• Write clean code, conduct code reviews, and document your work.

• Implement and promote CI/CD practices with integrated quality checks at every stage.

• Embed quality practices early in development (shift-left), enabling faster feedback and fewer downstream defects.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define test scenarios and acceptance criteria aligned with our quality strategy.

• Contribute to operational excellence through run books, incident protocols, and reliability initiatives.

• Identify opportunities to improve engineering practices proactively.

• Foster a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing across product, design, and engineering teams.

Qualifications

• A healthy curiosity, autonomy, and strong accountability.

• A desire to perform and grow as an engineer.

• 4+ years of experience testing complex applications.

• Fluency in a modern programming language (we use Typescript).

• Experience in automating API and event-driven services.

• Knowledge of modern CI/CD tools like BuildKite.

• Understanding of:

  • Cloud architecture principles.

  • Microservices and resiliency patterns.

• Experience with performance testing tools such as k6, Artillery, or Gatling.

• Experience working with AWS.

• Experience with databases (SQL or NoSQL).

• Experience with containerization tools like Docker.

• Experience with observability tools like Elastic or Sentry.

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.

Nice to have
