You’ll be responsible for designing this service, and charting the automation destiny for your teams.  We have major releases every two months, so bring your creativity and enthusiasm to help leverage the latest in open source testing tools, to deliver high quality each sprint, each release, to every customer.

You will be responsible for leading a high-performance, feature driven Quality Engineering team by example. You must have a proven track record of success, leading a technical QE team with a strong sense of quality ownership, customer advocacy, and automation strategy.

This is a hands-on job that requires strong technical, collaboration and mentoring skills to provide leadership and expertise throughout the entire software development lifecycle, ensuring the success of you and your team's efforts. You will work with a team of demanding, highly motivated QA engineers and developers and will be expected to both challenge and be challenged.
