Realtor.com® is an open real estate marketplace built for everyone.
The Role

Recognized as the No. 1 site trusted by real estate professionals, Realtor.com® has been at the forefront of online real estate for over 25 years, connecting buyers, sellers, and renters with trusted insights and expert guidance to find their perfect home. Through its robust suite of tools, Realtor.com® not only makes a significant impact on the real estate industry at large, but for consumers, navigating the biggest purchase they will make in their life, by providing a user experience that is easy to use, easy to understand, and most of all, easy to make decisions.

Join us on our mission to empower more people to find their way home by breaking barriers to entry, making the right connections, and building confidence through expert guidance.

We are midway through a shift from an embedded QA model to an enablement model in which every squad owns its outcomes. As the Senior Manager, Quality Engineering, you will guide that transformation, building self-service quality capabilities, coaching engineers to “shift left,” and introducing AI-driven automation so we ship better code faster.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with the Head of Quality to convert strategy into quarterly objectives and key results for more than 40 product squads.
  • Build and evangelize self-service quality platforms for test generation, data management, CI/CD integration, and observability.
  • Implement AI-driven code-review guards (LLM-based static analysis, pull-request copilots) that surface defects before code merges.
  • Pilot and scale GenAI or ML tools that accelerate test creation, root-cause analysis, and release decisions.
  • Define and publish quality and reliability metrics such as escaped-defect rate, flaky-test burn-down, and mean time to detect.
  • Lead and develop a distributed team of quality engineers embedded in squads, coaching them to raise the engineering bar.
  • Run continuous-improvement rituals including blameless post-incident reviews and defect-prevention workshops.
  • Partner with Engineering, Product, and Design to embed quality and observability into architecture and release planning from day one.
  • Rationalize external vendors and spend, negotiate contracts that align to automation and AI goals, and sunset legacy manual-testing engagements.

How We Work:

We balance creativity and innovation on a foundation of in-person collaboration. For most roles, our employees work three or more days in our offices, where they have the opportunity to collaborate in-person, adding richness to our culture and knitting us closer together.

What you'll bring:

  • 10+ years in software quality engineering, including five or more years leading high-performing teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
  • Demonstrated success transforming embedded QA groups into enablement functions at scale (100+ engineers).
  • Deep expertise in test-automation frameworks, cloud-native CI/CD, and shift-left quality techniques.
  • Hands-on experience launching AI or ML tools for static analysis, code review, defect prediction, or automated testing.
  • Data-driven decision maker who uses metrics and experimentation to influence change.

Who you are:

Inspirational leader and servant coach who unblocks teams, builds community, and evangelizes new practices across functions.
