Senior Manager, QA Engineering

This is a senior engineering leadership opportunity focused on defining and scaling quality across a complex enterprise software platform. You’ll own the end-to-end QA strategy, establish quality gates, and use meaningful metrics to influence release and roadmap decisions. The role combines strategic leadership with enough technical depth to remain connected to hands-on quality engineering. You’ll lead multiple QA teams and evolve their structure as the organization scales. The position also requires close collaboration across engineering, product, UX, documentation, and field teams to establish shared quality standards. You’ll work in a global, remote environment with a strong focus on reliability, performance, automation, and continuous improvement.

• Proven experience leading QA or quality engineering functions within engineering organizations of approximately 100–500 employees, with demonstrable organizational and quality impact.

• Strong experience defining and implementing end-to-end QA strategies, quality gates, testing standards, and data-informed quality decision-making across multiple teams.

• Demonstrated leadership experience managing managers, senior technical specialists, principal-level engineers, and individual contributors.

• Experience scaling QA organizations and developing structures, processes, and operating models that support business and engineering growth.

• Strong technical understanding of complex enterprise software products, including functional testing, automation, reliability, performance, resilience, and high-load testing.

• Experience covering multiple product personas, including developers, business users, and technical administrators or operators.

• Ability to work across Kubernetes, cloud, microservices, and related operational environments.

• Strong understanding of automation and CI/CD-integrated testing practices; experience with tools such as Playwright or TestRail is advantageous.

• Experience with chaos engineering, advanced reliability testing, or performance benchmarking is a plus.

• Ability to influence engineering, product, UX, documentation, and customer-facing teams around shared quality objectives.

• Strong communication, stakeholder management, strategic thinking, and organizational leadership skills.

• Comfortable balancing long-term QA strategy with practical involvement in technical execution.

• Experience in enterprise software, workflow automation, or similarly complex technical products is highly relevant.

• Ability and willingness to use the product as part of the role.
