Help define and enforce QA standards, best practices and coverage criteria across engineering teams
Lead risk-based test planning and prioritization for complex, multi-service releases
Mentor junior and mid-level QA engineers through code reviews, pairing and documentation
Advocate for testability in design reviews and sprint planning — shifting quality left
Drive cross-functional QA initiatives, tooling evaluations and process improvements org-wide
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
5+ years of QA engineering experience with a strong automation focus
Deep hands-on expertise with Cypress, Playwright or a comparable modern test automation framework

Strong grasp of testing methodologies: unit, integration, end-to-end, regression, exploratory and performance testing
Excellent debugging skills and ability to diagnose failures across full-stack systems
BONUS POINTS IF
Experience with enterprise SaaS or AI/ML-powered products
Familiarity with performance/load testing tools such as k6 or JMeter
