The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  3M is hiring a Quality Assurance Manager in Albuquerque, NM.

• Role description

  Somewhere between the whiteboard sketch and the green deploy badge is the Quality Assurance Manager role we're opening in Albuquerque, NM. Set the $112,000 - $168,000 aside a moment and the technology ownership alone makes this 3M job worth a serious look.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Scale 3M's Postman services from Albuquerque pilot to NM-wide rollout
  • Spot the playfully-serious SQL anti-pattern in review before it spreads through 3M
  • Reverse-engineer the fast-growing LoadRunner format 3M inherited and never documented
  • Spike a SQL proof of concept fast when 3M needs a yes-or-no answer
  • Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements

  What You'll Bring

  • A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
  • Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
  • Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
  • Comfort presenting to a NM-wide audience without a script
  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
  • Solid Jenkins grounding, plus BDD you can pick up on the fly
  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before

  The purpose-led team behind 3M chose Albuquerque on purpose, betting that great technology work doesn't need a coastal zip code. We measure Quality Assurance Manager success by problems solved, not hours logged at your Albuquerque, NM desk.

  You get $112,000 - $168,000, a growth runway, a mentor, full benefits, and a flexible Albuquerque, NM setup, no fine print, no catch.

  We are filling this Quality Assurance Manager seat now, with onboarding planned for the near term.

  Take the leap into a gently-demanding freelance role at 3M and apply before the window closes.
