  • Champion testing and quality: Establish, advocate for, and enforce rigorous automated testing standards and quality assurance practices across the platform.
  • Strengthen platform foundations: Develop shared core utilities, infrastructure libraries, and architectural patterns that enable fellow teammates to build faster, while collaborating seamlessly with our dedicated Design System team.

  • Infrastructure knowledge: Experience configuring, optimizing, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI).
  • Quality focus: Strong background in establishing robust automated testing strategies (unit, integration, end-to-end) and driving overall code quality.
  • Forward-thinking mindset: Experience with or a strong interest in AI-assisted development and integrating AI into engineering workflows.
