• 7+ years of software QA experience, including senior, lead, or equivalent responsibilities.

• Experience defining and improving QA processes, standards, governance, measures, and team practices.

• Experience leading or mentoring QA professionals; formal supervisory experience is an asset.

• Experience testing web applications, APIs, integrations, data-processing workflows, and CI/CD quality controls.

• Strong analytical, facilitation, and communication, and skills.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience with cloud services, especially Amazon Web Services, and 24/7 operational systems.
