- Address technical gaps and automation initiatives between geographically distributed teams, vendors, and agencies to deliver high-quality products
- Own feature-level test planning and execution, using a mix of manual and technical testing skills to analyze product quality
- Generate analysis of outstanding defects, recommend new testing areas, and prioritize fixes
- Report and track data quality to drive discussions around product quality and development health, support developers before, during, and after deployments, and manage incoming defects autonomously
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of experience in Quality Assurance
- Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, C#, Python, or Java
- Ability to confidently collaborate with senior members on technical topics and features
- Ability to assess scope and requirements and help drive project timeline/milestones/plans
