Were reimagining what quality engineering means for a connected-home platform serving 36 million households and we need a leader whos obsessed with the customer experience behind every release. As Senior Manager Quality Engineering youll lead a small elite team of SDETs who build the tools agents and platforms that let 30 engineering squads own their own quality: writing their own test cases authoring their own BDDs running their own regression suites and continuously raising the bar. This isnt a traditional QA leadership role its a mandate to modernize automation across Mobile Web and APIs with an AI-first mindset replacing manual gatekeeping with intelligent self-service quality practices. If you believe great quality engineering is a force multiplier not a bottleneck this is your platform.
Job Responsibilities:
- Own the vision and roadmap for automation and quality engineering practice across Mobile Web and API surfaces with an AI-first approach to test generation execution and maintenance.
- Lead the design and delivery of internal tools agents and self-service applications that enable 30 squads to independently write test cases author BDD scenarios build automation and run their own regression testing.
- Champion a relentless focus on customer experience partnering with Product Platform and Engineering leaders to ensure quality signals reflect real-world usage not just pass/fail test counts.
- Modernize and refresh existing automation frameworks retiring brittle or manual approaches in favor of scalable AI-augmented testing patterns (e.g. self-healing tests generative test-case creation intelligent test selection).
- Define and drive adoption of quality engineering standards patterns and guardrails that squads can adopt without requiring central bottlenecks.
- Establish meaningful quality metrics (escaped defects coverage flake rate MTTR for test failures regression cycle time) and use them to drive continuous improvement across the organization.
- Evaluate and integrate emerging AI/agentic tooling for test authoring visual validation synthetic data generation and autonomous regression.
- Act as a hands-on technical leader staying close to the code architecture and tooling decisions your team makes not just the roadmap.
- Partner cross-functionally with Platform SRE Mobile and Cloud engineering leaders to embed quality earlier in the SDLC (shift-left) and reduce escaped defects in production.
- Represent Quality Engineering in architecture reviews planning ceremonies and executive reporting on release readiness and quality health.
- Foster a coaching culture within squads enable embedded engineers to build genuine automation and testing capability rather than depending on a central QE team. Support Engineering Managers in the evaluation and performance management expectations in a dotted line supervisory structure for Quality Engineering roles.
- Comply with health and safety guidelines and rules; managers should also ensure compliance across their teams.
- Protect Chamberlain Groups reputation by keeping information confidential.
- Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops reading professional publications establishing personal networks and participating in professional societies.
- Contribute to the team effort by accomplishing related results and participating on projects as needed.
Job Requirements:
- Bachelors Degree in Engineering Computer Science or related field
- 7 years in quality engineering test automation or SDET roles including 2 years leading or managing a technical team.
- Proven track record building automation frameworks across Web (e.g. Playwright Cypress Selenium) Mobile (Appium XCUITest Espresso) and API/contract testing (Postman/Newman REST Assured Pact).
- Hands-on experience applying AI/LLM concepts to quality engineering e.g. agentic test generation self-healing locators AI-assisted BDD authoring visual regression via computer vision or using LLM copilots (Claude Copilot Cursor) inside test pipelines.
Knowledge Skills and Abilities:
- Strong grasp of core QE fundamentals: risk-based test strategy BDD/Gherkin shift-left testing test data management flaky test triage and CI/CD-integrated regression.
- Experience designing self-service tooling or platforms that decentralize quality ownership to feature/product squads at scale (30 teams a strong plus).
- Familiarity with modern CI/CD and DevOps tooling (GitHub Actions Jenkins Azure DevOps) and observability/quality metrics platforms.
- Working knowledge of cloud-native and IoT/connected-device testing considerations a plus (device simulators firmware-in-the-loop network variability).
- Excellent communication skills able to translate quality strategy into a compelling narrative for both engineers and executive stakeholders.
