## About the Role

* Strong, hands-on TypeScript. You write test code to the same standard as production code, and you're comfortable reading a Node or Bun back end to work out what to test.

## Description

* Define the test strategy for the platform: what quality means for us, where the real risks are and where testing effort should go
 * Build and maintain cross-service end-to-end and integration suites (Playwright or similar) that gate CI and that teams trust
 * Set the quality bar with product, design and engineering, and hold it when deadlines get tight
 * Protect backward compatibility so published customer experiences keep working as features and schemas change
 * Test experiences that brands configure themselves, using contract, model-based and property-based testing
 * Validate analytics and data across PostgreSQL and MongoDB, from pipeline integrity to aggregation accuracy
 * Own visual regression and cross-browser and cross-device testing for published experiences
 * Build WCAG accessibility checks into the pipeline
 * Use AI-assisted tools to generate tests, then review and harden what they produce
