À propos de ce poste QA Manager (Remote) chez 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.
