Job Title: QA Manager – Test Automation (Python/BDD) | Global MediaTech SaaS

Location: Bangalore (Hybrid)

Experience Required: 8 – 12 Years (Minimum 4+ years in a Leadership/Management role)

Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Client & The Prospect

We are exclusively partnering with a globally recognized, high-growth MediaTech and B2B SaaS platform. Our client powers secure, high-performance video streaming and digital content distribution for the world’s most prestigious entertainment studios. Their core product operates in a highly secure ecosystem where premium, unreleased media assets are delivered globally with absolute security, anti-piracy measures, and zero friction.

Operating out of their Bangalore R&D; center, the engineering team is looking for a hands-on QA Manager. This is not a maintenance or purely administrative role. We need a fiercely technical quality leader who can drive Python-based test automation, establish enterprise-grade release processes, and build a culture of absolute quality engineering in a fast-paced Agile environment.

What You Will Do (Key Responsibilities)

- End-to-End QA Strategy: Take complete ownership of the QA roadmap across manual, automation, regression, exploratory, API, performance, and release testing for both complex web platforms and mobile applications.

- Automation Leadership: Spearhead automation initiatives from the ground up. You will design, scale, and maintain robust automation frameworks utilizing Python, Selenium, and BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) to improve execution efficiency and long-term codebase maintainability.

- Team Mentorship & Capacity Planning: Manage, mentor, and scale a high-performing QA team. A core part of your role will be enabling manual QA engineers to upskill, transition, and actively contribute to automation efforts through structured coaching.

- Release Management & Gatekeeping:



Act as the ultimate quality gatekeeper. You will drive release validation, minimize production defect leakage, and conduct rigorous Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for any production incidents.

- Process & Pipeline Integration: Partner closely with Engineering and Product leadership to drive quality directly into the software development lifecycle (SDLC). You will ensure seamless integration of automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Git.

- Metrics & Reporting: Define, track, and report on key quality metrics, including defect trends, automation coverage, and overall release readiness to executive stakeholders.

The Tech Stack & Ideal Candidate Profile

- Experience: 8 to 12 years of overall Software Quality Assurance experience, strictly within fast-paced Product companies or B2B SaaS environments.

- Leadership: 4+ years of proven experience directly managing, hiring, and mentoring QA teams, handling capacity planning, and managing performance.

- Hands-on Automation: Deep, hands-on coding expertise in building test automation frameworks from scratch using Python and Selenium (incorporating BDD frameworks like Pytest or Behave).

- API & Mobile Testing: Strong command over API testing methodologies (Postman/REST Assured) and Mobile automation (Appium).

- Process Rigor: Advanced proficiency in Agile/Scrum methodologies, JIRA customization, issue tracking, and version control (Git).

- Bonus/Differentiators: Direct exposure to performance testing (JMeter), and a solid foundational understanding of high-security compliance frameworks (ISO-27001, SOC-2) or penetration testing.

Why Join?

This role offers the autonomy to shape the automation culture of a flagship product trusted by the biggest names in Hollywood and global entertainment. You will have the freedom to evaluate AI-enabled testing approaches and lead high-velocity daily releases from a state-of-the-art Bangalore hub.
