The Chance

We're not looking for a test manager. We're looking for a quality engineer who leads—someone who treats testing as a data science problem, not a checklist. You'll own quality across a modern .NET/Angular/SQL SaaS running on Azure, evolve our Playwright-based automation, and embed AI agents to make testing smarter, faster, and self-healing. You'll manage a blended team of automation and manual engineers—and stay hands-on enough to debug pipelines, review code, and unblock your team.

Salary: $6,000 - $7,000 USD per month

What You'll Own

Strategy & Forward-Looking Roadmap
- Define a 12–18 month quality roadmap that balances speed, coverage, and cost
- AI-assisted workflows—test generation from production logs, flaky-test auto-quarantine, visual AI diffing, and predictive risk-based test selection
- Shift quality left (design/PR reviews) and right (production observability, canary monitoring)
- Establish quality SLOs (flakiness 5%, suite runtime 15 min, escape rate 2%)

Hands-On Technical Leadership




- Architect test frameworks that scale across microservices and Angular frontends
- Design SQL test data strategies—synthetic data, anonymized production clones, and on-demand seed scripts
- Optimize CI/CD quality gates in Azure DevOps with intelligent parallelization
- Leverage Azure services for test infrastructure—containerized test runners, scale sets, and cloud-hosted agent pools

Team & Delivery Optimization
- Manage and mentor 5–10 engineers (mix of automation SDETs and manual testers)
- Upskill manual engineers into automation engineers within 6–9 months via pair-coding and structured learning
- Implement RCA (Root Cause Analysis) discipline—blameless postmortems that drive systemic fixes, not band-aids
- Optimize for maximum delivery velocity—know when to cut, defer, or automate tests based on risk and ROI

Metrics & Continuous Improvement
- Define and track: defect escape rate, MTTR, flakiness %, test pass rate per build, and pipeline reliabilit
