As a Senior Quality Engineer in Quality Infrastructure at StackAdapt, you'll lead the design and implementation of critical testing infrastructure projects that enhance our engineering velocity and product reliability. You'll collaborate with QE, product engineering, and DevOps teams to build robust testing systems and frameworks that enable engineers to develop and deploy with confidence. You'll work closely with team leads and architects to deliver scalable testing solutions based on data-driven insights.
Today, our engineering teams rely on our QE infrastructure to maintain quality at scale while enabling rapid development cycles. We're evolving from reactive testing to predictive quality engineering, and you'll play a key role in building the systems that power this transformation!
