Reporting to the Director, Quality Assurance, the Senior QA Engineer will join a squad (engineers and a product manager) that owns core identity and account systems powering the product, ensuring users can securely access and move through the platform. You'll bring technical expertise, a leadership mindset, and a commitment to continuous improvement to drive quality engineering through scalable test automation and API validation. You will own quality for the squad's work, develop a deep understanding of the surface area to advocate for customers, and evolve critical automation infrastructure, with particular focus on our Playwright-based testing framework.
As a Senior QA Engineer, you will work independently on business-critical projects and lead QA efforts for complex, high-stakes initiatives. This squad's systems sit upstream of login, access, and data sync for every user on the platform, so reliability here has outsized impact. Your contributions are measurable at the company level: faster and more reliable delivery cycles, earlier defect detection, fewer production regressions, and greater confidence in release quality. Whether through advancing automation coverage, refining test strategy, or scaling tooling, your work helps teams ship with greater speed and fewer surprises.
