  • Drive quality assurance through a mix of manual and automated testing approaches, covering integration, regression, load, and security testing scenarios
  • Establish robust defect management processes, including thorough documentation and tracking systems
  • Take ownership of issue resolution by working directly with engineering teams to investigate, reproduce, and resolve complex technical challenges

Our client's team works in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. This role is not your typical 9-to-5; we are seeking a meticulous QA professional who excels in delivering world-class quality for crypto products while collaborating with a small, senior team.

Please submit your resume, portfolio, GitHub profile, or examples of previous QA projects, especially those involving cryptocurrency, trading, or large-scale production applications.
