Your Role

We’re hiring a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to join our Core Video & Data team, where quality work supports the platform athletes and coaches rely on to train, compete and improve. You’ll work at the intersection of video, data and AI, and you’ll have a real voice in how we define “done.”

As a Senior QA Engineer, you’ll:

• Lead quality in your squad: As an integral part of a cross-functional team across Engineering, Product, Design, and Scrum, you will guide quality-focused conversations in sprint ceremonies. You will partner with stakeholders to explain how defects affect users and advocate for the right priority on backlog defects before they enter a sprint.
• Shape our quality strategy: You will use your customer and system understanding to build a risk-based testing approach tailored to our video and data platform architecture. You will measure quality to help define when a project is truly complete and validate your improvements with real, data-backed results.
• Test at scale and automate: Aligning our processes with development speed, you will make informed decisions on what, how, and when to automate versus when to rely on manual testing. You will lead large testing efforts, bringing your knowledge of our users into every test plan.
• Own it from day one: Your squad will count on you to set the quality bar for the work you’re part of, not simply to maintain someone else’s checklist. You will drive measurable improvements in both product quality and delivery velocity.
