- Developing complex end-to-end automated testing solutions with integration in CI/CD environments.
- Creating and documenting detailed, comprehensive, and well-structured test plans and test cases to assess software quality.
- Executing quality, usability, regression, and performance testing on both frontend and backend components.
- Identifying the metrics that track the continuous improvement of our overall quality.
- You have at least 5 years of experience designing, implementing, running, manual and automated tests for web and distributed systems.
- You have a solid understanding of the quality assurance processes and best practices in software development.
- Hands-on experience with automation testing frameworks, for both frontend and backend components, such as Mocha, Supertest, Cypress and Postman.
- You care deeply about building a world-class engineering team.
- You are passionate about improving your skills and learning new technologies.
- You enjoy influencing others.
