What You Bring:

1. Experience as a QA Automation Engineer, ideally in the Web3 space (or something similar).
2. Proficiency with JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, GoLang, or Python.
3. Familiarity with testing tools such as Selenium, Cypress, Truffle, and Ganache.
4. A solid understanding of blockchain, consensus protocols, and decentralised systems.
5. Practical knowledge of CI/CD processes and automation.
6. Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure), Docker, SQL, and Unix-based OSs.

Extra Credit:

1. Experience with Ethereum and blockchain technologies.
2. Familiarity with load testing tools (K6, JMeter) and Detox testing.
3. Background in open-source projects or Dapps.
4. Bonus points for experience with Parity's Zombienet and Substrate.

Why You Should Care:

This is your chance to work at the intersection of blockchain, Web3, and cutting-edge tech. We're a remote-first team with world-class investors and big ambitions-join us and leave your mark on the omnichain future.
