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
5+ years in software test automation or software engineering with a strong testing focus.
Strong coding skills in at least one of: Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript.
Deep experience with a modern automation framework (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium) including building or owning a framework, not just writing tests inside one.
Solid API testing experience (Postman, REST Assured, or similar) and comfort with SQL and database validation.
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.
