Senior Manager, Test Engineering

Job title: Chief Agentic Quality Architect

Type: Full-Time | Contract

Location: Remote

Role Overview

Equity Partners builds profitable growth by acquiring and operating enterprise software companies — refining a proprietary operating model across 40+ acquisitions and two decades of hands-on experience, now supercharged by our patented agentic AI platform. We're hiring a Chief Agentic Quality Architect to lead the transition from traditional scripted testing to an AI-augmented quality ecosystem. In this role, you'll audit and rebuild our quality engineering foundations, deploy agentic automation across critical business flows, and build the guardrails needed to keep AI-generated code production-ready.

Key Skills

• 10+ years in QA automation engineering, SDET, or test architecture roles
• Expert-level proficiency in Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
• Hands-on experience using LLMs (Claude, GPT-4, etc.) and agentic frameworks to generate code or automate workflows
• Deep understanding of integrating quality gates into AWS-based CI/CD pipelines or similar environments
• Architectural mindset, with the ability to design "Behavioral Snapshots" to safeguard critical business logic during rapid transformation

Responsibilities

• Conduct a comprehensive audit of the existing test estate across unit, integration, API, UI, sanity, and regression layers, producing a Current State & Gap Coverage Report
• Architect and own a phased quality engineering roadmap across two-week, one-month, and three-month delivery horizons
• Deploy agentic test generation — transforming business requirements into executable Playwright/Cypress scripts, generating synthetic test data, and implementing self-healing automation
• Design regression strategies and quality gates specifically tuned to catch hallucinations and logic errors in AI-generated code
• Build, mentor, and upskill a specialist QA team fluent in AI-assisted testing and agentic automation frameworks

If you're ready to rewrite the rules of quality for an AI-native world, we want you leading the charge.

What you'll own

The quality charter. Define and evolve the testing strategy — web application, dashboards, APIs, webhooks, and customer integrations. Establish release criteria, coverage expectations, and quality gates that engineers actually respect because they're fast and they catch real bugs. Automation at scale. Build and maintain end-to-end and API automation suites that run on every PR and give a trustworthy signal. Own the flake rate. Design for parallel execution, deterministic test data, and fast feedback — a suite nobody trusts is worse than no suite. Performance and reliability. Design and run load, stress, and soak tests against APIs and the platform. Profile results, isolate bottlenecks with the engineers who own the service, and set up the monitoring that tells us about degradation before a customer does. Leverage through tooling, including AI. Use whatever gets coverage up and cycle time down: LLM-assisted test case generation from specs, AI-assisted authoring and maintenance of automation, synthetic test data generation, log and failure triage. We expect you to be opinionated about where these tools genuinely help and where they produce impressive-looking noise. Raising the bar. Partner with product and engineering from spec through release so quality risk is surfaced during design, not after code freeze. Mentor the QA team and build the practices — bug triage discipline, root cause analysis, prevention over detection — that outlast any single release.

What we're looking for

Must have

3–6 years in QA roles, with meaningful ownership of automation frameworks rather than only executing existing suites.

Strong test automation skills with a modern framework — Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium — and solid coding ability in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Java. You should be comfortable reading application code, not just testing around it.

API testing experience: REST, auth, webhooks and asynchronous event flows, contract testing, and tooling such as Postman, REST Assured, or Pact.

Hands-on CI/CD integration — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or equivalent — including making suites fast and reliable enough to gate merges.

Working knowledge of SQL for validating data correctness, and comfort with logs, traces, and observability tooling for debugging.

Rigorous, systematic thinking about edge cases and failure modes, and the communication skills to make quality risk legible to product and leadership.

Nice to have

Experience testing AI, ML, or LLM-based products, and comfort with the reality that outputs are probabilistic rather than deterministic. Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud infrastructure for standing up test environments.

Performance and load testing with k6, JMeter, Gatling, or Locust, plus the analytical ability to turn results into a specific, actionable bottleneck. Exposure to enterprise SaaS with real integration surface area, or to security and compliance testing expectations of enterprise buyers. - Experience as the first or most senior quality voice on a team.

What we offer

Competitive compensation with equity. Direct ownership of a charter that materially affects how enterprise customers experience our product.

Proximity to frontier AI systems in production, and the freedom to use modern tooling to do your job well.

A fast-moving team where the distance between an idea and a shipped change is short.

Senior QA Engineer

Make quality part of the engineering system.

AbleCredit builds software for complex enterprise workflows where AI, APIs, business rules, human decisions, and real-world operations have to work together reliably. We care about building products that work in production - not just in demos. We're looking for a senior quality engineer who can move quality upstream: from release-time testing to better automation, contracts, observability, and engineering practices.

What You'll Own?

• Own quality strategy across web, mobile, backend APIs, integrations, and end-to-end workflows.

• Design and maintain automated regression suites for critical customer journeys.

• Build API, integration, contract, and workflow tests that catch failures before production.

• Partner with engineering and product teams during design - not only after development is complete.

• Define release readiness, risk-based testing, and production validation practices.

• Investigate escaped defects, identify systemic causes, and drive preventive improvements.

• Improve test data, environments, tooling, and CI integration so teams can ship confidently.

What We're Looking For?

• 5+ years in software quality engineering or test automation.

• Strong API and backend testing experience, including asynchronous and integration-heavy systems.

• Experience testing mobile and web applications and understanding client/ server failure modes.

• Ability to write automation in JavaScript/ TypeScript, Python, Java, or a similar language.

• Strong debugging skills across logs, network requests, databases, and distributed services.

• Experience with CI/CD and integrating automated tests into release pipelines.

• A product mindset: prioritize risk and customer impact rather than maximizing test-case counts.

Nice to Have

• Performance, load, security, or reliability testing.

• Experience with Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Postman/ Newman, k6, or similar tooling.

• Experience with event-driven systems, queues, webhooks, and long running workflows.

• Experience testing AI-assisted or non-deterministic product behavior.

How We Think About Quality?

Quality is an engineering responsibility. Automation should create confidence, not dashboards. A production escape should improve the system that allowed it to happen. The goal is simple: ship quickly without making customers our test environment.
