  • Stay ahead of industry best practices in QA automation, performance testing, and backend technologies to drive continuous improvement.
  • Support team activities, including knowledge sharing and mentoring on testing practices.
  • Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional QA and test engineering experience, desirably on backend or platform-level software.

  • Strong problem-solving, debugging and analytical skills.
  • Excellent attention to detail, and ability to work collaboratively in a distributed and multi-cultural team environment.
  • A genuine interest in backend platforms, distributed systems and performance engineering.
  • Chicago-based, with availability for hybrid work (1-2 days in-office).
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Health Insurance, Vision Plan, and Dental Cover for you and your dependants
  • HSA & FSA
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • 401(k)
  • Remote Hybrid Working
  • Enhanced Parental Leave
