In this role, you will:

• Drive the software quality assurance lifecycle within our Agile process, from end to end test strategy design to timely release execution.
• Develop and maintain test automation frameworks, executing thorough automated tests, including UI and functional tests on real devices and emulators.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to prioritize and test new features, focusing on optimal test coverage and high-quality outcomes.
• Review and analyze test results, report and track issues, and enhance automated CI flows.
• Stay current with industry trends in test automation and contribute to team growth through mentoring.

We would love to hear from you if:

• You hold a BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or have equivalent work experience with a strong technical background.
• You have 5+ years of experience in QA automation or software development, with proficiency in Java, Python, JavaScript, and SQL.
• You excel in a team environment and possess excellent communication skills.
• You show expertise in creating and maintaining end-to-end functional tests, including mobile and web application testing.
• You are skilled in Git, familiar with CI tools like Jenkins and GitLab, and experienced with automated testing tools such as Selenium and Cypress, as well as frameworks like Postman, Appium, and JUnit.
• You possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, understand Agile methodologies, SDLC principles, and microservices architecture, and can write clean, maintainable, and scalable code.

We'd be particularly thrilled if you bring startup experience or have worked in the AI, ML, voice, or search technology domains.
