Senior Quality Engineer

As our Senior Quality Engineer, you're hands-on with functional testing, not just reviewing what others find. You don't just "check for bugs" at the end. You're an active participant in the design process, ensuring quality is baked in from the first conversation.
How you'll make an impact
- The 3 Amigos: Actively participate in "3 Amigos" sessions with Product and Engineering to define clear, testable success criteria before a single line of code is written.
- Hands-on Functional Testing: Get into the product yourself — exploratory and functional testing across the front-end.
- Quality Gates: Help us establish and manage practical quality gates that prevent regressions without slowing down delivery.
- The Signal in the Noise: Lead the triage of test results. You'll distinguish between Test Failures, Technical Application Failures, and Failures Against Business Logic, ensuring the team spends time fixing what actually matters.
- Coaching & Team Culture: Help build a testing mindset across the team — sharing what you find, why it matters, and how to test smarter, not just reporting from the sidelines.
- Practical Metrics: Establish lean, testing-specific metrics that help us understand our risk and velocity, avoiding "reports for the sake of reports."
What we're looking for
Required
- Hands-on Tester: Proven experience as a functional tester who tests the product yourself, not just someone who writes test plans for others to execute.
- Comfortable Flying Solo: Experience being the sole tester in a team, owning quality end-to-end.
- Logic over Documentation: You prefer participating in a design session to writing a 50-page test approach that no one will read.
- Analytical Triage: The ability to look at 100 failed tests and quickly filter the critical business logic breaks from the minor environment blips.
- Collaborative Spirit: Experience working in Agile environments where you aren't a silo, but a partner to developers and product owners.
- Communication: The ability to explain why a release is or isn't ready in terms of business risk, not just technical jargon.
Nice to have
- Shift-Left Experience: A track record of moving testing “up the stream” to the requirements phase.
