About the Job: As our Quality Engineering Manager, you will own quality strategy across our Storefront, Internal Apps, and Mobile apps. You will lead a team of QA engineers, mentor them toward stronger technical and strategic practice, and partner with engineering, product, and design leaders to define how Comfrt approaches quality.
We have a QA foundation in place, and this is a chance to build on it. We are looking for a highly technical leader who can set direction and stay close enough to the work to credibly guide it, across React-based web frontends, React Native mobile apps, and a serverless microservices backend on AWS.
Responsibilities:
Strategy & Leadership

Team Management & Mentorship
* Manage, coach, and develop QA engineers * Mentor the team on test design, automation, accessibility, and effective use of AI tools
Tooling & Process
* Evaluate and select QA tooling, including test management and bug tracking platforms, and lead its rollout * Own test planning, test case, and regression processes across all pods
Hands-On Quality Engineering
* Contribute to and review automated test suites using Playwright and TypeScript * Guide API and integration testing for our serverless backend on AWS * Partner with engineers on testing our headless, React-based storefront and web applications * Drive accessibility testing against WCAG 2.2 AA across web and mobile * Step in on complex or high-risk testing and release validation as needed
Qualifications:
* 7–10 years of experience in Quality Assurance or Software Testing within a web, mobile, or digital product environment * 2+ years of experience leading, managing, or formally mentoring QA engineers * Demonstrated experience defining QA strategy and maturing QA processes * Strong technical background, with proficiency in TypeScript and the ability to read, review, and write code alongside engineers * Hands-on experience with test automation using Playwright and TypeScript, or similar * Working knowledge of React and how modern web applications are built, rendered, and deployed * Hands-on experience testing headless or composable eCommerce architectures (experience limited to Liquid theme-based storefronts is not a substitute) * Basic understanding of AWS and serverless, microservices-based architectures * Solid understanding of manual testing methodologies and test case design * Experience writing and executing API tests, including REST and GraphQL * Experience with test management platforms and bug tracking tools * Experience with accessibility testing against WCAG 2.2 AA * Experience using AI tools to accelerate test development and QA workflows * Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence engineering, product, and design leaders
Nice to Have:
* Experience building or maturing a QA function at a high-growth company * Experience testing Shopify-powered eCommerce experiences * Experience testing React Native applications and with mobile automation frameworks such as Maestro, Detox, or Appium * Experience testing gamified product features such as streaks, progression systems, or reward logic * Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into deployment workflows * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
