About the role

  • Own Test Automation
  • - Build and maintain our E2E test automation framework using Playwright
  • - Create and expand regression test suites covering critical advisor workflows—login, client views, conversation flows, insights display, and recommendation panels
  • - Implement visual regression testing to catch UI inconsistencies across browsers and devices
  • - Set up component-level testing with React Testing Library + Vitest for frontend isolation
  • Establish Quality Infrastructure
  • - Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) — tests run on every PR, nightly full regressions, and post-deployment smoke tests
  • - Set up and maintain error tracking and monitoring (Sentry) to catch production issues proactively
  • - Build test coverage dashboards so the team has visibility into what’s tested and what’s not
  • - Own the release testing checklist—define what must pass before any deployment goes to production
  • Define QA Process
  • - Create a bug taxonomy and triage process—severity levels, SLAs, reproduction templates
  • - Manage bug tracking workflows across Linear and Notion
  • - Define the QA sign-off process—no feature ships without QA approval on acceptance criteria
  • - Every confirmed bug gets an automated regression test so it never recurs
  • Ensure Production Readiness
  • - Audit the app end-to-end—document every user flow, edge case, and known issue
  • - Perform cross-browser and cross-device testing—advisors use Sophie on different setups during client meetings
  • - Establish performance baselines—load times, streaming response rendering, interaction responsiveness
  • - Build and own the pre-launch quality gate for our production release

Requirements

  • 3+ years of QA experience with at least 2 years in test automation (not manual-only)
  • Proficiency with Playwright or Cypress—writing tests from scratch, not just recording them
  • Comfortable with TypeScript and testing within a React/Next.js codebase
  • Experience integrating test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
  • Strong understanding of API contract testing—validating frontend/backend integration points
  • Solid bug documentation skills—clear reproduction steps, environment details, severity classification
Benefits
  • Equity: Meaningful early-stage grant with 4-year vesting
  • Equipment: Professional Laptop ready to work with AI provided + stipend for remote work when 6 month mark is met
  • Time Off: Flexible PTO with a minimum 15 days encouraged
  • Learning: $1,000 annual professional development budget
  • Schedule: Flexible hours with 3-4 hours daily overlap (Americas timezones)
