Senior Quality Assurance Engineer

Overview:
As a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer at Corporate Tools, you'll help us build better software by senioring (we know it's not a word, but you still get it) our QA efforts with a thoughtful, hands-on approach. You'll collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and designers to ensure our web and software products meet high standards of usability, reliability, and overall quality. You'll take the lead on creating and maintaining meaningful automated test suites, and you won't hesitate to dig into a manual test when it makes sense. You'll work in an agile environment, helping us scope and test new features, squash bugs, and build testing into the development process from the ground up-not as an afterthought. You'll also serve as a mentor and resource for your fellow QA engineers, sharing best practices and helping us all level up. Most importantly, you'll bring curiosity, care, and a strong sense of ownership to everything you do.
