  • Coordinate testing efforts across multiple services and teams to ensure smooth product releases
  • Investigate defects and failures, perform root cause analysis, and advocate for API design best practices
  • Drive adoption of shift-left testing methodologies, integrating automation early in development lifecycle
  • Support ongoing maintenance and enhancement of test assets, ensuring reusability and scalability
  • Champion continuous improvement, innovation, and collaboration in Quality Engineering

Essential Requirements

  • 5+ years of software testing experience with strong focus on event-driven and API automation

  • Excellent communication skills and collaborative approach in Agile/Scrum environments

Desirable Skills
