• 4+ years of quality assurance engineering experience
• Experience in automation testing
• Experience in manual testing
• Experience as QA lead on medium to large sized projects

Our team, Sent to Amazon team, works to solve what is arguably the most difficult e Commerce problem that exists today: building sophisticated, scalable technology to effectively simplify the complexity of connecting millions of FBA sellers with hundreds of millions of consumers who buy their products. Even small improvements result in millions of dollars in savings for our sellers and customers. Given the importance of small and medium sized businesses, these savings are what helps drive the global economy.

Specifically, the Send to Amazon - STA Platforms (STAP) team is part of the broader Inbound Workflows and Platforms organization. Our team owns the user interface platform that enables sellers to inbound products to Amazon. As the owners of this platform, the STAP engineering team is responsible for the code base, development practices, CI/CD pipelines, and providing on-call support. The team is also accountable for the in-bounding workflow built on this platform, which supports a wide range of marketplaces categorized as "Worldwide" (WW). This encompasses the end-to-end engineering and quality assurance for the seller-facing UI on Seller Central. Additionally, the STAP team owns various services that they have inherited over time from other teams. The QA team within STAP specifically owns manual feature and regression testing across multiple initiatives, both within the inbound workflows organization and beyond.
