As a Lead Software Engineer in Test you will work as a member of the engineering team to guide and drive our automated testing efforts. You will manage a group of Software Engineers in Test, and work closely with Product, Engineering, and Technical Operations on the design, development and execution of test scenarios.

A “typical” day requires working with a development team. We expect you to understand how our customers use our products, to engage proactively with product owners to design and develop test cases, including tests related to customer use case and configurations. You will develop domain expertise, mentor SETs and create the future of our test automation strategy. We look to you to be an advocate for standard methodologies that aid in the delivering of high quality products and balancing the importance of time-to-market.Key Responsibilities:
