Quality Engineering Manager – Atlanta (Remote)

Job Description

Quality Engineering Manager to lead our QA organization across a suite of accounting products.

This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for ensuring strong release readiness, scaling automation, and building modern QA practices that support predictable delivery and customer confidence. The team includes experienced manual testers embedded within scrum teams, as well as automation engineers working across products.

We are looking for a leader who combines operational execution, technical depth, and steady people leadership — someone who can strengthen quality practices while creating clarity, trust, and stability within a distributed team environment.

What Your Impact Will Be

Own QA execution and release readiness
Lead day-to-day QA delivery across multiple product teams, ensuring testing is well planned, visible, and aligned with sprint and release goals
Provide clear quality signals to Engineering and Product partners, supporting informed tradeoffs and predictable delivery
Maintain a strong pulse on testing progress and risk across teams through thoughtful engagement in key Agile ceremonies and targeted check-ins
Ensure effective defect triage, validation, and collaboration on high-priority production or customer-impacting issues
Scale automation and adopt modern QA tooling
Expand automated test coverage using modern frameworks (Playwright experience strongly preferred)
Support pragmatic adoption of AI-enabled QA tools and workflows over time, improving efficiency and effectiveness without unnecessary disruption
Partner with automation engineers to build scalable approaches that benefit all product teams
Help evolve QA practices beyond manual execution toward a balanced, sustainable quality strategy
Strengthen team capability, rigor, and flexibility
Lead, mentor, and develop a distributed QA team, fostering accountability, learning, and continuous improvement
Improve consistency in test planning and execution discipline, including lightweight processes that support repeatability and clarity
Build resilience across the QA organization by reducing single points of failure and encouraging broader product knowledge over time
Create an environment of trust and psychological safety, particularly during periods of transition and change

What We Are Looking For

5+ years of experience in software delivery, QA, or test engineering
2+ years of experience in QA leadership or people management
Hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks (Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, etc.)
Strong understanding of Agile delivery and embedded QA collaboration within scrum teams
Ability to introduce structure and rigor without creating bureaucracy
Experience using quality metrics as tools for visibility, learning, and accountability
Excellent communication and partnership skills across Engineering, Product, and Support
A calm, steady leadership style with strong ownership and follow-through
