Senior QA Manager Automation & AI - Fully Remote

We’re looking for a hands-on, AI-driven Senior QA Manager to transform QA across our mobile, web, and instant games portfolio.

Your mission is to build an AI-first QA environment, developing and orchestrating AI agents, automating testing workflows, and continuously reducing manual effort while improving quality and release speed.

You’ll own QA automation across multiple games and platforms, combining technical execution, smart prioritization, and a strong drive for efficiency.

Qualified candidates are expected to complete an assignment.

Candidates must be based in the European Union.

Your Role:

• Drive AI-first QA: Introduce AI tools, agents, and intelligent workflows to automate and continuously improve QA processes.
• Build & orchestrate AI agents: Automate test generation, execution, bug detection, regression testing, and reporting.
• Own QA automation: Develop scalable testing frameworks and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.
• Optimize efficiency: Identify bottlenecks, eliminate repetitive manual work, and measure improvements in speed, coverage, and quality.
• Manage multiple projects: Prioritize QA across games, platforms, and teams based on risk and business impact.
• Ensure release quality: Oversee testing, bug prioritization, release readiness, and live monitoring across devices and platforms.
• Collaborate & innovate: Work closely with developers, product teams, and external QA partners to continuously improve QA practices.
• Stay hands-on: Personally build, test, and implement automation solutions rather than just managing processes.

Your Profile:

• 5+ years of QA experience in mobile, web, or instant games, preferably live-operated F2P titles.
• Strong hands-on automation skills, including frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, Appium, or similar.
• Practical AI experience: Using LLMs, AI coding tools, and ideally building or orchestrating AI agents.
• Technical proficiency: Comfortable with scripting, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, and modern development workflows.
• Game QA expertise: Understanding of Unity, device compatibility, SDKs, ads, IAPs, analytics validation, and performance testing.
• Monitoring & debugging: Experience with Firebase, Crashlytics, Datadog, or similar tools.
• Multi-project ownership: Able to prioritize, switch contexts quickly, and coordinate distributed teams or external QA vendors.
• Builder mindset: Proactive, resourceful, highly organized, and driven to replace manual processes with smarter solutions.
• Strong analytical and communication skills, including excellent English.
