- Execute automated test suites, analyze results, and identify defects and performance bottlenecks
- Build and maintain test data and test environments that keep testing activities moving
- Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and sprint planning to drive testability and quality into features from day one
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, and deployment processes
- Investigate and troubleshoot production issues, identify root causes, and propose solutions
- Stay current on industry trends, best practices, and emerging test automation tools and techniques

- Experience building test frameworks from scratch
- Performance and load testing at scale
Education:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
What Makes a Strong Candidate
- A build-it mindset frameworks, not one-off scripts
- Comfort moving between the code, the pipeline, and the database
- Clear communication with developers, QA, and product teams
- A bias toward catching issues early rather than firefighting in production
