About the role
- Design, implement, and maintain test frameworks for our UI, browser extensions, endpoint agent, or backend services - you'll need to apply yourself wherever QA is needed
- Build and run cross-platform tests on Windows, macOS, and Linux - set up test environments to validate our endpoint agent doesn't break user systems
- Expand, run, and investigate load tests to validate system behaviour at scale and ensure we can handle growth
- Investigate bugs, write failing tests, get them fixed - write tests that expose the issue, fix it yourself if you can, or partner with engineers to verify the fix
- Integrate tests into CI/CD - add tests to GitLab CI pipelines, set up quality gates and detailed test reports, keep tests fast and reliable
- Monitor, triage, and improve - file detailed bugs in Jira, escalate critical issues quickly, track test coverage, shape the QA roadmap
