- Report on release quality using defect escape rate, regression pass rate, and release cycle time.
- Lead small projects, such as automating a regression suite or improving the release checklist, including running meetings and communicating with all relevant parties.
- Proactively find and fix problems slowing the team down, and prioritize across competing releases and tasks.
- Build consensus and resolve conflicts on release timing, defect severity, and scope of testing.

Qualifications

- Strong test design: you can turn a loosely defined release into a risk-based test plan without a spec for every case.
- Hands-on experience with test automation and CI/CD pipelines (for example Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium, and GitHub Actions or similar).
- Fluency with defect tracking and test management tools, and with API testing.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including explaining technical problems to non-technical audiences.
- A proactive, self-driven approach: you ask for help early and take initiative on improvements.
Nice to Have
- Experience in a SaaS or ed tech environment.
- Accessibility testing experience.
- Experience mentoring junior QA staff.

You’ll run release-readiness and regression testing, drive defects to resolution, and make each release safer and faster than the last, working closely with Engineering, Product, and Support.
This is a senior-level individual contributor role on a small, fast-moving team. You’ll be given the goal of shipping reliably and will figure out what to test and how, then do it, resolving issues without guidance and acting to prevent them from recurring.
