Product QA Specialist responsible for quality assurance of wattpad's webnovel platform. Collaborating with teams to ensure product features meet quality standards.
About the role
- QA Engineering Manager at SpryPoint leading the establishment of an automation function. Focusing on developing testing strategies and tools for a cloud-native utility software company.
Responsibilities
- Define and own the quality engineering strategy and roadmap across our products.
- Stay hands-on: personally write automated tests, build framework components, and review code alongside the team (roughly half your time).
- Select the test automation tooling and framework, and set the standards squads build on.
- Integrate automated testing into our CI/CD pipelines and partner with DevOps on stable, repeatable deployments.
- Define quality gates: what blocks a merge and what blocks a release, aligned with engineering leadership and risk.
- Drive a risk-based approach to testing so effort goes where it protects clients most.
- Push tests down the stack (API before UI), drive down the flaky-test rate, and enable squads so the practice doesn't depend on any one person.
- Hire, coach, and grow a team of automation engineers, and raise testing discipline across product squads.
- Own quality metrics and a dashboard that leadership trusts, providing objective signals for go/no-go release decisions.
- Evaluate and adopt AI-assisted testing tools (test generation, self-healing tests, defect triage, agentic testing) through a practical, hybrid model, while keeping a human-in-the-loop standard so AI-generated tests and code are reviewed, not trusted blindly.
Requirements
- 7+ years in software quality or engineering, including 3+ years leading and growing engineers.
- A track record of building or significantly maturing a test automation practice.
- Current, hands-on coding ability: you can build framework components and write automated tests yourself, and you want to keep doing so in this role.
- Strong technical judgement on automation frameworks, CI/CD, and test architecture, backed by recent hands-on experience.
- Fluency with modern automation tooling (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
- Experience defining quality metrics and using them to influence release decisions.
- Clear communicator who can translate quality risk into terms leadership and product can act on.
- Hands-on understanding of how AI is changing testing, with sound judgement on where it helps and where it doesn't. Experience evaluating or adopting AI-assisted QA tooling or a credible plan for doing so.
- Familiarity with testing AI or LLM features (evaluation harnesses, golden datasets, guardrails, bias and accuracy checks), or the ability to get there quickly.
Benefits
- Remote-first environment, flexible working hours across North America, and hub offices in Charlottetown & Atlanta
- Comprehensive compensation package that grows with you
- MacBook + $800 to create your ideal home workspace
- Health, dental, vision, and life insurance from day one
- Generous PTO and unlimited sick days
- RRSP (Canada) and 401k (US) matching programs
- $2,500 annual development fund, tuition assistance, and Book Bounty program
- Annual company events and team offsites that bring us together
