You will lead testing initiatives across front-end, APIs, and data pipelines, automate with Playwright using Python/TypeScript, and mentor teammates to raise quality standards. Remote-friendly within the US, with local flexibility as needed.

Qualifications

• Experience leading testing initiatives end-to-end and defining success criteria.

Responsibilities

• Test across the stack. Design and execute tests spanning front-end UI, APIs, backend services, and data pipelines — validating transformations, service outputs, and complex logic at scale.
• Automate with intent. Make informed decisions about what, when, and how to automate. Use Playwright and scripting to build reliable, maintainable automated checks that keep pace with development.
• Mentor and grow others. Use your technical depth and quality instincts to coach teammates, raise the bar for quality standards across the team, and influence how the whole squad thinks about quality.
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Design, contribute to hiring, and invest in your own professional development.
