About the role

  • QA Engineering Manager position for utility tech company focusing on building and leading a dedicated QA automation function. Hands-on role requiring strong leadership and technical skills.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build the test automation framework and the standards other engineers will follow.
  • Write and maintain automated tests across the stack: API, integration, and end-to-end UI.
  • Prioritize automation by risk and value, favoring fast, reliable API-level tests over brittle UI tests where possible.
  • Integrate tests into CI/CD so they run automatically on every change and give fast feedback.
  • Drive down flakiness and keep the suite trustworthy, so failures mean something.
  • Evaluate and apply AI-assisted testing tools (test generation, self-healing tests, failure triage), and use AI and prompt engineering to accelerate test creation and edge-case discovery.
  • Review AI-generated tests and code with a critical eye (you are the human-in-the-loop, not a rubber stamp).
  • Mentor other engineers on automation practices and help raise testing quality across squads

Requirements

  • Strong coding skills in at least one of: Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript.

  • Solid API testing experience (Postman, REST Assured, or similar) and comfort with SQL and database validation.
  • Hands-on experience integrating tests into CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
  • Working knowledge of cloud (AWS) and containers (Docker).
  • A pragmatic, risk-based mindset and the judgement to know what's worth automating.
  • Experience using AI coding assistants or AI test-generation tools in real work (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar), with a clear view of their strengths and limits.
  • Comfort writing effective prompts to generate test ideas, edge cases, and to analyze failures.

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
