About The Position

This role is Hybrid based in Denver, Colorado and we’re looking for someone within a reasonable commuting distance, who can join us in the office at least 3 days a week for collaboration and connection. Quality at our organization is a shared responsibility, not a checkpoint. In this role, you will enable teams to ship faster and with greater confidence by building scalable automation, Azure DevOps workflows, and quality infrastructure that make quality measurable, observable, and embedded throughout the SDLC. You will partner across engineering, product, and quality to strengthen reliability, reduce risk, and ensure quality is proactively built into how we design, develop, and deliver our products.

Requirements

4+ years of experience with modern test automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Selenium, JUnit, TestNG).
Solid software engineering background using TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Python, or similar languages.
Proven ability to design and build scalable test frameworks, internal tooling, or shared quality platforms.
Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Azure DevOps).
Demonstrated impact on improving developer productivity, increasing release confidence, and reducing cycle time.
Strong quality engineering mindset, including shift-left testing and testability-first design.
Ability to simplify complex systems and collaborate effectively across engineering teams.
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Nice To Haves

Understanding of modern system architecture and design patterns.
Exposure to resilience, reliability, or production-quality engineering practices.
Experience with AI-assisted testing or automated test generation tools.

Responsibilities

Enable higher engineering velocity by reducing time spent on test overhead, failures, and manual troubleshooting.
Increase release confidence by reducing defects, improving reliability, and shortening delivery cycles.
Own test stability and flakiness elimination, driving root-cause fixes and predictable test outcomes.
Build scalable, maintainable automation solutions using modern frameworks and languages to support long-term efficiency.
Design and deliver self-service testing systems that allow teams to independently manage and scale quality workflows.
Embed testing seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines to accelerate time to market and improve feedback loops.
Develop internal platforms and tooling that improve developer productivity and standardize quality practices.
Champion shift-left testing practices to embed quality early and consistently across the development lifecycle.
