Quality Assurance is a critical function within Support, ensuring consistent, high-quality experiences for both our customers and the Support agents who serve them. As our products and customer base grow in scale and complexity, QA plays a key role in delivering accurate, compliant support that delivers great merchant experience, while equipping agents with clear standards and actionable feedback to grow. At the same time, advancements in AI are reshaping how quality is measured and improved, and AI will play a central part of this role and the experience we’re seeking in the candidate we hire.
