About the role

  • At AutoSync, quality is owned by every product engineering team.
  • The Quality Engineering team exists to make that possible at scale.
  • This is not a traditional QA management role, and it is not a centralized testing function.

Responsibilities

  • The team acts as a center of practice for quality: helping engineers and teams build, test, ship, and operate healthier products themselves.
  • In this model, engineers supervise capable agents that can support planning, implementation, testing, triage, pipeline diagnosis, and quality improvement through clear workflows, guardrails, and measurable outcomes.
  • You will manage up to 5 direct reports and work closely with engineering managers, staff engineers, product leaders, platform teams, and cross-department stakeholders.
  • Own and evolve AutoSync's quality maturity model, maturity indexes, standards, and KPIs.
  • Build practical playbooks, examples, golden paths, and knowledge bases for quality engineering and agentic workflows.

Requirements

  • Practical experience with AI-assisted or agentic coding tools such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar tools.

Nice to have

  • Understanding of quality challenges in AI-assisted systems, including non-determinism, regression testing, output validation, hallucination risk, and human review.
  • Experience with observability and quality dashboards using tools such as Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, Looker, or similar.
  • Experience with cloud-native, distributed, event-driven, web, or mobile systems.
  • Experience scaling quality practices across multiple product teams, domains, or business units.
  • Experience in a center-of-excellence, center-of-practice, platform, or engineering enablement model.
  • Experience designing and facilitating technical workshops, training programs, or internal communities of practice.
  • Preferred Experience

Skills

  • Our flagship brands - AutoTrader.ca, AutoSync, Dealertrack Canada and CMS - help Canadians buy, sell, and finance vehicles with confidence.

Compensation

  • $140k-$150k

Benefits

  • Participate in team ceremonies and cross-department planning where quality, delivery health, or engineering maturity are at stake.
  • Design and build metrics and dashboards that show pipeline quality, product quality, release health, and engineering maturity.
  • Grow a community of practice around quality, testing, engineering health, and AI-assisted delivery.

Company info

  • Define how AutoSync uses agentic coding tools such as Codex and similar platforms to improve engineering quality and developer effectiveness.
  • Build, mature, and scale reusable testing and quality agents, skills, workflows, and integrations that serve multiple engineering teams.
  • Establish practical patterns for agent supervision, validation, traceability, human review, and safe adoption.
  • Help teams move from manual prompting to reliable on-the-loop workflows where agents reduce toil, and engineers stay accountable for outcomes.
  • Evaluate emerging agentic tooling and translate useful capabilities into practical engineering workflows.
  • Coach engineering teams and individual engineers on modern testing, quality, and delivery practices.
  • Embed quality practices into planning, delivery, release, and operational rituals.
  • Shift the organization away from centralized test execution and toward product-team ownership of quality.
  • Provide visibility at team, product, and AutoSync-wide levels.
  • Use data to identify quality risks, slow feedback loops, flaky tests, pipeline bottlenecks, escaped defects, and coaching opportunities.
  • Help engineering leadership make better investment and tradeoff decisions using clear quality signals
