Why we are hiring
The number of Autify users is steadily growing. As a result, the environment that Autify has to deal with is becoming increasingly diverse, features are becoming more complex, and the release cycle is getting faster. While our engineering team is full of excellent members, their to-do list is growing. We want the team to focus on carrying out their projects and provide high-quality features quickly, so we’ve decided to take some tasks off their plate: project management and cross-team communication. That’s why we are hiring a Technical Program Manager.
Responsibilities
When it comes to software development, many still believe there is always a tradeoff between speed and quality. At Autify, we think it’s possible to maximize development speed while maintaining quality through test automation. We evangelize this idea to our clients and also need to make this idea possible inside of Autify itself. You will be the key person for this.
You will exercise discretion to maximize the performance of our talented team members who come from all over the world. It’s a rewarding position that allows you and your team to contribute to accelerating the evolution of cutting-edge fields.

About Autify
Autify, Inc. is a start-up company founded in San Francisco by a team of engineers who were the first Japanese team to graduate from the top US accelerator Alchemist Accelerator. With the mission to increase creativity with the power of tech, we develop and provide Autify, an AI-based software test automation platform.
Markets are changing rapidly, and there is a demand for quick software releases. Agile development has become mainstream; on a global scale, 92% of developer teams adopt agile development, 71% of which aim to release at least once a week. With such a rapid cycle, manual verification is too time-consuming, and there is an urgent need for automation. Our services can solve these critical challenges and make our clients a competitive advantage in software development.
Over 300 companies have begun using their service since its official release in October 2019, and that number is continuing to grow.
QA’s global budget is said to reach over $1 trillion. We are rapidly expanding our service reach internationally to win this vast global market.
