Qualifications

- At least 4 years of experience in project management, delivery, or QA, ideally within a small engineering team. - Technical background to work closely with engineers: ability to diagnose bugs, read stack traces, and create automated test cases. - Hands-on QA experience: ownership of testing and bug pipeline, whether manual or automated. - Experience using AI tools to streamline manual tasks. - Skillful in judgment and process optimization: add structure when beneficial and avoid it when unnecessary. - Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, and the ability to work effectively with people. - Comfortable with ambiguity and small-team dynamics, having experience working in environments with minimal formal process. - Passionate about education and a desire to create positive impacts.

Nice to Haves

- Familiarity with Ruby on Rails or Django codebases, the stacks we use. - Experience with Capybara, RSpec, or similar testing tools. - Experience collaborating with product managers and non-technical stakeholders. - History as the first project manager or QA hire on a team.
