QA Manager - Unannounced Project

QA Manager

Scopely is looking for a QA Manager to lead Automation & Services QA for an ambitious, cross-platform Strategy/MMO title on PC and Mobile.

You will lead a small Automation team using Nunu AI as its foundation, alongside Services QA, covering backend testing, environment setup, analytics, accounts and payments. This internal role owns QA across the Automation, Server Scalability, Build and Release, Web Admin Tools, and Cloud Operations Pods, partnering closely with Engineering, Production and the wider QA organisation.

What You Will Do

What You Will Do
QA Leadership & Pod Ownership

• Lead and develop QA teams, aligning their work with project goals, quality standards and development priorities.
• Own QA planning and delivery across your pods, and communicate quality risks and trade-offs to stakeholders.

Automation Strategy & Management

• Lead the automation strategy, roadmap and backlog, prioritizing by risk and ROI so Nunu AI delivers sustainable, high-value coverage.
• Integrate automation into build and release pipelines with Engineering, and keep manual testing where automation doesn’t fit.

Services QA Management

• Own the QA approach for backend functionality, integrations, scalability and resilience, working with Engineering to make services testable and quality measurable.
• Cover accounts, authentication, payments, analytics pipelines and admin tools, plus load and disaster recovery testing.

Environment & Release Readiness

• Ensure Services QA has reliable environments, including the Beta Environment, so backend changes are validated before deployment.
• Own release process testing and give go/no-go recommendations backed by clear evidence and risks.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of experience in Quality Assurance, software development or a related field.
• 3+ years of leadership experience managing QA teams or technical testing functions, and 2+ years leading testing initiatives across development and release cycles.
• Proven experience managing test automation, including strategy, backlog ownership, maintenance, delivery and measurable return on investment.
• Strong understanding of backend and API testing, service integrations, data validation and the risks associated with accounts, analytics and payments.
• Experience overseeing performance, load or scalability testing, and working with Engineering on service reliability and recovery testing.
• Working knowledge of test environments, cloud-hosted services, build and release pipelines, and deployment validation.
• Strong grounding in risk-based testing, defect management and QA tooling such as Jira, test management systems and reporting dashboards.
• Technical judgement to review testing and automation approaches, challenge assumptions and communicate effectively with engineers.
• Demonstrated ability to manage people, capacity, priorities and costs, with strong communication, stakeholder management and problem-solving skills.
• Experience supporting PC and Mobile releases and live-operation workflows, including patch validation, incident response and ongoing quality monitoring.

Experience with AI-assisted test automation, particularly Nunu AI, would be an advantage.
