Senior Engineering Manager - Quality

We don t think about job roles in a traditional way. We are anti-silo. Anti-career stagnation. Anti-conventional.

Beyond ONE is a digital services provider radically reshaping the personalized digital ecosystems of consumers in high-growth markets around the world. We re building a digital services aggregator platform, with a strong telco foundation, and a profitable growth strategy that empowers users to drive their own experience subscribe once, source from many, and only pay for what you actually use.

Since being founded in 2021, we ve acquired Virgin Mobile MEA, Friendi Mobile MEA and Virgin Mobile LATAM (with 6.5 million subscribers) and 1600 dedicated colleagues across Chile, Colombia, KSA, Kuwait, Mexico, Oman and UAE.

To disrupt for good takes a rebellious spirit, a questioning mind, and a warm heart. We really care about how to get things done and not who manages who. We benefit from our diversity, and together, we disrupt the way we and others think about our lives for good.

Ready to shape the future of quality engineering with AI-first innovation from day one? This might just be the place for you.
