• Create comprehensive test plans to ensure coverage aligns with product requirements.
• Work closely with Software Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers throughout the development lifecycle.
• Identify, document, and drive the resolution of software defects.
• Investigate issues and validate fixes using logs, monitoring, and error tracking tools (e.g., Datadog, Dash0).
• Improve the reliability and maintainability of automated tests within our CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to QA best practices, engineering processes, and release quality.

Nice to have

• Experience working in a microservice-based architecture.
