Vetted QA Automation Engineers in California

“QA automation engineer with experience at Amazon Game Studios owning an end-to-end automated scale testing suite that simulates high-concurrency gameplay and captures performance telemetry. Improved coverage by bypassing hours of gameplay via programmatic state setup, enabling repeatable 4000-player dungeon-entry tests that exposed a messaging-queue bottleneck fixed before release. Also built maintainable Selenium/pytest UI automation with CI gating, reporting, and flake-reduction patterns.”

Engineering Manager specializing in programmatic advertising and large-scale backend systems

San Francisco, CA7y exp

“Engineering manager with recent hands-on technical leadership in vendor-based geo augmentation, including making a key pivot from a broken vendor SDK to an internal data ingestion approach. Previously shipped impactful Python microservice refactors that reduced unnecessary data processing/storage and improved runtime payload efficiency, and has owned on-call incidents through mitigation (scaling pods) and prevention process changes.”

Mid-level QA Automation Engineer (SDET) specializing in API and test automation

Los Alamitos, CA4y exp

“QA automation engineer who owns and modernizes end-to-end test automation across Selenium (Java) and Cypress (JavaScript), integrating suites into GitLab CI/CD with PR gating, nightly runs, and Sauce Labs reporting/recordings. Demonstrated impact by catching a session-timeout workflow issue in CI that manual testing missed and by reducing flakiness through stack upgrades, coding standards, and API-synchronized assertions.”

“Game-studio QA tester with full lifecycle experience (feature kickoff through release/live updates), strong in structured test planning, edge-case discovery, and disciplined defect tracking. Partners closely with engineers via Jira/standups, providing detailed repro steps, logs, and evidence, and builds regression coverage to prevent recurring UI/data-loss issues.”

Junior QA Automation Engineer specializing in Playwright E2E and API testing

San Francisco, CA3y exp

“QA automation-focused engineer who hardens production CI/CD by integrating and stabilizing end-to-end automated tests (tackling async UI flakiness, resilient assertions/selectors, and controlled test data). Demonstrates strong cross-layer troubleshooting by correlating logs and system metrics to resolve intermittent service reachability, then adding monitoring/alerts and documentation. Also partners directly with operators to improve real-world workflows by enhancing validation logic and error messaging.”

“QA engineer with 12 years of experience in SaaS/platform releases (not AAA games), partnering closely with developers and product through standups, 1:1s, and Three Amigos. Owned high-risk areas like payment data integrity and critical user journeys, running CI-based full regression to support go/no-go decisions. Notably caught a production EV charging receipt defect (zero charge shown) and drove it to resolution with strong Jira documentation and cross-functional escalation.”
