QE Manager

10+ YRS 

PUNE/HYDERABAD/BANGALORE

Looking for a workplace where people realize their full potential, are recognized for the impact they make, and enjoy the company of the peers they work with? Welcome to Zensar Read on for more details on the role and about us.

A Quality Engineering (QE) Manager is a senior leader responsible for building and overseeing an organization's Quality Engineering strategy, culture, and team. Unlike a traditional Quality Assurance (QA) Manager who focuses primarily on validation at the end of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), a QE Manager drives a "shift-left" approach by embedding quality throughout the entire process. 

This role combines technical expertise in automated testing and modern engineering practices with strong leadership and project management skills to deliver high-quality, reliable, and scalable products. 

 Key responsibilities

Strategy and management

• Develop and implement QE strategy: Define the overall quality engineering strategy, frameworks, and best practices to ensure high product quality and reliability.
• Manage the QE team: Hire, mentor, and lead a team of QE engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and ownership.
• Define and track metrics: Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and quality metrics to monitor product quality, process efficiency, and team performance. Prepare reports and dashboards for leadership and stakeholders.
• Budget and resource management: Oversee the QE budget, including resources for personnel, tools, and testing infrastructure. 

Technical and process leadership

• Champion test automation: Drive the adoption and maturity of automated testing across various platforms (web, mobile, API, etc.). Oversee the design and maintenance of scalable test automation frameworks.
• Integrate quality into DevOps/CI/CD: Ensure testing is an integral part of the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, allowing for rapid and reliable releases.
• Drive quality improvement initiatives: Lead efforts for continuous process improvement. Conduct root cause analysis on defects to prevent recurrence and optimize testing methodologies and tools.
• Guide testing coverage: Work with engineering, product, and business teams to confirm and prioritize testing strategies, ensuring adequate coverage for both functional and non-functional requirements.

Skills and qualifications

• Experience: Proven experience (often 5+ years) in a Quality Engineering or software development role, including several years in a leadership or management position.
• Technical expertise: Deep understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies. Strong, hands-on experience with test automation frameworks and tools (e.g., Selenium, Robot Framework, Cypress, Postman).
• Programming skills: Proficiency in one or more scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript).
• Cloud and DevOps experience: Experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and DevOps practices, including CI/CD integration.
• Leadership skills: Exceptional leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills to build and manage high-performing teams and influence stakeholders effectively.
• Analytical skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to make data-driven decisions and address complex issues.
