🎯 The Role

Until now, quality has been a shared responsibility across squads, but we’re ready to take it to the next level. We’re hiring our first QA Manager to build a world-class testing practice and embed quality at the heart of how we ship.

You’ll establish and lead our QA function from the ground up.

Your mission: Define our global testing strategies (general approach, standards, methodology, tools), build automation around Playwright, and hire and mentor a team of 5 QA Automation Engineers.

You’ll work closely with Technical leads, Developers, DevOps, and Product managers to ensure that every deployment meets the highest standards of reliability and performance.

You will:

• Design and implement a scalable QA strategy that aligns with our CI/CD pipeline
• Introduce and standardize test automation practices (Playwright, API testing, performance & regression)
• Be hands-on to build solid foundations : the QA team you’ll hire will then take more and more ownership over time
• Hire, onboard, and develop a high-performing QA Automation team
• Define key quality metrics, reporting, and dashboards for leadership visibility
• Collaborate with developers to bring automated testing into the development lifecycle to a different level
• Champion quality culture across the engineering organization
• Work closely with CTO and VP of Engineering
  
  

💡 What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years in QA leadership roles within SaaS or product engineering environments
• Proven experience structuring a QA function
• Strong technical background in test automation frameworks (ideally Playwright)
• Solid understanding of CI/CD practices
• Experience working with JavaScript/TypeScript-based stacks
• Hands-on mindset
• Excellent communication skills in both French and English
  
  

🌟 Why You’ll Love It Here

• Greenfield opportunity : build your vision of what “great QA” looks like
• A company that is profitable, boostrapped & growing very fast
• Supportive leadership that believes in investing in software quality
• Modern stack and continuous delivery environment
• Competitive compensation (60-70K€ base salary + 18K€ bonus)
• Remote-friendly, work from anywhere
