SpryPoint is modernizing how utilities serve their communities. As a high-growth software company, we're shaking up the status quo in the utility industry with the first and only truly cloud-native customer service and operations platform purpose-built for modern utilities.
Founded by industry veterans in 2011, we've grown from a profitable startup to a rapidly scaling company of 300+ employees serving 100+ utility clients across North America and the Caribbean. Our mission is simple: utility leaders should expect more from their technology providers.

Backed by strategic investment from Norwest Venture Partners since 2023, and an exciting new investment partnership from Insight Partners announced in 2026, we're accelerating our growth while staying true to our core values: lead with kindness, vision with impact, radical honesty, bold disruption, keep it simple, and execute with excellence.
Join our award-winning team in transforming an essential industry that powers communities across the Americas.
We are standing up a dedicated QA automation function, and we're looking for a QA Engineering Manager to build and lead it from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to shape a quality practice from scratch: you'll choose the tooling, set the standards, hire the team, and define how AI fits into how we test. This is a hands-on, player-coach role. You'll split your time roughly 50/50 between leading the team and doing the work yourself: setting direction, hiring, and coaching on one side, and writing automated tests, building framework components, and reviewing code on the other. You'll lead by example and stay close enough to the code to make sound calls and earn the trust of the engineers you lead. In your first 90 days, you'll start with discovery: partnering with our Principal AI Engineer and AI team to understand existing AI tools and practices, and working with engineering teams to understand current QA practices and define how QA and engineering will collaborate going forward. In parallel, you'll confirm prerequisites (environments, CI/CD, critical user journeys), select your tooling and framework, and stand up a proof-of-concept suite on the highest-risk flows. By the end of year one, you'll have delivered a working, trusted automation suite on critical flows, a small high-performing team, a quality metrics dashboard in active use, and a clear plan for AI adoption.
