What this role is
FOX is hiring a Staff SDET to lead quality engineering across their new direct-to-consumer streaming platform, designing testing strategies and automation frameworks that ensure quality is built into the development process rather than bolted on at the end. This role suits an experienced test automation engineer who thinks like a platform architect, can influence technical decisions across teams, and wants to shape how a major media company validates its streaming experiences.
