Manager, Quality Assurance
The Role:
The Manager, Quality Assurance will join our Engineering team as we expand the footprint of AlertMedia products and services and rapidly scale up the number of customers we serve. This role is critical to our success, driving the QA strategy and vision while working alongside the team to extend the test automation infrastructure. The Manager, QA is a thought leader and will share best practices with the QA team and will be responsible for career growth and mentoring of QA engineers.
Who you are:
QA is in your blood. You’ve been at it for long enough that you have well-formed ideas about how to balance manual, regression, and load testing to get a solid quality result. You know there’s never enough time to test everything, but have experience working together with developers to craft test plans that complement the unit and integration testing written by engineers. While you’ve held leadership positions, you still love getting your hands dirty and always have a test automation project you’re working on the side. You thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment working cross-functionally with other Engineers, Product Managers and Leadership. You know that you can't test quality into a product after its built; quality must be built in from the beginning. Above all, you get great satisfaction from working together with a team to have a direct impact on our customers' success.
