• Ensure data accuracy and integrity for business analytics, tracking, and reporting tools (e.g., Segment, Looker).
• Identify, log, track, and communicate defects clearly in a ticketing system (e.g., Jira), and collaborate with engineers until resolution.

• 3+ years of hands‑on QA experience in e‑commerce at a consumer‑facing DTC brand or marketplace with rapid release cadences running Shopify Plus.
• Strong understanding of Shopify theme structures (Liquid, templates, sections) and checkout behaviors.
• Experience testing complex purchase and subscription flows (e.g., recurring orders, A/B offers, upsells).
• Familiarity with API/Integration testing and validating event/data pipelines.
• Excellent analytical mindset with attention to detail and proactive problem identification.
• Comfortable writing clear defect reports, test plans, and acceptance criteria.
• Ability to work independently and prioritize testing efforts in a fast‑moving environment.

• Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright or Selenium).
