Why You Should Apply NOW:
We’re scaling fast and need a hands-on QA Engineering Manager to join our Public Investor Engineering team who can both lead people and shape the end‑to‑end testing strategy for our web applications. The ideal candidate possesses 3+ years of managing QA software engineers and 5+ years testing web and data applications built with React/JavaScript/TypeScript, Python/Dash, and AWS.
As a QA Engineering Manager, you will own the QA and testing of core parts of our web applications. You’ll lead and mentor a team of QA engineers while researching, planning, and institutionalizing best practices that enable world-class customer experiences in our Investor Applications. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on deep technical QA challenges, enjoys rolling up their sleeves to design and implement robust test frameworks and debug complex test failures, and can chart a clear, forward‑looking roadmap for our QA initiatives, including automation, performance testing, and quality metrics.
As Our QA Engineering Manager, You Will:
- Manage and grow your team: conduct regular 1:1s, set growth plans, and lead performance reviews.
- Ramp up from IC work: start by diving into hands‑on QA tasks to learn the codebase and processes, then transition to managing a small team of QA Engineers—with the opportunity to expand the team over time.
- Serve as the technical north star: review feature changes, establish QA and engineering standards, and report directly to the Senior Engineering Manager, who will provide hands‑on mentorship in cutting‑edge web tools and techniques.
- Hire, onboard, and develop high‑performing QA engineers: mentor through pair programming, training sessions, and ongoing feedback.
- Collaborate with the application team on testing and evolving our application platform for scale, testability, and reliability.
- Own end-to-end project execution: drive sprint planning, partner with Product Management, and coordinate across stakeholders to deliver on QA initiatives.
- Produce clear documentation: create test plans, playbooks, and training materials to institutionalize best practices.
You Are Likely To Succeed If:
- You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related technical discipline.
- 6+ years of hands‑on QA experience in web and data applications, including 2–3+ years formally managing a QA team of 1–3 engineers.
- Proven track record designing, building, and maintaining automated test frameworks for customer‑facing web applications supporting data analytics use cases.
- A track record of mentoring engineers, elevating team productivity, and hiring bar-raising talent.
- Expertise with test tools and frameworks (e.g., Jest, Cypress, Selenium, PyTest) and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines.
- The ability to distill complex technical topics into crisp updates for non-technical partners.
- You are eager to constantly learn new technologies.
- You are a self-starter who enjoys working with both internal and external stakeholders.
- You have exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
- Must have: Hands‑on experience testing applications built end‑to‑end in React and JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Nice to have: Familiarity with AWS testing strategies, Python/Dash test automation, performance/security testing tools
What We Offer:
Our compensation package includes comprehensive benefits, perks, and a competitive salary:
- We care about your personal life, and we mean it. We offer flexible work hours, flexible vacation, a generous 401K match, parental leave, team events, wellness budget, learning reimbursement, and more!
- Your growth at YipitData is determined by the impact that you are making, not by tenure, unnecessary facetime, or office politics.
