We are seeking a Senior QA Automation Engineer on the team to architect and build test automation infrastructure, tooling, and agentic solutions to increase engineering productivity.

Build demos in a timely manner, gather feedback from the teams who'd use it, and iterate through successive versions until it's hardened, monitored, and running with matured quality. • Identify gap areas in existing frameworks and tools, and iterate toward solutions that close them. What We Look For: • 5-7+ years building production software, with demonstrated depth across test infrastructure, test frameworks, and developer tooling, and working knowledge of platform engineering. • Proven track record building agentic solutions and test automation frameworks from the ground up — designed, shipped, iterated on, and adopted as part of how other engineers work. • Fluency with agentic coding tools as part of your daily workflow: ability to orchestrate multiple agents to execute, review agent-generated PRs. • Hands-on experience with micro-services, Kubernetes and managing deployment lifecycle • Ability to take an ambiguous problem statement to a scoped, defensible solution independently.
