About the Job

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager (SEM) in Quality Engineering to lead and scale a strategic Quality Assistance model across our transversal product and engineering organization.

This role is key to driving a proactive, automation-first culture of quality, enabling development teams to take ownership of testing while benefiting from standardized frameworks, clear KPIs, and a supportive quality engineering ecosystem.

You’ll lead a team of experienced Quality Engineers, support their growth, and work closely with Product, Engineering, DevOps, and Customer teams to scale best practices that improve velocity without compromising quality.

From building observability into QA processes to influencing cross-functional priorities, your leadership will help shape how quality is defined and achieved across the organization.

What You Will Do

1. Promote a shift-left, quality-first mindset across teams. Champion collaborative approaches to testing, risk mitigation, and CI/CD integration from early stages of development.
2. Define and evolve a company-wide Quality Assistance strategy that enables product teams to scale with confidence. Ensure automation and observability are embedded in delivery pipelines.
3. Lead the standardization and adoption of robust test automation frameworks (e.g. WDIO, Playwright, Selenium, Appium) across frontend, backend, and mobile. Ensure tools are scalable, usable, and widely adopted.
4. Define key quality metrics, monitor engineering health through tools like Datadog and internal dashboards, and ensure visibility for all stakeholders.
5. Lead and mentor a team of 4–5 Quality Engineers (including seniors and leads). Provide guidance, coaching, and opportunities for growth in a high-impact environment.
6. Be a strategic partner to Product, Engineering, DevOps, and Customer-facing teams. Enable better collaboration, faster iteration, and smarter decisions across the organization.

What You Will Need to Succeed

1. 8+ years in Quality Engineering with 3+ years in a leadership or enablement role. You’ve worked in fast-paced environments, ideally scale-ups or product-led tech companies.
2. Strong hands-on background in test automation (frontend/backend/mobile), CI/CD (e.g. GitHub Actions), and quality observability. You understand how to build, maintain, and scale QA platforms in cloud-native contexts.
3. You think in systems, not silos. You know how to turn quality from a gatekeeper function into an enabler of speed, confidence, and excellence.
4. Excellent communication and influencing skills. Able to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to drive quality priorities.
5. You lead by example, support team growth, and create an inclusive environment that encourages initiative, curiosity, and ownership.

Tech Stack You’ll Work With

-Automation Frameworks:

-Frontend: Selenium WDIO (TypeScript), Playwright

-Backend: Python

-Mobile: Appium (Python)

-CI/CD: GitHub Actions

-Monitoring / Observability: Datadog + in-house quality dashboards

Languages

English required – You’ll work in an international team (20+ nationalities)

French optional – Our internal culture is inclusive and multilingual

What You’ll Love About This Role

1. High-impact scope: You'll drive quality across all teams with a transversal mandate
2. Strategic visibility: Collaborate with senior stakeholders and influence org-wide priorities
3. Team ownership & autonomy: Lead a talented team with space to innovate
4. Culture of growth: Coaching, mentoring, and experimentation are core to how we operate
