Senior QA/SDET

Join a fast-growing technology environment developing an identity verification platform that helps people access essential services across healthcare, financial services, rentals, and other industries. As Senior QA/SDET, you will take ownership of quality across the full software development lifecycle, ensuring reliable performance across APIs, web and mobile SDKs, and customer-facing applications. You will build scalable automation frameworks, strengthen CI/CD quality gates, and drive comprehensive testing across functionality, performance, security, and privacy. Working closely with engineering, product, and machine learning teams, you will help identify risks early and ensure every release meets high standards of correctness and reliability. The role also places strong emphasis on AI-powered development tools to accelerate test creation, improve coverage, and streamline defect investigation. This is an opportunity to shape quality practices in a collaborative, fast-paced startup environment where product reliability and the protection of sensitive identity data are essential.
