• Support quality validation across mission critical EVO features where stability and accuracy are essential.
• Analyze test failures, partner with engineering teams on root cause analysis, and support timely resolution.
• Promote strong automation and quality engineering practices within the EVO engineering team.

Job Requirements:

• 6+ years of experience in QA engineering with a strong focus on automation for enterprise applications.

• Experience integrating automated test execution into CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or similar tools.
• Experience testing applications deployed on cloud platforms such as Azure.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively within cross functional teams supporting complex enterprise systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with service oriented or modular system architectures.
• Experience with parallel execution and grid-based setups such as Selenium Grid.
• Prior exposure to hospitality, travel, or reservation-based systems is a plus.

What We Offer You:

• Highly competitive compensation plan.
• Salary range $150,000 - $175,000 annually determined by a myriad of factors including, but not limited to, years of experience, depth of experience, and other relevant business considerations.
