What will you do?

Build, own and drive the testing and automation efforts across browsers, devices, regions and user states to ensure that an A/B experiment is functional and thus, that the actionable insight the experiment is providing is valid.

Additionally, a key part of the role will be to develop strategies for improving the coverage and speed of test cycle execution through effective use of tools including automation and analysis tools, and monitoring the performance and pagespeed impact of a given experiment.

Ideally, a candidate for this position can help assist in the analysis of experiments.

  • Provide needed input efficiently on QA activities
  • Create and Review QA project artifacts including Test Plans, Test Scripts and project strategies
  • Establish close working relationships with development teams
  • Manage risks and resolves issues that affect release scope, schedule and quality

What do you bring: skills and aptitudes
  • Strong collaborative instincts and interpersonal skills; must enjoy and work well with a wide variety of stakeholders in a complex organization
  • At least 3 years of experience in software testing methodologies and processes in an agile environment
  • Knowledge of Cypress, Javascript, React is a big plus
