- You'll work closely with SDETs to expand and maintain our automated test coverage for new features and regression testing. You'll also collaborate with other manual QA engineers on cross-team and cross-BU projects. Â
- You'll proactively identify and mitigate potential risks, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.Â
