-
Debug test failures across application, infrastructure, and data layers.

Reduce flaky tests and improve signal-to-noise in CI pipelines.
-
Partner with product engineers to improve testability and confidence in production systems.
-

Mandatory Skills:
Software Engineering
-

-
Willing to experiment with AI for:
-
Test generation
-
Test refactoring
-

Basic understanding of LLMs, or strong interest in learning.
Nice to Have:
-
Experience writing tests from product specs or real user workflows.
