Some engineers tolerate complexity; the Quality Assurance Manager we want at Mastercard hunts it down and refactors it out of existence. A freelance Quality Assurance Manager role that values ownership over busywork, pays $106,000 - $167,000, and invests in your long-term growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Stress-test Katalon Studio systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
- Resurrect flaky Katalon Studio tests until the Durham, NC suite is trustworthy again
- Write the API Testing integration tests that catch regressions before Durham, NC ships them
- Harden Mastercard's TestRail auth so the NC audit comes back clean
- Question the problem-solving TestRail pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
- Guard the Regression Testing codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
- Pull API Testing telemetry into dashboards Mastercard leaders actually open
What You'll Bring
- An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
- Proven track record delivering results as a Quality Assurance Manager
- A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
- Hands-on command of Katalon Studio, with API Testing as a close second
- Fluency in TestRail earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
- Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
- Fun-loving problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
The fast-growing minds at Mastercard have made Durham, NC an unlikely hub for serious Change Management and API Testing work. A manager title opens doors here, but earning real trust is what keeps them open.
We deliver $106,000 - $167,000, comprehensive benefits, and a development culture where curiosity and goal-oriented ambition are rewarded.
Reposted with today's stamp, the Durham, NC opening still needs filling.
We're looking for the person who reads technology job posts and thinks I could fix that.
