Quality Engineering Manager

Role Overview

Quality Engineering Manager to lead a distributed team of Quality Engineers embedded in Agile squads. Own quality engineering practice and outcomes against defined targets, partnering across teams to advance automation and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage Quality Engineers embedded in Agile squads (careers, practice, and resource allocation).
• Own the Quality Engineering practice across squads: enforce release readiness standards and drive continuous improvement.
• Partner cross-functionally to identify critical automation paths and turn them into quality gates aligned with customer needs.

Profile / Requirements

• Active view of AI in QE: evaluate/adopt AI to accelerate QA work; ensure the team reviews AI output before shipping; help teams extract more value from AI tools over time.
• Strong QE technical depth and breadth: credible engagement with engineering peers on test strategy, critical automation paths, and tooling decisions; mentor ICs on:
  • test design
  • debugging flaky tests
  • decomposing features for coverage
  • reviewing automation critically
• Proven experience using AI tools/technologies to improve workflows and decision-making.
• 3+ years managing a quality-focused engineering team with results reducing defect leakage (or equivalent quality metrics) and sustaining improvements.
• QE mindset: define what good looks like, own squad-level quality outcomes, and partner with tooling/automation to keep automation reliable and well-maintained with zero tolerance for flaky tests.
• Strong judgment in ambiguity and clear communication: surface risks and quality signals early with a proposed path; present quality metrics and trade-offs to senior leadership.

Nice-to-Haves

• None explicitly stated beyond the AI-in-QE and automation-quality-gates focus.
