• Participate actively in architectural and design discussions to ensure new features are highly testable from day one.
• Write production-quality code to create custom testing infrastructure, utilities, and tools that improve engineering efficiency.
• Integrate your automated tests directly into our CI/CD pipelines to act as the definitive gatekeeper for production deployments.
• Act as the primary advocate for software quality, mentoring engineers on testing best practices and strategies.
• Investigate complex bugs, reproduce difficult edge cases, and collaborate closely with developers to implement lasting fixes.
• Continuously monitor test execution, improve suite performance, and identify areas to expand our overall test coverage.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field

• Strong understanding of relational databases to seed test data and validate complex state changes
• Experience writing maintainable, production-quality code for test infrastructure, custom tooling, and automated suites
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Tell us an interesting animal fact in your application
