Description
As a Software Engineer, you’ll prototype quickly, tie engineering to business outcomes, and balance rigor with AI-driven velocity. You’ll build and extend the quality platform—orchestration, retrieval, evaluation harnesses, and APIs—that scales quality across the portfolio
Minimum Qualifications
- Requires Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a technical field or a minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience in the US.
- Programming fundamentals demonstrated across multiple projects or large/shared codebases, with the ability to ramp quickly as the stack evolves, including designing asynchronous, event-driven systems — applying concurrency, non-blocking I/O, and sound failure handling at scale.
- Experience with RESTful/GraphQL APIs and automated testing frameworks.
- Experience either improving liability of shared CI/test infrastructure or operating a CI runner fleet.
- Shipped one LLM-powered feature.
Preferred Qualifications
- 8+ years as a Software Engineer and 5+ years in automation or platform tooling.
- Retrieval + RAG expertise (e.g., Pinecone, Qdrant, OpenSearch; re-ranking, hallucination evals,chunking strategies).
- Strong Python for ML/LLM workflows; advanced TypeScript and Node for platform services.
- Platform integration of AI agents, quality policies, and data-driven dashboards.
- Strong fundamentals in mocking, dependency injection, and distributed systems.
- Experience building shared execution images/runners and multi-tenancy controls (hardened, versioned images; isolation/quotas; fair queuing) on a company internal cloud (e.g., Kubernetes or an internal scheduler).
- Experience with cross-platform automation frameworks across web, native, and APIs; and reducing flakiness and improving time-to-signal via heuristics/stats.
- Experience building and integrating REST services, including subgraph/endpoint development, schema/API composition, and deployment collaboration with platform teams.
- Experience creating deterministic test data: seeding known records, masked subsets, synthetic data; managing golden dataset versioning and lineage.
- Ability to explain complex systems simply to engineers and non-engineers.

Mid Level Quality Engineering Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level quality engineering manager job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just contribution. Highlight projects where you led quality processes, resolved systemic defects, or improved test coverage independently. Emphasize cross-functional collaboration, any experience guiding junior engineers, and measurable outcomes like defect reduction rates or release cycle improvements. Applications that show decision-making authority, not just task execution, stand out for mid level roles.
Which companies hire mid level quality engineering managers?
Companies hiring mid level quality engineering managers right now include CooperSurgical, P3 USA, and PPG, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Mid-size technology firms and large enterprises with dedicated QA or engineering organizations tend to hire most actively at this level, as they need experienced practitioners who can run quality programs with limited senior oversight.
Are there remote mid level quality engineering manager jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by industry and company size. About 0% of mid level quality engineering manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility across engineering-heavy sectors. Fully remote roles are more common at companies with distributed engineering teams, while hybrid schedules are typical at organizations that coordinate testing alongside on-site hardware or manufacturing.
How do I move up to a mid level quality engineering manager role?
The path from entry level to mid level centers on deepening technical ownership over time. Build hands-on expertise in test automation, quality frameworks, and defect lifecycle management. Seek out projects where you can lead a workstream rather than support one. Demonstrating consistent, measurable impact on release quality and taking initiative on process improvements signals readiness for mid level responsibilities.
Which industries hire the most mid level quality engineering managers?
Mid Level quality engineering manager roles concentrate in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, Manufacturing, and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they operate at scale, ship software or complex products frequently, and need experienced quality professionals who can manage processes and mentor teams without requiring constant senior direction.
