• Define and enforce pipeline standards:
  • what runs on every PR
  • what gates a merge vs. a deploy
  • how test results are surfaced to engineers
• Build scalable test automation frameworks for integration and end-to-end testing of distributed systems.
• Expand test coverage across the test pyramid, with emphasis on integration/E2E layers that are hardest to maintain.
• Partner with engineers to instrument services with automated tests and wire them into CI.
• Debug and improve: analyze flaky tests, slow pipelines, and production incidents to improve coverage, reliability, and release confidence.
• Maintain test plans, quality metrics, and documentation.
• Advocate for automated testing and continuous quality improvement.
• Participate in on-call rotations and maintain strong operational standards.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience testing web-based applications.
• Demonstrated hands-on ownership of CI/CD pipelines (design, maintain, improve). GitHub Actions strongly preferred.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals with proficiency in Python and SQL; comfortable reading and contributing to TypeScript/React.
• Experience building/maintaining automation frameworks across frontend, backend, and database layers.
• Experience with web automation tools such as Playwright, Selenium, or BrowserStack.
• Deep understanding of test pyramid strategy and applying it in fast release cycles.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and independent execution.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

Nice to Have / Bonuses

• Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (coding agents, LLM-driven review, AI debugging) with a security/robustness mindset.
• Experience with Renew Home stack: Python, FastAPI, React, Remix, PostgreSQL, Nx, AWS (Lambda/S3/Aurora), GCP Pub/Sub, Prefect, dbt.
