The ideal candidate will have a strong QA mindset to lead the quality assurance efforts on a cutting-edge project. They will have a passion for evaluating quality, problem-solving, and building unique testing solutions that ensure the success of our software products.

This is not a traditional automation QA role but one where you will leverage your development skills to architect innovative quality solutions. In this role, you will not just automate tests—you will think critically about how to build testing scripts, ensuring the system's stability, scalability, and performance. Your goal is to create an end-to-end quality strategy, working closely with developers and stakeholders to ensure that quality is at the forefront of the development process. The growth potential and opportunities here are endless and we want you to be a part of our journey. Curious what your day would look like as a QA Engineer? Check out the details below!

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, and integrating test solutions into continuous integration workflows.
• A strong developer mindset with a focus on performance, scalability, and code quality.
• Ability to work cross-functionally and collaborate effectively with other developers, product teams, and stakeholders.
