From the employer

What You’ll Do

• Holistic Quality Ownership: You own the quality of the product end-to-end. You don’t just test against a spec; you analyze the spec, find the logical gaps, and suggest improvements to ensure a better final product.
• AI-Powered Velocity: You leverage AI agents (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate your workflow, automate test coverage, and ship faster without sacrificing depth.
• Deep-Dive Analysis: You are comfortable digging into logs and monitoring tools (Datadog/Sentry) to understand why something broke. You aren't afraid to get your hands dirty in the backend to find the root cause.
• Automation at Scale: Apply your experience to build and maintain automation across both backend APIs and frontend interfaces in a very fast-paced environment.
• Product Partnership: You don't see yourself as "just a tester." You are an engineer with a product mindset who actively works to improve the systems you are checking.

Who You Are

• Experienced: 3+ years of building automation across the full stack (Frontend & Backend) preferably with experience in TypeScript.
• Crypto-Technical: You have a strong grasp of blockchain fundamentals, the end-to-end transaction lifecycle, and the logic behind DeFi protocols like staking and bridging.
