  • Design and implement the automation framework as needed, and contribute to the tests built on top of it to expand our testing effectiveness
  • Coordinate across teams to ensure preparedness for each software release
  • Assist in backlog grooming and help spot problematic areas before they enter the development cycle
  • Advocate for and exemplify the practices of team ownership of software quality

Qualifications:

  • A deep understanding of best quality practices in planning for balanced automation and exploratory testing approaches
  • Experience using relational databases
  • Experience with Git and version control best practices
  • Analytical, organizational, and time-management skills with high attention to detail
