• Design and execute tests spanning front-end UI, APIs, backend services, and data pipelines — validating transformations, service outputs, and complex logic at scale.

• You’ve owned quality for a squad, led testing initiatives end‑to‑end, defined success criteria, and designed approaches that measurably reduce risk in production.
• You dig to root causes of complex problems, back your findings with data, and measure outcomes.
• You think critically about the user experience and let that understanding shape your testing approach.
• AI‑powered working. You actively use AI tools in your day‑to‑day workflow — for test case creation, failure diagnosis, documentation, and beyond — and look for new ways to apply them to raise the team's efficiency.
• Performance testing exposure. Familiarity with load, stress, and scalability testing concepts and tools (e.g. JMeter) for validating API and backend performance.
• Passion for or experience in Basketball, American Football or Ice Hockey — whether as an athlete, coach, or fan — and an appreciation for the unique challenges of sports technology.
• A bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience.
