About the Role
This is an Engineering Manager role on our Quality Engineering team. You will be embedded directly alongside a group of product development teams, owning quality outcomes for that entire surface area.
You will lead a team of QA engineers — a unified team where manual testing and automation are not separate functions. Your engineers each own their dev pod end-to-end: test strategy, automation coverage, shift-left practices, and quality sign-off.
You report to the Director of Engineering and work as a peer with dev EMs, product managers, and engineering leadership — not as a downstream function.
The most important thing about this role: AI tooling has fundamentally changed what a QA team can do. We expect this EM to be running agentic QA workflows themselves, not managing from a distance. If you haven't built agent pipelines using Claude Code, Kiro, or Codex, this role will be a stretch.
What You'll Own
Your Team
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of QA engineers across different levels
Each engineer on your team is the single QA owner for one or more dev pods — you give them the structure, context, and support to operate with real ownership
- Drive career development: help engineers grow their automation depth, agentic tooling fluency, and — over time — product code contributions
- Hire well; raise the bar for your team and contribute to engineering-wide hiring
Quality Strategy
- Own the quality strategy for ArmorCode — what gets tested, at what layer, by whom, and at what point in the cycle
- Ensure every pod has shift-left practices, automation coverage, and clear quality gates as part of the definition of done
- Surface quality risks proactively to Development teams and PMs — before code ships, not after
- Own the metrics: defect leakage, escaped defects, automation coverage, regression stability etc
Dev Partnership
- Own QA planning for your development teams — define scope, effort, and timelines based on QA complexity and team capacity
- Review design docs and RFCs for quality and testability implications before implementation begins
- Partner with dev leads: quality gates and automation are built into how the team works, not added at the end
- Represent quality in cross-functional conversations with PM, DevOps, and CS
Agentic QA Engineering
We're past AI-assisted testing. The expectation for this role is agentic QA workflows — where AI agents handle test generation, execution triage, regression validation, and failure classification autonomously. Your job is to architect those workflows, not prompt an LLM manually for each test case.
- Build and operate agentic pipelines using Claude Code, Kiro, or Codex that generate, validate, and maintain test suites with minimal human intervention
- Design workflows where agents triage CI failures, classify defects, and surface only what needs human judgment
- Own the eval layer: define how you know the agent's output is correct, and set the guardrails
- Push the team from "we use AI to write tests faster" to "our test suite largely writes and heals itself"
- Stay ahead of where agentic testing is going — this space is moving fast and you're expected to bring that thinking into the org, not follow it
Automation & Execution
- Your team owns both manual and automation — no handoffs between silos
- Own QA delivery: test plans, sprint readiness, release sign-off, RCA sessions
- Manage capacity, flag risks early, and ensure your dev partners have a predictable, reliable quality function
Who you are
Must Have
- 3–5+ years managing QA or Quality Engineering teams in a fast-moving (daily/weekly/bi-weekly releases) SaaS product startup with an overall experience of 10-15 years.
- Hands-on experience building agentic workflows — not just using AI coding assistants, but designing multi-step agent pipelines that operate with real autonomy. You've built or run workflows using Claude Code, Kiro, Codex, or equivalent where the agent is doing the work, not just suggesting it
- Coding ability — you can read, write, and reason about code. You can prototype a solution, review a PR, and have a real technical conversation about architecture without needing it translated
- Experience managing a team where manual and automation are not separate silos
- Strong dev-partnership instincts — you work with engineering, not after it
- Track record of shift-left: quality as part of development, not a downstream handoff
- Comfort with ambiguity — you can take a fuzzy quality goal and turn it into a plan
Strong Plus
- Experience building agentic QA workflows — self-healing tests, AI-generated regression suites, automated triage pipelines using Claude Code, Kiro, or Codex
- Background in AppSec or security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, integrations) — you'll be partnering with complex, integration-heavy dev pods
- Experience building or evaluating AI features yourself — understanding of prompting, output validation, hallucination risks, and eval harnesses
- Experience in a pod or squad model with embedded QA
Tech Stack Context
The team works across Java/Spring, React, MongoDB/Postgres, Kafka, REST APIs, UI and API test automation frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines. You need enough fluency to have credible technical conversations with your team — and to use agentic tooling effectively against a real codebase.
