QA Manager jobs in Tel Aviv-Yafo

Description Join the future of mobility. Help build the platform that's changing how cities move. NoTraffic is the world’s leading mobility platform, transforming intersections into connected infrastructure that improves flow, boosts safety, and prepares cities for the autonomous era. We're looking for a Head of QA to own software quality across NoTraffic. Our platform runs live traffic signals at thousands of intersections, spanning edge devices in the field, cloud services, and web applications, so a bug that reaches the field can affect public safety and the trust our customers place in us. You'll lead the QA team and own QA strategy, people, and releases. We're moving R&D to an agent-driven development model, and you'll decide how we test software that humans and AI agents write together. Your day to day will look like: • Own software quality end to end. You're accountable for the quality of everything R&D ships, from the edge fleet to the cloud platform and applications. Set the QA strategy across test coverage, environments, and quality gates, and own the QA roadmap. You'll measure success in fewer escaped bugs and faster, safer releases. • Lead and grow the team. Run 1:1s, performance reviews, and career growth for the QA team. Build a team that automates by default and that developers trust. • Hire. Shape the team's profile and hire for it, as more of the testing shifts to developers and agents and QA's role moves toward strategy, infrastructure, and verification. • Run release quality and timelines. Own release management from QA's side: plan QA timelines, track readiness, and drive go/no-go decisions against clear quality gates. Coordinate with Product, DevOps, and Operations so releases land on time and land safely in the field. • Make quality visible. Define and report quality metrics such as coverage, escaped defects, and release health, and track how they change over time. Represent QA in management forums and give leadership an honest read on where quality stands. • Put AI to work. Use AI and agentic tools in your own work, and lead their adoption across QA: agents that generate and maintain tests, automate triage, and expand coverage well past what the team could do by hand. Help define how quality is verified when agents write a growing share of our code. Requirements • 8+ years in software QA, including 3+ managing QA teams • Experience managing senior individual contributors • A track record of managing large automated test suites • Enough technical depth to challenge a test strategy, review an automation framework, and judge coverage gaps • Experience owning release quality and QA timelines in a CI/CD environment • Experience testing products that combine hardware and software, or edge devices and cloud • Hands-on with AI and agentic tools, with a record of building them into real workflows • Strong communication skills, and comfort presenting data-driven quality reports to management Nice to have: • Experience in safety-critical or critical-infrastructure products • Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, simulation, or physical lab environments • Background in transportation, ITS, or public-sector products • Experience building a QA function at a growing startup

Own end-to-end quality across Sidelines products, including web and mobile applications, backend services, embedded partner integrations, tracking systems and data flows. Define and continuously improve the QA strategy, including regression coverage, release gates, risk assessment and production validation. Architect, develop and maintain scalable test automation across UI, API and end-to-end system workflows. Establish quality processes that identify defects and requirement gaps early in the development lifecycle. Collaborate closely with Engineering, Product and DevOps to improve testability, CI/CD integration, deployment reliability and release readiness. Analyze product requirements, challenge assumptions and proactively identify edge cases, dependencies and technical risks. Lead, mentor and develop QA engineers while remaining deeply involved in hands-on automation and technical problem-solving. Drive continuous improvements in automation effectiveness, test stability, defect prevention and overall delivery quality. Take ownership of quality-related technical decisions, tooling and release recommendations. Requirements 6+ years of QA experience across complex, production-grade systems, including frontend, backend, APIs and third-party integrations. 4+ years of hands-on test automation experience, including designing, building and maintaining automation frameworks. 2+ years of experience leading QA engineers, with end-to-end ownership of quality and release readiness. Strong programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript or a comparable language, with experience in modern automation tools. Playwright is a significant advantage. Solid understanding of API testing, databases, CI/CD pipelines, debugging and distributed system interactions. Proven ability to design risk-based testing strategies, prioritize automation coverage and improve release confidence. Strong analytical thinking, technical independence, ownership and cross-functional communication skills. Ability to balance technical execution (approximately 70%) with team leadership and strategic quality initiatives.
