About The Position

As a Senior Manager of Quality Assurance at Buildertrend, you’ll help shape the future of residential construction by elevating teams’ ability to release quickly and confidently several times per day. You’ll work across teams to build a culture where quality is shared, proactive, and deeply embedded in how we deliver customer value. You’ll coach QA engineers, help teams prevent issues rather than detect them, and strengthen fast, meaningful feedback loops so teams can continuously learn, reduce risk, and release with confidence.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent experience required.
7+ years of software quality assurance or engineering in fast-paced, agile product environments.
3+ years of QA or engineering leadership experience.
Experience with all levels of test automation (unit, service, end to end).
Experience using modern AI tools to improve engineering or QA workflows and accelerate feedback cycles.
Proven experience transforming QA practices toward a “quality built-in” model (shift-left, automation, and shared ownership of quality).
Strong systems thinking with a focus on improving feedback loops, testability, and delivery flow.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence across engineering, product, and leadership teams.
A track record of mentoring and growing engineers and QA professionals at different levels

Responsibilities

Lead and support a team of QA Engineers, focusing on growth, technical excellence, and strong ownership of quality outcomes.
Create an environment where QA engineers operate as quality leaders, not test executors.
Partner with engineering, product, design, and SRE to ensure quality is embedded from the start.
Influence how teams think about risk, testability, and shared ownership of quality across the entire development lifecycle.
Drive the mindset that quality is everyone’s responsibility, moving teams away from QA as a gate and toward collaborative quality practices built into daily engineering work.
Design, measure, and continuously improve feedback loops so teams can rapidly detect risk, learn quickly, and release with confidence multiple times per day.
Identify gaps in tooling, testability, and delivery workflows.
Partner with engineering and SRE to improve reliability, stability, and confidence in releases.
Utilize AI-enabled tools and modern practices that improve feedback speed, test creation, and engineering efficiency, without sacrificing quality signals or confidence.
