What We're Looking For

- Engineers who treat automation as production-quality software.

- Strong focus on backend, data, event-processing, and system reliability testing.

- Ability to independently own test coverage, defect investigation, and quality validation.

- Strong collaboration skills with developers, architects, and QA teams.
