Qualification

As a Test Automation Manager we typically work hand in hand with our clients to develop new Quality Engineering strategies or improve their existing processes. To do this, we need experienced, capable Quality Engineers who can both deploy their own mastery to get things done hands on and successfully lead others in doing so. The nature of our work varies from client to client so there will be lots of opportunities to experience new domains and new stacks.

Our team is dedicated to applying great engineering to get great outcomes. Our engineers stand out by keeping one eye on value at all times, and by proposing thoughtful solutions that get the job done efficiently and with low complexity. You'd be a key advocate for this approach within a team.

Beyond client work, our engineers are essential contributors to our internal and regional Quality Engineering communities. There are many opportunities to get involved and help shape conversations around topics you're interested in, share your knowledge and experience, and learn from colleagues working in very diverse problem spaces.

We are looking for experience in the following skills:

• You have many years experience leading a team and growing the careers of team members
• You've spent several years defining and implementing modern Quality Engineering concepts including automated testing
• You are still actively testing and writing code; the role will require this in addition to your role defining strategy and influencing
• You're comfortable working in at least one object oriented programming language (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, etc.)
• You have hands on experience with GenAI (e.g. Playwright with MCP). Experience with AI assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude) is required; knowledge of LangChain or LangGraph, and cloud environments is a plus
• You are familiar with testing within cloud environments such as AWS, Azure
• You love working with people to build things and solve problems together in an egoless way, regardless of their level of experience or your role in the team
• You're comfortable with change and always happy to learn something new; as consultants we flex our individual roles and tech stacks as required to get the best outcomes for our clients
