The Quality Engineering group at Olo supports automated test initiatives for over 12 different engineering teams at Olo through our Test Engineering discipline. Our specialized skills range from UI test automation through API testing and on to load and performance testing.  

We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to guide our growing discipline and shape our cutting-edge test automation frameworks. This position is more than managing people or writing test scripts - you’ll set goals and execute strategies to meet them, all while facing rapid growth and scaling challenges. There’s never a boring day at Olo!

Reporting into the Director of Quality Engineering, you will partner with Engineering and Product Managers, as you deliver effective test automation that supports key product and technology initiatives. As a servant leader, you will focus on not only the development of automated test solutions but will also hire and nurture our talented test engineering team.

Our engineering tech stack is rooted in .NET (C# and F#) and SQL Server running in an AWS infrastructure and we use modern tools such as GitHub, TeamCity, Octopus Deploy, Datadog, and Sumo Logic, as well as heavy use of OSS. Our automated test frameworks leverage the same stack and tooling, while incorporating industry standards such as Selenium and k6.

  • Facilitating innovative, reliable automated test solutions for multiple products
  • Planning and managing the design, build and maintenance of test automation infrastructure in an AWS eco-system
  • Staying abreast of internal architecture changes and how they affect automation frameworks

COVID-19 Impact

Olo is committed to the well-being of candidates, employees and our community. The Olo NYC Headquarters will be closed for the foreseeable future because of the global outbreak of COVID-19. While an in-person interview is typical for many roles at Olo, we will conduct interviews via video conferencing while our HQ is closed. Olo benefits from the fact that over half of our workforce is remote, therefore we are accustomed to conducting interviews via video conferencing and we anticipate no impact on our recruiting timelines. We encourage candidates to share any concerns or questions with Olo’s recruiting team.
