*THIS ROLE IS NO LONGER LIVE*
We are looking for a passionate Senior QA engineer who can talk to us about real world problems that they have solved. You should be able to demonstrate an interest in new and emerging technologies and be eager to take on new challenges. You need to be able to work in a collaborative manner with colleagues across multiple office locations on different time zones.
We need a Senior QA Engineer who has both breadth and depth of knowledge, taking responsibility for test strategy and execution as well as coordinating the activities of other QA engineers in remote teams. The successful candidate will have developed a knack for discovering corner cases as well as potentially risky code. They will take satisfaction from discovering problems with the design, long before it becomes an issue for the users.
