This is a functional leadership role, not primarily an individual-contributor automation position. You will inherit an established QA team with manual, automation, API and performance-testing capabilities and develop a coherent quality strategy, operating model and measurable standards that reduce defects reaching customers.\nThe role requires someone who has done this before: establishing risk-based testing, strengthening automation and release controls, developing engineers, and working constructively with Product, Engineering and DevOps to prevent recurring production failures.\nWhat you will own\nQuality strategy and operating model\nDefine and maintain a risk-based quality engineering strategy covering web, mobile, APIs, integrations and business-critical customer journeys.\nTranslate product requirements, customer risks and business objectives into test approaches, coverage priorities, acceptance evidence and quality goals.\nEstablish practical test-planning standards, test-case design and traceability, defect workflows, SOPs, quality gates and clear escalation paths.\nTest architecture and technical leadership\nOwn the direction and effectiveness of functional, exploratory, API, integration, end-to-end, regression and performance testing.\nAssess and improve automation frameworks, test data, environments and CI/CD integration; review technical design and code, and troubleshoot or contribute hands-on when necessary.\nPrioritize high-risk failure scenarios including pricing and availability changes, third-party API failures, timeouts, retries, asynchronous events, payment states and booking consistency.\nGuide coverage across Angular web, Android and iOS applications and Node.js/TypeScript backend services; select tools based on maintainability and value, not tool familiarity alone.\nRelease quality and production learning\nEstablish evidence-based release readiness, critical-path regression criteria, defect disposition and QA risk recommendations, with documented exceptions and accountable release decisions.\nAnalyze serious, escaped defects and repeat failures; lead the QA contribution to root cause analysis and ensure prevention actions feed back into development and testing.\nPartner with Engineering and DevOps on environment parity, observability, performance bottlenecks, testability and production verification.\nPeople and cross-functional leadership\nAssess the existing QA team, clarify responsibilities, coach engineers, manage performance and recommend targeted capability development or hiring.\nEmbed QA early in discovery, requirements refinement, architecture discussions and sprint planning; establish shared quality responsibilities with Product and Engineering.\nOwn a concise quality scorecard, credible baselines, improvement priorities and regular evidence-based reporting to engineering leadership.\nWhat we are looking for\nEssential\nProven experience leading a QA or Quality Engineering function for a live software product, including demonstrable improvements in production quality or release reliability.\nStrong practical grounding in automation architecture and implementation, API and integration testing, regression design, and testing of distributed or asynchronous systems.\nExperience with consumer-facing, transaction-heavy products such as e-commerce, marketplaces, fintech or travel technology.\nAbility to design quality controls that teams actually use, with clear ownership, pragmatic risk decisions and measurable outcomes.\nStrong people leadership and communication skills; confidence to challenge assumptions and collaborate across Product, Engineering and DevOps.\nExperience integrating test suites into CI/CD and evaluating test reliability, coverage and maintenance costs.\nRelevant technologies and useful experience\nExperience with Playwright or Selenium, Appium, REST API testing frameworks, JMeter or k6, GitLab CI/CD and cloud-hosted microservices is valuable. Familiarity with payment flows, webhooks, third-party supplier APIs, idempotency, concurrency, performance profiling and production telemetry is particularly relevant. Equivalent tools and architectures are acceptable where the underlying technical judgment is strong.\nAI-assisted test generation and analysis may be used where useful, provided outputs are reviewed for correctness, coverage and maintainability.\nWhat success looks like\nFirst 30 days: establish an evidence-based baseline of defect escapes, test effectiveness, environments, team capabilities and release controls; agree a prioritized improvement plan.\nBy 90 days: operate risk-based test planning, critical-path regression, release evidence and serious-defect RCA; show tangible improvements in automation reliability and high-risk coverage.\nBy six months: demonstrate sustained progress in escaped-defect trends, repeat defects, release predictability and team independence, using agreed baselines and shared engineering ownership.\nDecision rights and collaboration\nThe role owns QA standards, testing strategy, QA team performance and quality-risk recommendations. Engineering remains accountable for code quality and technical release decisions; Product owns requirement clarity and acceptance; DevOps owns deployment and infrastructure controls. The QA Manager may withhold QA sign-off against agreed criteria and escalate risks, while final release authority and exception approval are defined by the organization.\nThis role is expected to lead and technically guide specialist work, not personally execute every test. Security assessments and other niche testing may be coordinated with internal owners or external specialists.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5792,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-11T06:58:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T07:59:01Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/invisia-senior-quality-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/invisia-senior-quality-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T07:59:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12452,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4470954},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4470954"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Finvisia-senior-quality-engineering-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Finvisia-senior-quality-engineering-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Finvisia-senior-quality-engineering-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/invisia-senior-quality-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Finvisia-senior-quality-engineering-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4058691}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"invisia.us","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4058691},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
