About the role

  • Be an active partner in shaping our QA approach and processes.
  • Define testing strategies across frontend, backend, and API layers to ensure we test the right things at the right level.
  • Help engineers define and write tests but not own every test — especially unit tests.
  • Establish and maintain the QA infrastructure, frameworks, and tooling needed for efficient testing at scale.
  • Perform ad-hoc manual testing for new features and high-risk areas.
  • Design and execute regression testing plans to prevent unexpected breakages.
  • Lead business-critical path testing to ensure the core user flows always work flawlessly.
  • Build and maintain automated test suites where they drive significant value — especially around integration, end-to-end, and regression testing.
  • Work closely with engineers to embed quality into the development process from day one.
  • Collaborate with product managers and designers to define acceptance criteria, edge cases, and risk areas early in the lifecycle.
  • Advocate for quality-first thinking, ensuring we deliver features that are not only functional but also robust and reliable.
  • Act as a bridge between engineering, product, and users to make sure we’re building the right things and validating them thoroughly.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in QA or software engineering, with a focus on test strategy, infrastructure, and automation, including mentoring or leading QA initiatives.
  • Preferred: Startup experience, thriving in fast-paced, product-driven environments.
  • Gets a lot done: Proactive, resourceful, and committed to shipping high-quality products.
  • Strategic thinker: Understands when to automate, when to test manually, and where to focus coverage.
  • Collaborative mindset: Builds strong relationships with engineers and product managers.
  • Quality advocate: Passionate about preventing bugs rather than just finding them.
  • Experience with test automation frameworks.
  • Working knowledge of TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js preferred).
  • Familiarity with API testing (REST, GraphQL) and tools like Postman or similar.
  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and integration of tests into automated deployments.
  • Familiarity with load/performance testing, and monitoring tools.
  • Experience leveraging generative AI in a QA test automation context.
  • If hired, must be authorized to work in the United States or Canada for any employer; role open only to U.S and Canada-based candidates authorized to work without visa sponsorship.
