  • Advocate for Shift-Left Testing, ensuring defects are caught early in the development cycle.
  • Share knowledge and mentor team members on test automation strategies, best practices, and quality assurance methodologies.
  • Continuously improve the efficiency and reliability of our test suites by eliminating flaky tests and optimizing execution speed.


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in QA with a strong focus on test automation.
  • Proficiency in TypeScript and hands-on experience with Playwright.
  • Strong understanding of backend and frontend testing for complex software systems.
  • Experience working with databases and data warehouses, for instance Databricks, Postgres, MongoDB.
  • Experience with API testing, integration testing, and UI automation.
  • Hands-on experience with monitoring tools like Datadog for detecting and analyzing system issues.
  • Strong collaboration skills and ability to work across multiple teams.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with ability to work in ambiguous environments.
  • Experience mentoring and sharing knowledge on automation and testing best practices.


Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with data validation, AI/ML testing, and ensuring data pipeline accuracy.Experience with contract testing (e.g., Pact, WireMock) for API and data interactions.
  • Exposure to performance testing and system monitoring.
  • Prior experience working in a dedicated QA team in a high-growth tech environment.
