About The Position

The Test Manager will join a quality engineering team supporting a consumer payments and wallet platform. The role coordinates day-to-day regression operations by prioritizing and tracking weekly test requests, maintaining accurate test-management data, and monitoring automated workflows. The position is fully onsite in Austin, Texas, five days a week, and follows West Coast (Pacific Time) business hours. The role begins with shadowing a team member for the first few weeks, followed by increasing ownership of the weekly plan. Clear guidelines define which decisions can be made independently and which must be escalated, and a runbook is provided. Access to internal systems is granted after the start date, so candidates should factor that into their availability.

Experience with a defect-tracking system and a test-management platform, including bulk updates and verifying changes.
Ability to prioritize competing requests and communicate trade-offs to stakeholders.
Strong attention to detail and clear written communication.
Comfort following detailed procedures and escalating ambiguity.

Payments, identity, or mobile-platform familiarity.

Responsibilities

Own the team's work-tracking board and manage weekly task prioritization.

Link scheduled test suites to tracking items using documented rules.
Create release-tracking hierarchies from templates.
Regularly check that the test-results platform and defect tracker agree.
