About the role

  • Own end-to-end product quality across AI workflows: Test Windsurf and Devin across onboarding flows, chat interactions, multi-file edits, agentic task execution, and autonomous workflows—thinking like a developer and testing like a user.
  • Design and execute comprehensive test strategies: Build and run functional, regression, integration, exploratory, and E2E test plans across product surfaces and releases.
  • Break down complex flows into testable scenarios: Identify edge cases, race conditions, state recovery failures, and real-world usage patterns that only emerge in production-like behavior.
  • Issue reproduction, documentation, and debugging: Reproduce, document, and debug issues across layers—distinguishing between UI defects, orchestration/system issues, and unexpected AI behavior; work with engineering and product to drive resolution.
  • Release readiness and quality bar ownership: Partner with engineering and product to define “done,” set quality standards, and ensure releases meet the expectations of real developers.
  • Build scalable QA processes and automation: Establish QA playbooks, test processes, and automation where it has leverage; help evolve CI/CD and testing practices as the product scales.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of QA/Test Engineering experience testing complex product workflows (multi-step user journeys, cross-surface interactions, and E2E behavior).
  • Deep expertise in functional, regression, exploratory, integration, and end-to-end testing methodologies.
  • Strong developer mindset: comfortable reading/writing code (Python, TypeScript, or similar), navigating codebases, and reasoning about systems.
  • User-first testing approach: you test from the perspective of real users, not just against a spec.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and strong debugging instincts; able to communicate clearly and precisely in bug reports and triage.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD and test automation frameworks; comfort working in fast-moving, release-driven environments.
Benefits
  • Schedule flexibility: overlap with US time zones required; release cycles may require weekend availability.
