At ExtraHop, we’re on a mission to protect and empower the connected enterprise. We reveal what is happening in the very infrastructure that sustains businesses, lives, and communities, and ensure the integrity of networks, data, systems, and processes. Organizations rely on ExtraHop to provide visibility into the cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and network performance issues that evade their existing security and IT tools. With this insight, organizations can investigate smarter, stop threats faster, and keep operations running.

Our mission is fueled by a profound social and moral responsibility to be the best at what we do, ensuring a secure world where everyone can thrive. If this sounds like a place you’d like to spend the next chapter of your career, we’d love to hear from you.

Position Summary

We are seeking an Engineering Manager in QA to lead and scale our Quality Engineering function: driving strategy, execution, and organizational excellence across automation, testing frameworks, and product quality outcomes. This is a leadership role, responsible not only for leading teams but for shaping the direction of quality engineering across the organization.

You will operate as a systems-level thinker, connecting product architecture, engineering workflows, and customer experience to build a cohesive, scalable quality strategy. You will lead multiple engineers and/or teams, define standards, and ensure quality is embedded across the software development lifecycle, not treated as a downstream activity.

This role requires a balance of technical depth, organizational leadership, and strategic influence, with a focus on building high-performing teams and delivering resilient, high-quality products across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.

Key Responsibilities

Lead, develop, and scale a high-performing QA/Automation engineering organization.
Define and execute a comprehensive quality engineering strategy aligned to product and engineering goals.
Establish best practices for test automation, framework development, and validation at scale.
Ensure quality is embedded across the entire SDLC, CI/CD pipelines, and release processes.
Drive measurable improvements in product quality, release confidence, and defect reduction.

Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, SRE, and Support teams to align on quality goals and priorities.
Influence roadmap decisions by bringing data-driven insights on risk, coverage, and quality gaps.
Act as a thought leader in modern QA practices, tooling, and methodologies.
Foster a collaborative, high-performing team culture focused on ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Hire and retain high-quality engineering talent through high contact, regular reviews, and career development planning.
Establish and track key quality metrics (e.g., defect rates, test coverage, release health).
Drive operational rigor in planning, execution, and delivery across teams.
Improve scalability and efficiency of QA processes in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
6+ years of experience in software quality engineering or software development.
2+ years of experience managing or leading engineering or QA teams.
Strong understanding of modern SDLC practices, CI/CD, and Agile methodologies.
Demonstrated ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels; driving automation strategy and framework development at scale.
Experience influencing cross-functional stakeholders and driving alignment across teams.
Strong technical foundation with the ability to engage in architectural discussions and trade-offs.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with automation and orchestration in large-scale distributed systems (AWS, Azure, etc.).
Familiarity with API and UI testing frameworks (e.g., Python, Selenium, BDD/Behave).
Background in networking, security, or data-intensive systems.
Experience building or scaling QA functions in high-growth or enterprise environments.

The salary range for this role is $170,00 - $180,000 + bonus + benefits

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
