About Docupath
Docupath is a fast-growing startup building a new category of enterprise infrastructure: think of us as the Google Translate between businesses. We enable organizations across the world to move, understand, and trust information as it flows between systems, teams, and partners through documents.
Our customers span multiple industries and geographies, and our platform sits at the heart of mission-critical business workflows. We move fast, think big, and obsess over engineering quality because what we build directly impacts how modern businesses operate.
We are not looking for average. We are building a team of exceptional people who want to shape systems, standards, and outcomes at scale.

• Provide hands-on leadership in building and maintaining automated test suites using modern tooling.
• Collaborate early with engineering and product teams to influence design for testability and quality.
• Mentor and technically guide other QE engineers, setting standards and raising the quality bar across the organization.

• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and development workflows.
• Know and practice ATDD, BDD, TDD approaches.
• Proven ability to operate independently, make technical decisions, and lead by example.
• Comfortable adopting new tech AI tools, emerging frameworks to improve efficiency.
• Excellent communication skills in English both written and spoken with the confidence to engage across teams and stakeholders.

What We’re Looking For
• Someone loud in ideas, clear in communication, and confident in execution.
