Jorge Leite — Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience building scalable web applications, improving engineering practices, and mentoring teams. I’ve delivered mission-critical systems in cybersecurity, communications, finance, retail, and real estate. I bring a strong mix of hands-on coding and technical leadership—having built platforms using React, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, and AWS, while driving architecture decisions, testing strategies (Jest, Playwright), and agile delivery practices. I’m passionate about developer experience, clean code, and using automation to reduce manual effort and accelerate value delivery. My recent work at SecurityScorecard includes developing large-scale features for the Attack Surface Intelligence, Questionnaires, and Assessments modules—empowering security analysts through data, automation, and intuitive UX. I also led the adoption of Playwright-based E2E test automation as a team-wide standard. Beyond development, I’ve served as an Agile Leader supporting squads with Scrum/XP practices, mentoring engineers, and presenting delivery results to C-level stakeholders. 🚀 I thrive in remote, collaborative environments and love solving complex problems that create real impact.

Questionnaires and Assessments
Played a key role in the development and continuous evolution of the Questionnaires and Assessments modules—two core components of SecurityScorecard’s platform that streamline third-party risk management and automate vendor security assessments.
Led the development of a time-optimization solution for clients by integrating data across multiple platform features. Built with React (Redux, Context API, React Query), Styled Components, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Python—reducing manual workflows from hours to seconds and improving customer satisfaction.
Improved system reliability by boosting unit and end-to-end test coverage. Designed robust test strategies using Jest, React Testing Library, and Playwright (POM, fixtures, setup/teardown), reducing bugs in production and accelerating QA cycles.
Led a cross-functional team in an internal hackathon to build an AI-powered proof of concept that auto-filled questionnaires from user-uploaded files. The initiative validated a key upsell opportunity, unlocking revenue potential from new product modules.
Spearheaded the standardization of Playwright testing in the team, transforming an early-stage PoC into a scalable test framework. Established best practices (POM, fixtures, lifecycle hooks), which became the foundation for future automation efforts.
