ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a skilled and driven Senior QA Engineer to help elevate the quality and reliability of our security platform services. In this role, you will contribute to build robust automated testing frameworks, ensure test coverage across critical workflows, and partner with engineering and DevOps teams to embed quality across the software development lifecycle.

  • Collaborate with developers, SREs, and product managers to define quality standards, acceptance criteria, and test plans.
  • Troubleshoot, debug, and isolate failures in complex distributed systems.
  • Participate in code and test reviews, offering feedback to ensure quality-first engineering practices.
  • Maintain test data, environment configurations, and test mocks/stubs for stable test execution.
  • Promote observability and test analytics (e.g., test logs, test coverage reports, flaky test tracking).
