Your success will be measured, in part, by an improvement in escape rate / reducing incidents. • Technical Delivery: Design and deliver test plans for a significant component, set of features, or service within the Banking domain. This includes creating and executing test plans for complex test scenarios. • Integrate CI/CD: You will contribute to the team's goal of fully adopting Acorns' Continuous Delivery (CD) strategy in the next six months. • Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner heavily with Product Marketing and Data Analytics/Engineering teams to ensure comprehensive product testing and data integrity. • Mentorship: After six months, you will be expected to formally mentor a QAE through an internal process or present banking domain knowledge to the wider QA team. • Lead Emerging Tech: Collaborate on developing and assuring emerging technology in the banking space, helping to solve complex technical challenges for the team.
