• Quality & Accessibility: Champion software quality by overseeing test automation efforts (e.g., Cypress) and ensuring compliance with modern software accessibility standards (WCAG).
• Cultivate Excellence: Foster a culture of technical rigor, deep ownership, and continuous improvement across both Dev and QA disciplines.
• What Makes This Role Special
• Youll build systems that actively reduce enterprise blast radius.
• Your work will be central to zero-trust and least-privilege enforcement at scale.
• Youll operate at the absolute core of identity, authorization, and security automation for some of the world's largest organizations.
