• Experience with observability-driven testing
• Experience testing MCP servers
• Experience with performance and load testing

Key Responsibilities and Your Contribution

• Lead testing activities across blockchain-based applications, from requirements analysis and manual validation to test automation and release support.
• Review business requirements and technical documentation to understand system functionality and identify testing needs.
• Manually test new features and existing functionality to understand system behavior and guide test automation efforts.
• Define and improve QA strategies, test plans, and quality gates.
• Establish testing ownership and coordinate responsibilities between QA and engineering teams.
• Work closely with engineering and product teams to define test coverage and acceptance criteria.
• Build and maintain automated test suites, frameworks, and test harnesses, focusing on backend, integration, and contract testing.
• Test blockchain integrations, smart contracts, REST APIs, JSON-RPC endpoints, MCP servers, and other blockchain-specific functionality.
• Integrate and monitor automated tests within CI/CD pipelines and quality gates.
• Investigate and troubleshoot issues across distributed systems and blockchain integrations.
• Adjust testing priorities and approaches as project needs evolve.
• Maintain test documentation, report quality risks, and communicate testing progress and blockers.
• Help expand automation coverage and improve QA practices across multiple projects.
