Quality Engineering Manager

We are looking for a Quality Engineering Manager to directly manage a team of 5–8 quality engineers, own our test automation strategy, and embed quality into the full development lifecycle.

  • Incorporate AI tools into test automation workflows, including AI‑assisted test generation, self‑healing frameworks, and intelligent test selection.
  • Adopt emerging AI/ML testing tools to improve coverage and reduce manual effort.
• CI/CD Integration
  • Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure Dev Ops, Git Hub Actions, Jenkins).
  • Define and enforce quality gates within deployment pipelines.
  • Monitor pipeline health, test flakiness, and execution times; drive improvements continuously.
• Testing & Defect Management
  • Act as an individual contributor: pick up testing tickets, add automated tests, review pull requests, conduct regression and exploratory testing.
  • Set and enforce standards for exploratory, functional, and regression testing across the team.
  • Oversee root‑cause analysis on defects; ensure clear, consistent bug reporting practices.
  • Work with engineers and support teams to triage, prioritize, and drive resolution of defects.
• People Management
  • Directly manage 5–8 quality engineers, including hiring, onboarding, performance management, and compensation input.
  • Set and communicate team and individual objectives and KPIs; hold the team accountable.
  • Conduct structured performance reviews and provide timely, constructive feedback.
  • Recognize and retain high performers; actively manage team health and morale.

• Required Qualifications

  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Practical experience using AI tools in test automation workflows.
  • Proven track record of conducting performance reviews, making compensation recommendations, and managing full employee lifecycle.
