• Contribute to testing strategies for financial transactions, regulated integrations, and third-party technology partners.

• Promote engineering patterns that increase testability across the stack.

Reliability & Observability

• Use logging, dashboards, APM, and distributed tracing to monitor release health.

• Contribute to blameless root-cause analysis and drive measurable improvements.

Qualifications:

• Data-driven mindset using metrics such as defect escape rate or DORA lead time.

• Comfortable exploring logs across any part of the stack and learning new technologies

Skills:

• Excellent communication, able to explain quality risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong analytical, investigative, and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional, multi-regional environment.

• High degree of ownership, accountability, and professional integrity.
