Description
About the Role:
Tubi is one of the largest free streaming platforms in the US, serving a large-scale streaming audience across Web, iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and game consoles. Quality at this scale isn't a checkbox — it's a competitive advantage.
We're looking for an Automation Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for building and operating Tubi's multi-platform test automation infrastructure. You will own the strategy, tooling, and execution quality across our client surfaces — from video playback and ad delivery to content discovery and onboarding.
This role is for a hands-on technical leader who can set direction, influence cross-functional roadmaps, and stay close enough to the code to guide architecture, review critical implementation decisions, and unblock complex technical issues. You will build a team that ships reliable automation at speed — and you will help the team move toward AI-native automation practices: fluent in AI tooling, proactive about applying it, and disciplined about using it responsibly.
This is a hybrid role based out of either our San Francisco or Toronto office. You must be willing to travel to either location at least 2 days a week.
What You'll Do:
Test Strategy & Quality Planning
Define and own Tubi's multi-platform automation strategy — covering Web, iOS, Android, CTV (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Smart TVs, game consoles), and API layers.
Establish testing standards, coverage targets, and quality gate policies across the CI/CD pipeline to protect release confidence and production reliability.
Design specialized test strategies for business-critical scenarios: video playback (HLS/DASH), ad insertion, content recommendation surfaces, and user authentication flows.
Use AI-assisted analysis (e.g., failure pattern clustering, test gap detection) to continuously improve test strategy based on real production signal and defect trends — not gut instinct.
Automation Framework & Infrastructure
Lead the design and maintenance of scalable, cross-platform automation frameworks built for Tubi's unique device matrix and streaming use cases.
Ensure automation suites are reliable, fast, and integrated as quality gates in CI/CD — owning execution health, not just test coverage numbers.
Continuously build and evolve AI-augmented engineering workflows/system that fundamentally change how the team creates, maintains, and improves automation — going beyond adopting existing tools to designing new patterns, custom integrations, and repeatable practices that raise the team's output ceiling.
Own the team's AI capability growth: identify high-leverage AI applications in the automation lifecycle (e.g., AI-assisted test case generation, intelligent flaky cases detection, regression root cause summarization), prototype them, and codify them into team standards.
Evaluate and selectively adopt emerging testing tools and AI-for-testing innovations. Translate promising external ideas into concrete, team-specific workflows, and make sure adoption leads to measurable improvements in speed, reliability, and engineering quality.
Team Leadership & Growth
Manage and grow a team of automation engineers: set clear individual goals, run regular 1:1s, create concrete career development plans, and hold a high bar for technical execution.
Actively mentor engineers on AI-augmented engineering practices — including prompt engineering, AI-assisted debugging, and responsible review of AI-generated code — so that AI becomes a multiplier, not a shortcut.
Drive consistent AI tool adoption across the team; share workflows and learnings org-wide to spread impact beyond the immediate team.
Foster a culture of continuous improvement: encourage experimentation, normalize blameless retrospectives, and track team health alongside delivery metrics.
