Responsibilities

What You Will Do

  • Own and evolve the team's quality strategy across functional, integration, API, and end-to-end testing.
  • Design, implement, and maintain automated test coverage using established frameworks and practices.
  • Partner with engineers and product managers — from refinement through release — to identify risk, sharpen acceptance criteria, and build quality into every stage of delivery.
  • Test complex workflows spanning distributed services, asynchronous processing, APIs, and web applications.
  • Investigate production issues and customer-reported defects; translate findings into regression coverage and process improvements.
  • Raise quality risks early and advocate for pragmatic solutions that protect the customer experience.
  • Improve test reliability, execution speed, observability, and developer feedback loops.
  •  

    What You Will Bring

  • Experience with Python and pytest for test automation.
  • Experience with modern testing frameworks and automation practices.
  • Strong API testing experience.
  • The ability to build test strategies for ambiguous, cross-service, or high-risk changes.
  • A self-directed working style — you take initiative, drive investigations to completion, and know when to pull others in.
  • Clear, direct communication and comfort influencing decisions across engineering and product teams.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, test reporting, and test environment management.
  • Nice to Have

  • GraphQL experience.
  • Familiarity with Go testing ecosystems.
  • Hands-on experience with Playwright.
