• Partner closely with software, embedded, infrastructure, and product teams throughout the development lifecycle
• Establish QA processes, tooling, and best practices from the ground up
• Build scalable CI/CD-integrated testing pipelines and quality gates
• Identify gaps in system reliability, test coverage, and release validation processes
• Debug, reproduce, and document software and system-level defects across complex environments
• Help define quality metrics, monitoring standards, and release readiness criteria
• Advocate for quality engineering practices across the organization

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in Software QA, Quality Engineering, or SDET roles
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
