About ProScore.ai

ProScore.ai is building technology that makes workforce compliance easier, smarter, and more reliable for highly regulated industries. Our platform supports some of the largest construction organizations in the world, helping them manage complex compliance requirements, reduce risk, and stay prepared for audits.

When compliance, regulatory exposure, and customer trust are on the line, software quality matters.

Our engineering team is collaborative, practical, and focused on building products that perform in the real world. We're looking for an experienced QA Team Lead / Manager who can bring that same mindset to our quality organization, someone who enjoys leading people while still staying close to the technology.
The Opportunity

This is a hands-on leadership role with real ownership.

You'll lead a team of 3–5 QA Engineers and take responsibility for quality across ProScore's features and releases. You'll guide testing strategy, improve processes, strengthen automation, manage team priorities, and partner directly with Product and Engineering throughout the development lifecycle.

Most importantly, QA isn't viewed as the final checkpoint at ProScore. You'll have a seat at the table, helping identify risks, challenge assumptions, improve requirements, and influence how we build software before it reaches production.

We're looking for someone who knows how to balance speed with precision, develop strong QA talent, and confidently answer one important question:
Are we ready to release?
What You'll Do
Lead Quality Strategy

Own and continuously improve our overall testing approach across functional, regression, integration, API, automation, and edge-case testing.
Lead & Develop the QA Team

Manage and mentor a team of 3–5 QA Engineers. Set priorities, balance workloads, provide technical guidance, and create an environment where engineers can grow and do their best work.
Own Release Readiness

Take ownership of QA sign-off and deployment readiness. Evaluate test results, outstanding defects, acceptance criteria, and overall risk to make clear, data-driven go/no-go recommendations.
Partner with Product & Engineering

Bring QA into the conversation early. Participate in sprint planning, review requirements for testability, identify potential gaps, and raise quality concerns before development is complete.
Strengthen Bug & Defect Management

Establish a high standard for actionable defect reporting, including clear reproduction steps, logs, network payloads, environmental details, and supporting evidence that helps Engineering move quickly.
Build Smarter Regression Coverage

Continuously evaluate the regression suite to ensure it reflects the current product. Add coverage where it creates value and retire outdated tests so the suite remains efficient, relevant, and trustworthy.
Drive Automation

Help shape and scale our automation strategy, with a focus on Playwright and TypeScript/JavaScript . Ensure automation provides meaningful, maintainable coverage rather than simply increasing test counts.
Communicate Quality & Risk

Serve as a trusted voice on product quality. Translate technical testing results, defects, and release risks into clear information that Product, Engineering, and business leadership can act on.
Build for Auditability

Compliance software requires a different level of precision. You'll help create testing processes, documentation, logging, and traceability that can stand up to both internal scrutiny and external audit requirements.
