About

I build quality systems that don't just catch bugs - they help teams ship faster, safer, and with confidence. Over 12+ years, I've grown from a hands-on QA engineer to leading SDET teams and shaping quality strategy across FinTech, Payments, Lending, and Healthcare platforms. Today at MobiKwik, I manage a team of 7 SDETs across Lending, Collections, and Credit Score - driving 100% on-time releases, cutting delivery cycle time by 20%, and scaling test coverage from 60% to 80% across 15+ microservices. What I care about as a leader: • Growing SDETs into strong, independent engineers • Building quality systems that scale with the org - not against it • Partnering with Engineering, Product, and Architecture to make quality a shared responsibility • Driving shift-left, API-first, and contract testing practices that actually stick The problems I solve: slow release cycles, fragile automation, and QA practices that can't keep up with modern distributed systems. I'm looking for an Engineering Manager - QA role where I can lead larger teams, shape org-level quality strategy, and build high-performing engineering teams. Reach me at er.mayur06@gmail.com
