QA Engineer IC4

As a QA Engineer (IC4), you will play a key role in delivering high-quality software solutions that meet both business and customer needs. You’ll be responsible for designing, executing, and maintaining robust testing strategies across web, mobile, and API platforms, with a strong emphasis on test automation, quality standards, and continuous improvement.

This is a senior individual contributor role, where you’ll influence quality across domain tribes, support the development of other QA engineers, and help shape best practices across the QA function — without direct line management responsibilities.
