What will you do?

• Own quality end-to-end across all Sidelines products: web and mobile applications, backend services, cross-platform integrations within partner sites, tracking/attribution systems, and large-scale data flows.

• Design, build and evolve the automation infrastructure, expanding coverage across frontend, backend and system-level flows.

• Work closely with Engineering and DevOps on CI/CD, deployments, environments and release stability.

• Translate product requirements into structured, testable tasks and proactively identify gaps, edge cases and risks.

What will you bring to the table?

• 4+ years of hands-on QA experience across full product environments (frontend, backend, APIs and integrations).

• 4+ years of hands-on experience in test automation, including designing, building and maintaining scalable automation frameworks.

• 2+ years leading QA teams with true ownership and delivery accountability.

• Strong experience with modern automation tools (Playwright experience is a significant advantage).

• High ownership mindset, structured thinking and the ability to operate independently in a fast-moving environment.
