The Opportunity
As a Senior Test Automation Engineer, you will be responsible for taking on a leading role in the QA automation of multiple Kargo products and will be integral in mentoring and guiding others. Your focus will be in our internal and self-serve web apps for buying and managing advertising campaigns.

- You will participate in architecture planning, code reviews, and learning sessions to help spread knowledge, and you will be responsible for managing/upgrading the deployment processes of the products you work with.
- You are expected to be a mentor to others on your team - both by fielding questions as well as by proactively identifying situations where more junior developers may need your help. You are the go-to engineer for advice and help from your peers.
- You will identify and initiate investigations into new technologies, prototype and test solutions for product features, and design and validate production designs that deliver exceptional user experiences
