- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated build tools
- Experience with source control (Git preferred)
- Experience with browser automation tools and handling non-standard browser behaviors
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks specifically for creative editing interfaces, including canvas-based interactions, drag-and-drop functionality, visual rendering validation, and non-standard browser APIs.
- Build testing strategies that validate both functional correctness and visual output, including pixel-perfect rendering, responsive design behaviors, and complex user interactions unique to creative tools.
- Embed testing into the development process by collaborating with developers on unit tests, integration tests, and code reviews.
- Implement and manage automated tests within Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment pipelines to ensure rapid and reliable delivery cycles.
- Ensure software meets quality standards by identifying, documenting, and tracking bugs, and performing comprehensive testing across various test types.
- Work closely with development, QA, and product teams to align testing strategies with project goals.
