Role summary
The Security Engineering and Architecture QA team is looking for a QA Engineer to test security projects. You will design and implement test plans for security features, working closely with engineers to understand the technology and create thorough manual and automated test coverage. Responsibilities include developing and maintaining tests, debugging issues, and reporting results. The role requires strong technical skills in test automation and programming, as well as excellent communication and collaboration abilities to align stakeholders and adapt to shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Description
You will design and implement test plans for the security features developed across the Security Engineering and Architecture organization. This begins with building a deep understanding of the technology under test, working alongside the engineers who own it, and translating that understanding into thorough manual and automated coverage. You will develop and maintain the tests themselves, investigate and debug the issues they surface, and report results clearly to the teams who depend on them. The role is equally an engineering role and a collaborative one. You will write and build test tooling, and you will also spend meaningful time communicating with developers, Engineering Program Managers, and other QA engineers to shape test plans, reach agreement on approach, and keep work moving as priorities shift. Success depends on both the depth of your technical work and your ability to coordinate across teams.
