QA Engineering Manager Overview We are seeking an experienced QA engineering leader to drive quality strategy, execution, and team leadership within an AI-first development organization. This is not a traditional QA management role — we are looking for a hands-on technical leader who can both architect modern quality systems and lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing QA engineering organization. This is a true “player/coach” role: part technical authority, part people leader. You will be responsible for defining and implementing an AI-first quality engineering strategy while also managing and developing a team of QA engineers and automation specialists. In our environment, AI is a first-class partner in software creation. The QA Staff/Lead Engineering Manager will define how quality is engineered into the product using automation, AI agents, scalable processes, and strong cross-functional collaboration with Product and Engineering. If you have deep QA automation expertise, experience leading technical teams, and are excited about redefining quality in an AI-native development lifecycle, we want to talk to you.
