Über diese QA Manager (Remote) Stelle bei Huckleberrylabs
As our QA Manager, you’ll lead a globally distributed team of 12 QA engineers spanning manual and automation, reporting directly to the CTO. You’ll own the QA function end to end — strategy, staffing, standards, and effectiveness — and you’ll own the call on release readiness as the final quality voice on what ships and when. This is a role for someone who builds quality in from the start.

Team Leadership & Development

Drive down post-release defect and hotfix rates; monitor production quality, lead the response when issues land, and close the loop on root causes

Work with leadership to establish quality KPIs and drive progress toward goals
