This person will work closely with our Lead SRE and must be comfortable making decisions and choosing tools that will form the foundation for our testing architecture.

Set up and integrate CI tools into our Rails application (BuildKite, KnapsackPro, some new tool you would recommend!)

Develop and implement a QA workflow with the team (i.e. smoke testing, regression testing procedures, etc.)

Establish a sustainable QA culture in the team. We believe testing and reliability are everyone’s responsibility, not just those in QA.
