About Storable

Storable builds SaaS products that power the self‑storage industry end‑to‑end. Our platform spans facility management, websites, payments, CRM, and AI‑driven experiences. Reliability, quality, and speed are critical to the operators who depend on us.

Role Summary

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager, Test to lead our shift‑left quality transformation across Storable’s engineering organization. This role is responsible for building and operating enterprise‑scale testing platforms and enablement programs that move quality earlier in the SDLC, increase automation, and improve reliability for our multi‑tenant SaaS products.

You will lead an engineering team focused on:

• Test platforming – shared frameworks, tooling, and infrastructure for functional, integration, performance, and reliability testing.
• Shift‑left enablement – embedding testing into design, coding, and CI/CD workflows so product teams can ship with confidence.
• Change management – driving adoption of new practices and tools across diverse teams at varying levels of engineering maturity.

This is a hands‑on people and technical leadership role, ideal for someone who has led test/platform or SRE/DevOps teams and thrives in high‑growth, mid‑maturity SaaS environments.

What You’ll Own

Strategy & Leadership

• Define and own the shift‑left testing strategy across engineering, in partnership with product, platform, SRE, and security.
• Build and lead a high‑performing test platform/enablement team (engineering managers, senior ICs, SDETs).
• Translate business and reliability goals into a clear roadmap for quality platforms, tooling, and practices.
• Establish and track quality and reliability KPIs (e.g., defect escape rate, flaky test rate, MTTR, change fail rate, performance SLOs).

Test Platform & Tooling

• Design and evolve enterprise‑scale testing platforms supporting:
• API and service‑level testing
• Contract and integration testing
• UI/E2E automation where it adds leverage
• Performance, load, and resilience testing
• Partner with SRE/DevOps to integrate testing deeply into CI/CD pipelines, including:
• Gating and quality thresholds
• Test orchestration and parallelization
• Environment and test‑data management
• Provide opinionated, self‑service tooling and templates for teams using Python, Java, and Go in a microservices / multi‑tenant SaaS environment.

Reliability, Resilience & Performance

• Work closely with SRE and product engineering to design for reliability and resilience, not just test for it.
• Establish practices and tooling for:
• Performance and capacity testing at service and system levels
• Fault injection / chaos experiments for critical paths
• Regression detection tied to SLOs and error budgets
• Ensure test platforms integrate with observability (logs, metrics, traces) for faster triage and better signal‑to‑noise.

Shift‑Left Enablement & Change Management

• Lead change management for new testing practices, frameworks, and workflows across many teams.
• Build and run enablement programs: standards, playbooks, training, office hours, and guilds/communities of practice.
• Coach engineering managers and tech leads on testability, design for quality, and pragmatic automation strategies.
• Identify and remove systemic blockers to shift‑left (environments, data, tooling, ownership, incentives).

People & Operational Excellence

• Hire, grow, and mentor engineering managers and senior ICs in test, platform, or SRE disciplines.
• Build a cultu
