If you live at the intersection of code, quality, and CI/CD pipelines and you’d rather automate the problem than retest it manually this is your seat.

  • 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

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
