About the Role
We are looking for a QA Manager (Python + Selenium ONLY) to own the QA function across Arcitech’s product portfolio. This is the senior-most QA seat in the organization. You will set QA strategy across products, manage a team of 8 - 12 QA engineers (including the QA Lead who owns hands-on senior QA beneath you), run QA across 7 - 8 concurrent projects, and be the QA counterpart to product and engineering leadership. Reporting directly to the CEO, you are accountable for the release-readiness of everything Arcitech ships.
This is a management role, not primarily a hands-on IC role. You are the strategist, the reviewer, and the leader of the function. Hands-on senior QA designing frameworks, running performance tests, writing critical automation sits with the QA Lead beneath you; your job is to set direction, hold the bar, grow the team, and represent QA at the leadership table. That said, on the hardest technical problems and the highest-risk releases, you will still be hands-on particularly on recent-product launches and cross-product testing initiatives.
Prior experience running QA at a SaaS / IT product company is non-negotiable. Prior experience genuinely managing a QA team of 8+ is non-negotiable. This is a role for someone who has already done this work before, not someone stepping up into it for the first time.
You will report directly to the CEO.
