Head of QA Automation

For many of us there’s that one podcast we never miss, and video content is part of our daily routine, whether it’s professional or personal. But how many of us truly understand the effort that goes on behind the scenes? Here at Riverside, we know it well. That’s exactly why we built an AI-powered platform that helps content creators, podcasters, marketeers, and more at major brands like Netflix, Disney, Google, and Microsoft to create high-quality content with ease.

Riverside’s technology streamlines the entire content creation process, turning ideas into professional-grade content with the highest production standards, without requiring expensive equipment or external services. The secret? AI-driven tools that replace traditional production roles like editing, directing, and design, automating the entire process at the click of a button.

About the Engineering Team

We’re a team of smart, curious engineers building scalable, reliable systems that power content creation for millions. We work with modern web technologies, tackle real-world challenges in distributed systems, and keep things practical—no overengineering, just solid solutions. If you love solving tough problems, moving fast, and building tech that creators actually use, you’ll fit right in.

As we scale, we are looking for a Head of QA Automation to lead the transformation of our testing infrastructure, moving from manual QA processes to a robust, modern, and scalable automation-first approach.

On your day to day:

As Head of QA Automation at Riverside, you will lead the shift from manual to automated testing across all platforms, backend, frontend, mobile, and audio/video. You'll define quality standards, implement automation tools suited to our stack (React, Node.js, WebRTC), and integrate testing into our CI/CD pipelines. Working closely with engineering, product, and DevOps, you’ll mentor QA team members and drive a culture of speed, coverage, and quality.

What will make you stand out:

6+ years of experience in QA, with at least 4 years focused on test automation.
Proven experience leading the shift from manual to automated testing in a fast-paced tech company.
Strong hands-on automation experience using Playwright with a background in JavaScript/TypeScript
Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how to integrate testing workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI).
Excellent communication and leadership skills, able to collaborate cross-functionally and drive change.
Proven ability to lead and align distributed teams and cross-functional stakeholders without direct management authority.

Bottom line? If you wanna take part in transforming how people and businesses share their stories globally, Riverside’s your place. The work is challenging, the culture is fast-paced, and the people are exceptionally brilliant. And if that’s not enough, we guarantee that your ideas will genuinely make an impact.
