands-on help changing it. Not another strategy session.”

Not another strategy session. Over 6–10 weeks we work alongside your QA, engineering, product, and leadership teams to change how quality actually happens. Review real QA work, redesign ownership, ship an AI/automation pilot, build the dashboard, and establish the management cadence that makes the new model stick.

Not sure which one

Start with the public course or the audit.

The public course gives you the framework and a 90-day plan. The audit applies it to your team. Most clients move up the ladder from there.
