Sr. Quality Assurance Manager

About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a market-leading healthcare technology platform that powers mission-critical infrastructure for tens of thousands of providers, payers, and partners across North America. Their platform sits at the intersection of healthcare, fintech, and large-scale data exchange—processing massive transaction volumes with real-world financial and patient impact.

They’re investing heavily in modernizing their engineering platform—and quality engineering is at the center of that transformation.

This is a rare opportunity to define QA strategy at scale, modernize automation across legacy and modern systems, and lead a team through a major platform evolution.

The Role: Senior Quality Assurance Manager

As the Senior QA Manager, you’ll be both a technical leader and a hands-on quality engineer, responsible for shaping testing strategy across legacy Java systems and modern Angular-based platforms. You’ll lead a small QA team, expand automation coverage, embed quality into CI/CD pipelines, and partner deeply with engineering and product leadership.

This role is ideal for someone who wants ownership, influence, and technical depth—not just process management.

What You’ll Do

Quality Strategy & Leadership

• Define and execute the QA strategy across legacy and modern applications with a strong automation-first mindset.
• Lead and mentor QA engineers, setting clear goals, coaching development, and building a high-performing quality culture.
• Establish testing standards, frameworks, and best practices across engineering teams.
• Embed quality into the SDLC in partnership with Engineering and Product leaders.

Automation & Tooling

• Drive automation across Java backend and Angular front-end systems.
• Evaluate and scale modern automation tools (Cypress, Playwright, Newman, etc.).
• Build automated regression, integration, and end-to-end pipelines.
• Integrate testing deeply into CI/CD to improve release confidence and velocity.

Quality Engineering & Process Improvement

• Create test strategies, plans, and quality metrics across multiple products.
• Identify quality risks early and proactively mitigate defects before production.
• Own defect management workflows and reporting.
• Continuously improve QA processes, tooling, and team capabilities.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Engineering, Product, and DevOps to align quality practices with delivery workflows.
• Collaborate with offshore engineering teams to maintain consistent global quality standards.
• Participate in architecture and design reviews to ensure testability and reliability.

Modernization & Scale

• Lead QA modernization initiatives—framework upgrades, tooling improvements, and process redesign.
• Improve engineering velocity through smarter automation and testing strategies.
• Champion a culture of accountability, learning, and continuous improvement.

What Success Looks Like

• Automation coverage increases significantly across legacy and modern systems.
• Engineering teams ship faster with fewer production defects.
• QA becomes a strategic engineering partner, not a downstream gatekeeper.
• The QA team grows into a modern quality engineering function.
• Leadership trusts releases with high confidence and predictable outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have

• 8 years in QA, test automation, or quality engineering
• 3 years leading QA teams or senior technical contributors
• Strong experience with Java applications and modern front-end frameworks (Angular or similar)
• Hands-on automation experience with Cypress, Playwright, Newman, or comparable tools
• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines
• Excellent communication and cross-team collaboration skills

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with distributed or offshore engineering teams
• Background in healthcare, fintech, SaaS, or regulated environments
• Cloud platform experience (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Experience modernizing legacy QA frameworks
• Familiarity with performance, security, or reliability engineering

Why This Role Is Compelling

• Strategic mandate: This is a modernization role with real influence, not maintenance.
• Scale: You’ll work on systems with real financial and clinical impact.
• Leadership: You’ll shape QA strategy and build a modern quality engineering culture.
• Technical depth: Hands-on automation, CI/CD integration, and architecture collaboration.
• Career trajectory: Clear path toward Director/VP-level quality or platform leadership.

Compensation & Location

• Competitive senior-level compensation Base ($140K – $155K)
• Fully remote in the U.S.
