# SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) Manager

It's a new day with a new opportunity at 8am! About the role: 8am is hiring an SDET Manager to lead our Software Development Engineers in Test. Our SDETs are software engineers first, and their product is the automation that validates our products: the framework, the test suites, and the CI/CD quality gates that decide what ships. You'll run the team the way a strong engineering manager runs any product development team, with a backlog, a technical roadmap, code review, design standards, and a solid deployment practice. You'll report to the Director of Quality Engineering (USA) and work directly with our US-based and Czechia-based QE Managers as peers, settling QE and SDET priorities between you. Their Quality Engineers own test strategy, test case design, and customer advocacy in their teams. You'll also partner with our SDET Architect, who reports to the Director of Quality Engineering, on automation approach. Your team includes full-time Core and embedded SDETs across Czechia and the US, plus contract SDETs as the work requires, covering our payments and practice management products. Automation is software and carries the full cost of software, so you'll aim the team's time at
