Full-time

Heritage Auctions is seeking a hands‑on Manager, Quality Engineering to help establish and lead a modern, AI‑centric quality approach across the organization. This is a working manager role for a candidate who can both define strategy and execute directly. The person in this role will help build a scalable Quality Engineering function that improves consistency, strengthens release confidence, and brings a more intelligent, risk‑based approach to testing across systems and workflows.

This leader will use modern tools and AI‑enabled methods to accelerate test design, expand coverage, improve defect detection, and support better release decisions, while applying sound judgment around business risk and user impact. This role is not intended to replace existing testing ownership within individual teams. Instead, it provides hands‑on leadership in areas where formal Quality Engineering coverage is limited, while establishing shared standards, improving release confidence, and driving a more consistent approach to quality across systems and workflows.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to build. The right candidate will help shape the operating model, introduce practical and scalable approaches to quality, and lay the foundation for future growth of the Quality Engineering function at Heritage Auctions.

Commensurate with experience

• Lead the development of a modern Quality Engineering approach that emphasizes AI‑assisted testing and analysis, risk‑based quality practices, repeatable quality standards across teams and systems, and scalable processes that improve quality without unnecessarily slowing delivery.
• Serve as a working manager by personally contributing to functional testing for enterprise applications, internal systems, APIs, integrations, and cross‑system workflows; test strategy, test planning, exploratory testing, and quality analysis; defect triage, documentation, prioritization, and root‑cause analysis; and early identification of functional risk, workflow gaps, and release concerns.
• Help define and implement an AI‑centric quality model, including using AI tools to accelerate test case generation, regression design, exploratory coverage, and quality analysis; evaluating where AI meaningfully improves speed, coverage, and insight; establishing practical standards for reviewing and validating AI‑assisted testing outputs; and advancing quality practices for data‑driven and AI‑enabled workflows, including behavioral regression, variability testing, and workflow consistency.
• Establish quality standards and release readiness practices by creating consistent functional testing expectations across systems and teams, identifying coverage gaps, ownership gaps, and recurring quality risks, supporting more structured and predictable release readiness processes, and helping create practical quality metrics, scorecards, or reporting that improve visibility and accountability.
• Partner closely with developers, product owners, and business stakeholders to clarify requirements and acceptance criteria, surface quality concerns earlier in the software development life cycle, improve coordination around testing and release readiness, and support User Acceptance Testing by organizing test cases, validating readiness, and…
