Supportability (Quality Assurance) Manager

Our requirements

• Management Experience: 3+ years of experience leading, mentoring, and scaling high-performing QA or software testing teams.
• Strong Automation Background: A proven hands-on technical background in automated testing for Web (e.g., Playwright, Cypress) or Android (e.g., Espresso, Appium, Kotlin automation). Having experience in both is a massive plus.
• UX and Experience Advocate: You don't just test functionality; you test usability. You have empathy for the end-user (the server, the chef, the diner) and have experience setting up visual regression, performance budget testing, and perceived latency benchmarks.
• Lab & Device Infrastructure Knowledge: Experience managing device testing matrices, cloud device farms or emulators, and physical test environments containing connected POS hardware.
• The "Shared-Quality" Mindset: A strong track record of teaching, influencing, and persuading developers to take ownership of test automation. You know how to make automated testing a low-friction process for all engineers.
• AI & Velocity Booster: Experience or clear, practical strategies for utilizing AI tools to accelerate automated test authoring, visual UI validation, or test maintenance.
• Pragmatic Problem Solver: You have the "Figure it Out" gene. You prefer end-user outcomes and business impact over technical purity.
• Excellent Communicator: Fluent in English (written and verbal), with the ability to articulate quality-related challenges, environmental edge cases, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Optional

• Familiarity with our current stack: React (TypeScript), Python (Django), Go, Kotlin, PostgreSQL, Docker, GitHub Actions.
• Domain experience in Fintech, Merchant Services, Point of Sale, or SaaS hospitality platforms.

Your responsibilities

• Drive the "Shift-Left" Quality Culture: Work closely with Engineering Managers to embed quality early in the development lifecycle. Foster a shared-ownership model in which writing automated tests is a standard practice for all software engineers.
• Lead and Coach: Manage, mentor, and grow a team of Confidence (QA) Engineers. Conduct 1:1s, support career progression, and foster a healthy, continuous-learning team dynamic.
• Own the Automation Strategy: Design and continuously refine our Automation Testing (AT) platforms and frameworks for Web and Android environments.
• Manage the Device Testing Lab: Oversee the infrastructure for automated testing on physical Android stations, handhelds, and peripherals, combining emulator tests.
• Leverage Modern AI Tools: Champion the integration of generative AI and LLM-assisted tools (e.g., Claude, automated test generation, visual regression analysis, AI-driven self-healing test scripts) to dramatically speed up the creation and maintenance of automated tests.
• Maintain the Testing Platform: Work closely with DevOps and Platform teams to build and maintain ultra-fast, reliable CI/CD pipelines (e.g., via GitHub Actions) that the engineering organization fully trusts.
• Define Quality Metrics: Track and expose actionable quality KPIs (such as user-perceived performance, test coverage, execution speed, flaky test rates, and defect leakage) to drive data-informed improvements.
