  • Finding creative, practical ways to improve testing efficiency, reliability, and coverage
  • Communicating test strategies, risks, and outcomes clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Working effectively in CI/CD-driven environments
  • Bringing a proactive mindset and a strong commitment to continuous learning and team improvement

YOU'LL HAVE AN ADVANTAGE IF YOU HAVE:
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools and integrating testing into delivery pipelines
  • Experience leading QA or automation efforts and mentoring others in automation best practices
  • A software development background that strengthens your approach to test automation
  • Certifications in quality assurance, test automation, or agile methodologies

THE TEAM:
  • You'll join a high-performing, collaborative team focused on driving smart, fast growth across the buyer-to-customer journey. We are data-driven, hypothesis-led, and deeply committed to continuous learning. We move quickly, stay close to our market, and focus on maximizing both outcomes and learnings from every effort
  • We value transparency, curiosity, humility, and execution. We test boldly, learn quickly, and build on what works. Above all, we care about results, work well together, and are excited to build something exceptional in a category-defining company

We are an equal opportunity employer, and we are an organization that values diversity. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates, including minorities and persons with disabilities.
