We are looking for an experienced Automation Technical Project Manager to join our QA Team.

You’ll be reporting to the QA Management team and you’ll be responsible for supporting them in various aspects, including making sure our games implement the best approach to automating QA processes, bridge the gap between all teams involved in automation efforts, get involved hands-on in delivering practical automation solutions and follow-up with all involved stakeholders on the overall progress.

You’ll be working with various Stakeholders, such as Technical Directors, Game Producers, Game Managers, Game Developers, Release and Operations Managers, QA Managers, QA teams, etc… to take the best decisions for building up our Automation framework.

You’ll lead cross-functional initiatives, coordinate competing priorities, and foster adoption of standardized automation practices across our game portfolio.

• Integrate automation solutions into CI/CD pipelines to enable rapid and reliable development cycles
• Promote best practices for maintainable and scalable automation code and frameworks
• Coach and mentor QA and development teams on automation adoption and standards
