About the role

We’re looking for a passionate and driven Staff Quality Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is excited to take ownership of our quality strategy.

You’ll mentor a high-performing off-shore team of QA engineers while staying hands-on with test automation tools like Selenium or Cypress. You'll partner with engineering, product, and operations to shape how we build and ship software — faster, safer, and smarter. If you’re a technical leader who obsesses over quality, loves mentoring, and wants to make a visible impact in an eCommerce and payments-driven product, this role is your next big challenge.

• Partner closely with engineering and product teams to integrate testing early in the development cycle, ensure clear requirements, and rapidly troubleshoot issues across environments.
• Establish QA best practices and metrics, continuously improving test coverage, process efficiency, and system reliability through modern tools and methodologies.

Requirements

• Between 8 and 10 years of QA experience with a strong grasp of SDLC, Agile (Scrum/Kanban), and test-driven development practices for web applications.
• College degree in Computer Science or related field.
• Previous experience working at a startup company.
• Proficient in automated testing tools like Selenium, Cypress, or similar, with recent hands-on experience writing and maintaining test scripts.
• Skilled in functional, regression, performance (load), and security (pen) testing, with a deep understanding of modern QA methodologies.
• Strong experience with or knowledge of ecommerce and/or payments.
• Familiar with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, CircleCI), version control (e.g., Git), and bug tracking systems like Jira.
• Strong communicator and team builder with a track record of mentoring QA engineers and fostering a high-performance, collaborative culture.
• Thrives in fast-paced environments, brings a GSD mindset, and embraces the impact and ownership that come with smaller, agile teams.

• Using AI tools responsibly to accelerate research, analysis, documentation, and problem-solving.
