About The Position

As a Senior QA Engineer at iBusiness.ai, you will play a key role in helping delivery teams build and release high-quality software with confidence. This is a senior individual contributor role within the QA organization, suited to experienced QA professionals who operate with a high degree of independence, sound judgement, and strong quality expertise. You will work closely with Product Managers, Engineering Leads, Developers, and QA colleagues to identify quality risks, improve testing effectiveness, and support successful delivery outcomes. You will contribute to planning, testing, quality discussions, and delivery activities across your supported product area while helping QA Managers deliver effective quality outcomes through informed recommendations, strong execution, and trusted quality expertise.
