SDET Project Manager (hybrid role)

The Role : Project Manager (with SDET expertise)

This is a hybrid role — part project lead, part quality guardian. You'll be the driving force behind our sprint cycles, ensuring smooth planning, clear communication, quality releases, and a balanced workload across team members.

You’ll also roll up your sleeves as an SDET : writing automated tests, performing manual testing where needed, and embedding quality into our fast-paced development lifecycle.

What You’ll DoProject & Sprint Management (Primary Focus)

Lead and manage sprints — from planning and backlog grooming to retrospectives and release coordination.

Ensure clear communication , task ownership, and follow-up between developers, AI specialists, and product / design.

Track progress using tools like Jira or Linear, and manage project timelines, blockers, and priorities.

Keep a pulse on delivery readiness and quality across features and agents.

Own the sprint cadence and help maintain a healthy developer velocity.

Software Quality & Test Engineering (SDET Focus)

Design and maintain automated test frameworks (front-end, API, and back-end).

Write test cases and scripts for key user flows — and run manual tests when automation doesn’t cut it.

Ensure test coverage, traceability, and documentation of results.

Collaborate with developers to catch bugs early , improve testability, and support a high-quality release cycle.

Test data flows, AI agents, and prompt-based systems using Python and JavaScript tools.

You Bring

4–5 years of experience in software development, testing, or QA project management.

Solid hands-on experience as an SDET or test engineer (manual + automated).

Experience leading Agile-style sprints and managing small, cross-functional tech teams.

Proficiency with JavaScript / React and Python for writing test scripts and automation.

Knowledge of LLM-based systems , AI workflows, or data-heavy applications is a big plus.

Strong communication skills, independence, and a love for bringing structure to fast-moving environments.
