· Define test coverage with the team's developers and product manager from requirements, before code is written.

· Run tests, report defects, and work with developers to resolve them.

· Report on coverage, quality, and stability, and share testing practices with QA on other teams.

· Intermediate-level experience as an SDET or in a similar test automation role.

· Hands-on experience building and maintaining automated test suites in Cypress (or Playwright/Selenium with the ability to move to Cypress).

· Strong programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript; C# an asset.

· Practical experience using AI tools in a development or testing workflow.

· Experience with unit and integration test frameworks such as Jest, xUnit, or similar.

· Working knowledge of Git, CI/CD pipelines, and orchestration tools (e.g., Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps).

· Familiarity with Agile Scrum practices.

· Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

· Criminal background check required.
