Brief Overview 

The Senior Manager, QA Engineering is a Quality Engineering leader responsible for developing people, advancing engineering quality practices, and driving scalable quality capabilities across the organization. This leader owns the strategy, roadmap, and outcomes of the QA Tools practice, including automation frameworks, CI/CD quality enablement, and quality insights, while leading and developing Quality Engineers supporting product teams. 

Through strong technical leadership, data-driven decision making, and cross-functional partnership, this role helps build shared ownership of quality and enables teams to deliver reliable, high-quality experiences for our customers. 

You are a strategic, proactive leader who creates clarity from ambiguity and takes ownership of outcomes. You understand technology deeply enough to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and guide experienced engineers without needing to be the person writing the code. 

You build strong relationships and know how to garner buy-in without requiring consensus. You communicate the “why,” listen to different perspectives, make thoughtful trade-offs, and move teams toward clear decisions. 

You are pragmatic and adaptable. You favor simple, scalable, and standardized solutions over unnecessary complexity while recognizing where innovation, including AI, can meaningfully improve how teams work.

• Provide technical leadership across automation, CI/CD, and AI-enabled engineering by setting direction, evaluating approaches, challenging assumptions, and guiding experienced technical engineers without being the primary hands-on implementer.
• Evolve quality metrics and reporting to provide actionable insights, connect quality practices to key outcomes, identify risk, and enable data-driven decisions.
• Build trusted relationships across Engineering, Product, and QA leadership; engage stakeholders early, communicate the “why,” and build buy-in for quality practices and organizational change.
• Partner with QA leadership to define and evolve Quality Engineering standards, driving adoption and measurable outcomes across Engineering teams.
• Develop a strong working understanding of the product, customer workflows, and team ownership to effectively lead team members, identify quality risks, and reinforce shared ownership of quality.
• Translate organizational direction into clear priorities and trade-offs, independently managing execution, risks, dependencies, and change while favoring pragmatic, scalable solutions and adapting as needs evolve.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; advanced degree preferred. 
• Proven track record of leading, developing, and empowering Quality Engineering or software engineering teams, including experienced technical contributors. 
• Strong foundation in modern Quality Engineering, including test automation best practices, CI/CD pipelines, automated quality gates, and scalable testing approaches. 
• Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex, cross-team initiatives from strategy through adoption and measurable outcomes. 
• Strategic and data-driven problem solver who can establish priorities, navigate ambiguity, evaluate outcomes, and adapt direction when needed.
