The New York Times is looking for a Senior QA Engineer to join our Games team. You will be at the heart of our mission to deliver immersive, world-class gaming experiences. You will lead our offshore QA partners, refine manual testing processes, and architect automation frameworks that ensure the quality of our diverse games suite.

As a Senior member of the team, you will advocate for a "shift-left" testing philosophy - collaborating with Product, Design, and Engineering from the initial creative phase through the entire development lifecycle. You'll join a culture that values transparency, diversity, and learning.

You will report to the Senior QA Manager.

Architect and build a comprehensive testing strategy that balances manual oversight of offshore teams with the development of scalable automation.

Develop automated test suites using Playwright for web and XCUITest/Espresso for mobile apps.
