QA Engineer
Summary
QA Engineer at iCustomer, a growth-marketing decision platform, owning quality across web apps, APIs, data pipelines, and integrations. Day-to-day involves manual/exploratory and regression testing, SQL-based data validation, API testing with Postman, and building automation with tools like Playwright/Cypress wired into CI/CD.
About iCustomer iCustomer is the Agentic Decision OS for Growth Marketing used by 100+ clients including American Eagle, Cisco, Untuckit and Crusoe to turn audience intelligence into decisions and orchestration with learning loops. We're a venture-backed, US-headquartered startup with a growing India team building the next category in growth marketing infrastructure helping growth teams optimize ROAS, CAC, and LTV. Customers don't just buy software from us, they buy outcomes.
The Role We're hiring a hands-on QA Engineer to own quality across our platform—web applications, APIs, data pipelines, and integrations. You'll work directly with engineering and product to make sure what we ship works for customers.
Our product turns data into decisions and actions. An incorrect score, missing record, or broken audience sync can affect a customer's campaign. You'll dig into those details, test complete workflows, and help us catch issues before customers do.
You'll have room to shape our testing approach, build automation, and challenge requirements when something doesn't add up. We want someone who takes a feature from “looks good” to “ready to ship.”
What You'll Do Product Quality & Release Ownership
Own functional, exploratory, regression, and integration testing across the platform.
Turn requirements into practical test scenarios, including edge cases and failure paths.
Test complete customer journeys—from uploading a list to enriching, scoring, building audiences, and activating them.
Run release checks, communicate risks clearly, and verify fixes before they reach customers.
API & Data Validation
Test APIs for correct responses, authentication, error handling, and unexpected inputs.
Use SQL to validate data accuracy, completeness, transformations, and consistency.
Catch duplicates, missing fields, incorrect mappings, and partial processing failures.
Validate CRM and marketing integrations, including sync behavior, retries, and failed updates.
Test Automation
Build and maintain automated tests using Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar tools.
Prioritize automation for critical workflows and recurring issues.
Work with engineering to bring reliable automated checks into CI/CD.
Keep tests useful as the product evolves—investigate failures and reduce flaky checks.
Customer Experience & Team Collaboration
Look beyond whether a feature works: flag confusing flows, unclear errors, and dead ends.
Reproduce customer-reported issues using logs, browser tools, API responses, and data.
Write bug reports that help engineers move quickly: clear steps, expected behavior, actual results, and impact.
Bring findings into product discussions and help prevent repeat issues.
Who You Are 2–4 years of QA experience testing web applications, ideally SaaS products.

Curious and practical—you ask questions, investigate, and help the team move forward.
Bonus Points Worked at an early-stage startup.
