Manager, Software Development Engineering in Test

About the Role

We are looking for a passionate and innovative SDET Tech Lead to join our

dynamic QE team. As a hands-on leader, you will help drive the success of our cutting-edge, AI-driven CLM platform while managing and mentoring a growing team of SDETs. Our automation is built in TypeScript; while experience with TypeScript is a big plus, what matters most is strong programming ability and the ability to lead a team through complex technical challenges. If you can own the full testing lifecycle, write sophisticated test code independently, and demonstrate a true quality engineering leadership mindset, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do :

People Leadership : Actively manage and mentor SDETs, conducting high-level code reviews and fostering a culture of technical excellence across the team.

AI Quality Strategy : Drive the quality assurance process by implementing comprehensive automated functional, regression, and performance testing specifically designed to validate AI / ML outputs and legal data extraction.

Cross-Functional Collaboration : Partner with software developers and product managers to define features and establish criteria for verifying correct implementation of AI-driven workflows.

Framework Architecture : Leverage your expertise to design, develop, and maintain efficient, scalable test automation frameworks that support continuous delivery and integration.

Performance Excellence : Enhance platform scalability by implementing effective performance and load testing strategies to handle enterprise-level contract data.

Coding Standards : Set the "coding standards" for the entire QE team, ensuring robust, enterprise-grade SaaS platform stability.

About You

Basic Qualifications :

10+ years of experience in quality engineering with a strong focus on test automation.

2+ years of experience in a lead or managerial capacity, including actively managing and mentoring a team of SDETs.

Other Qualifications :

Technical Mastery : Deep experience in TypeScript, Java, or Python and a strong grasp of software design patterns.

Framework Architecture : Proven expertise in designing, developing, and maintaining efficient, scalable test automation frameworks that support continuous delivery and integration.

AI / ML Quality Strategy : Experience validating non-deterministic AI outputs and ensuring the integrity of data mined from complex documents.

Automation Tools : Proficiency in modern tools; specific experience with Playwright is a strong plus.

Backend & Data Expertise : Solid understanding of testing REST APIs and knowledge of SQL and various database systems to validate data integrity.

Process Leadership : Strong experience with Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) practices and setting coding standards for the entire QE team.

DevOps Integration : Practical experience with CI / CD practices and tools (e.g., GitHub Actions) and Git version control.

Performance Excellence : Ability to enhance platform scalability by implementing effective performance and load testing strategies.

Cross-Functional Collaboration : Demonstrated strength in partnering with software developers and product managers to define features and verification criteria.
