About the Role
We are expanding our testing team and looking for a Quality Assurance / Test Engineering Manager to drive a test automation-first strategy while maintaining high-quality standards. With two talented test engineers already in place, this role will focus on establishing processes, defining automation frameworks, and embedding quality into the development lifecycle.
As a leader, you'll work closely with developers, DevOps teams, and Agile squads to ensure our software meets acceptance criteria and best-in-class quality. If you love building test automation frameworks, guiding engineers, and collaborating in a SAFe and DevOps environment, this is your chance to make a big impact.
Key Responsibilities
Define, refine, and implement testing methodologies that promote automation, efficiency, and scalability.
Set standards and processes by which all test engineers will work.
Oversee and mentor two test engineers who are already excelling in their roles.
Drive the transition from manual to automated testing using RAINtest and other tools to ensure acceptance criteria are met.
Develop and execute test automation strategies, including writing test suites, scripts, and automated test cases.
Collaborate with Agile development teams to validate each user story through rigorous testing.
Work within the Microsoft DevOps stack-repos are fully managed within this ecosystem, so familiarity with MS DevOps is a plus.
Ensure test integration within CI/CD pipelines and DevOps frameworks.
Partner with stakeholders, including Tammy and Doug, to determine the best test frameworks (though the specific toolset is flexible).
Lead testing efforts across both internal platforms and external-facing portals.
Provide hands-on testing when needed, but primarily focus on leadership, strategy, and automation.
Promote a quality-driven mindset within Agile and DevOps environments.
Qualifications

Management/leadership experience, particularly in QA/test engineering teams.
Hands-on expertise in automated testing tools and frameworks
Strong understanding of DevOps and CI/CD frameworks.
Familiarity with Microsoft DevOps stack for managing repositories, pipelines, and deployments.
Background in SAFe Agile environments with experience supporting automated and manual testing.
D365 (Dynamics 365) experience is highly preferred, but familiarity with other CRM-based applications is also acceptable.
Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with developers, product teams, and business stakeholders.
