About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Mobile Testing QA Manager to take ownership of the overall quality of our mobile platform. In this role, you will act as a "Chapter Lead" within a matrix organization. You will be responsible for building robust mobile testing processes, while simultaneously managing, mentoring, and guiding a distributed team of mobile QA engineers embedded within various cross-functional product squads.

This is a hybrid role: you will be a strategic manager ensuring high-level quality metrics are met, and a technical QA Lead who can roll up their sleeves to review test architecture, unblock engineers, and drive best practices.

What You Will Do

Strategy & Process Engineering

• Build & Scale: Design, implement, and standardize mobile testing processes (both manual and automated) across all distributed product teams.
• Drive Overall Quality: Define, monitor, and improve key mobile quality metrics (e.g., Crash-free users, Defect Escape Rate, Time to Market, Test Coverage).
• Tooling & Infrastructure: Select and maintain the optimal tech stack for mobile testing, including automation frameworks, real-device farms, and cloud testing services (e.g., Firebase Test Lab, BrowserStack).
• CI/CD Integration: Partner closely with DevOps to ensure mobile automated tests are seamlessly integrated into the continuous integration and delivery pipelines.

Team & Chapter Management

• Matrix Leadership: Functionally manage a distributed team of mobile QA engineers working across independent product squads.
• Talent Growth: Lead hiring, onboarding, and continuous development of your team. Conduct regular 1-on-1s, build Personal Development Plans (PDPs), and conduct performance reviews.
• Community Building: Establish a "Mobile QA Guild" to foster knowledge sharing, align on standards, and prevent team silos.

Technical Leadership 

• Artifact Review: Audit and review complex test plans, test cases, and testing strategies for large-scale, cross-team features.
• Unblocking & Mentorship: Assist engineers with complex technical challenges specific to mobile (e.g., traffic sniffing, mocking, deep links, push notifications, and mobile analytics).
• Release Train Coordination: Oversee regression testing processes and coordinate mobile release builds for the App Store and Google Play across multiple squads.

Stakeholder Management

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) and advocate for mobile quality when collaborating with Product Managers, Tech Leads, and stakeholders.
• Shift-Left Culture: Champion quality at the earliest stages of development by participating in requirements grooming and Figma design reviews (focusing on testability and mobile UX).

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in Software Quality Assurance, with at least 3 years dedicated heavily to mobile testing (iOS and Android).
• Leadership: 2+ years of experience mentoring or managing QA engineers, ideally in a matrix or distributed team environment (Spotify model - Tribes/Squads/Chapters).
• Technical Chops: Hands-on experience with mobile test automation tools (Appium, Maestro, Espresso, or XCUITest) and a strong understanding of automation architecture.
• Mobile Expertise: Deep understanding of mobile ecosystem specifics, including App Store / Google Play release guidelines, iOS Human Interface Guidelines, and Android Material Design.
• Tool Proficiency: Experience working with CI/CD tools, mobile device farms, and network debugging tools (Charles, Proxyman).
• Soft Skills: Strong communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive cultural change regarding quality.

Nice to Have

• Experience building QA processes entirely from scratch in a fast-paced environment.
• Understanding of mobile performance and security testing.
