• Collaborating with developers, product owners, and stakeholders to define test strategies for new features and services, identifying risk areas and recommending appropriate test approaches.
• Developing and executing performance, load, and stress tests to validate system behavior under expected and peak conditions, and surface bottlenecks before they reach production.
• Analyzing test failures and production incidents to identify root causes, improve test coverage in gap areas, and implement long-term preventive measures to reduce regression risk.

What you can expect from us

• Opportunity to build high-leverage features for the core business domains that directly impacts the travel experience for millions of users.
