  • Cloud & API Testing: Hands-on experience building functional and performance automation for backend cloud environments and mobile apps.
  • Bonus Skills: Hands-on experience with Playwright automation and implementing AI tools within the testing domain.

Position Details & Work Environment

  • Work Setting: 100% On-site in Foster City, CA (5 days/week in office).
  • Facility Requirements: Ability to complete background checks and facility compliance requirements.
