Senior QA Engineer

A growing SaaS company in the Greater Boston area is hiring a full-time Senior QA Automation Engineer to help build and maintain the quality of a cloud-native eCommerce platform that enables enterprise organizations to optimize complex shipping and delivery operations. This role is focused on designing and implementing automated testing strategies across web applications, APIs, and cloud services while working within a Microsoft Azure environment.
