• Suggest and evaluate new technologies and tools to assist the QA Team and the overall Technical Product Organization

• Be a key stakeholder in release readiness validation; be empowered to prevent immature software from premature release

What you’ll bring:

• 5+ years of professional experience in web application testing
• Strong command of QA processes, testing methodologies, and best practices, with a track record of championing quality standards across all phases of product development
