QA Automation

Role & responsibilities

This is a QA Engineer role on our Quality Engineering team. You'll be embedded directly alongside a product development pod, owning quality outcomes for that surface area manual testing and automation are not separate functions here; you'll do both.

What You'll Own

• Serve as the QA owner for your dev pod test strategy, automation coverage, and quality sign-off for your team's features
• Grow your automation depth and agentic tooling fluency over time
• Take ownership incrementally as you build trust and track record

Quality Execution

• Write and maintain test cases across manual and automated coverage for your pod's features
• Help ensure shift-left practices, automation coverage, and clear quality gates are part of the definition of done
• Surface quality risks to your dev team and PM early before code ships, not after
• Track relevant quality metrics for your area: defect leakage, escaped defects, automation coverage, regression stability

AI-Assisted QA Engineering

• Use agentic tools (Claude Code, Kiro, Codex, or similar) to help generate test cases, triage CI failures, and maintain regression suites
• Validate AI-generated test output for correctness you're responsible for what ships, even when a tool helped write it
• Bring ideas back to the team on ways AI tooling can speed up testing work

Automation & Execution

• Contribute to test plans, sprint readiness, and release sign-off for your area
• Flag capacity risks and blockers early

Must Have

• 4 to 7 years of experience in QA or Quality Engineering, ideally in a fast-moving SaaS product environment (daily/weekly/bi-weekly releases)
• Hands-on experience using AI coding/testing assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, Kiro, Codex, or similar) in your day-to-day work
• Solid coding ability you can read, write, and reason about code, and contribute to or review test automation frameworks
• Experience with both manual testing and test automation comfortable moving between the two
• Strong communication and partnership instincts with developers and PMs
• Familiarity with shift-left practices thinking about quality early in the dev cycle
• Comfort with ambiguity able to take a fuzzy quality goal and turn it into concrete test coverage

Strong Plus

• Exposure to agentic QA workflows self-healing tests, AI-generated regression suites, automated triage
• Background or interest in AppSec or security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, integrations)
• Experience testing AI features — understanding of prompting, output validation, hallucination risks
• Experience working in a pod or squad model with embedded QA
