### Responsibilities:

- Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans and test cases for new and existing features.

- Identify ambiguities or gaps in product specifications and propose improvements to ensure testability.

- Automate key scenarios using our Playwright-based test framework (TypeScript), with a focus on reliability and maintainability.

- Perform manual exploratory testing, particularly for complex, high-impact features or areas with low automation ROI.

- Analyze and communicate test results, triaging issues with clear, actionable insights.

- Maintain and evolve testing standards, procedures, and documentation.

- Set up and manage testing environments to mirror production usage patterns.

- Investigate customer-reported issues, including log analysis (e.g., from Datadog/Grafana), reproduction steps, and severity assessment.

- Collaborate with developers and product managers to drive quality from feature design through release.

- Contribute to release decisions with risk assessments and test coverage summaries.

- Partner with cross-functional teams to elevate quality across the SDLC.

- Identify and advocate for opportunities to expand test coverage across the organization.

### Qualifications:

- BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent technical experience.

- 5+ years of experience in software QA within SaaS, preferably in customer engagement or contact center platforms.

- Strong track record in creating and executing both manual and automated test strategies.

- Proficiency in automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress) and modern development workflows.

- Deep understanding of QA methodologies, processes, and CI/CD practices.

- Attention to detail with a bias toward risk-based testing.

- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, including backend and frontend issue investigation.

- Ability to think like an end-user and test accordingly, especially when product requirements are minimal or evolving.

- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to constructively advocate for quality.

- Experience mentoring peers or contributing to testing infrastructure is a plus.

### Compensation:
