What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA automation/SDET role where I can own API-first testing in microservices, stabilize CI suites, and use AI-assisted workflows to increase QA velocity—ideally with remote flexibility and room to grow technical leadership.

I’m a Quality Engineer III / SDET with 5+ years of experience in software testing and QA automation across FinTech, B2B SaaS, and enterprise platforms. I design and build API automation frameworks to make releases faster and more trustworthy.

At JumpCloud, I own automation for ~50 core REST APIs in a microservices architecture. I’m driving a 40% increase in QA velocity through AI-assisted testing and a 35% reduction in execution time by stabilizing flaky suites, while earning promotion to Quality Engineer III within one year.

I partner with Product and Engineering from requirement analysis through release validation, covering user lifecycle management, group management, custom attributes, and critical IAM features. I validate RBAC, authentication, authorization, and tenant isolation to ensure secure permission boundaries across enterprise SaaS environments.

I also complement API-first coverage with UI automation (Cypress) and expand into Playwright. Using Cursor AI and Gemini Gems, I accelerate test case generation, automation development, log analysis, and root cause investigation—then verify deployments in Kubernetes and manage defects in JIRA.
