QA Engineer

Your Mission:

Your mission is to make sure the quality of everything we ship holds up before it reaches our customers. You’ll work alongside engineers throughout the build process, using and evaluating AI-assisted testing tools to accelerate coverage while bringing the creative, exploratory judgment automation can’t replicate. As you grow in the role, you’ll have real opportunity to help shape how our QA approach evolves.

You will report to: Senior Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Author and maintain automated end-to-end test suites (e.g. Playwright), working closely with the engineers who built each feature, and explore AI-assisted testing tools to speed up test authoring, maintenance, and coverage analysis
• Own regression testing and give final sign-off on release candidates before they ship
• Bring creative, exploratory testing to every release, going beyond the happy path to find the edge cases and strange interactions that developers and AI agents won’t think of
• Come up with ideas for ways to test things that don’t fit neatly into an application QA box, like data products and non-deterministic features
• As you grow in the role, help shape how our QA approach evolves as AI reshapes the split between writing code and verifying it: our testing strategy, CI/CD test gates, and documentation

Who You Are:

• You will have 3+ years of experience in a Software QA role.
• You have 2+ years of experience writing JavaScript.
• You have 3+ years of hands-on experience with automated testing: Playwright, another modern testing framework, or Selenium plus other relevant tooling.
• You’re comfortable working with git day-to-day.
• You have a knack for finding the bug nobody thought to test for, and get genuine satisfaction from creative, exploratory testing.
• You’re curious about (or already using) AI-assisted testing tools, and have real opinions about where AI helps and where it doesn’t.
• Bonus: you’ve owned part of a CI/CD or release process, done test planning/strategy work, or have strong opinions on how a team’s testing approach could improve.
• Our core values (see below) are part of your inherent DNA, and you have many examples of when you demonstrated these values in your career.

Salary: $70000 - $95000 + Bonus Eligibility
