Requirements

  • Have written and maintained test automation frameworks from scratch
  • Know what makes a test helpful, flaky, or someone else’s problem
  • Think like a user: spot edge cases, understand feature usage, and create meaningful test coverage
  • Enjoy working on test infrastructure that supports engineers and removes workflow friction
  • Get excited about shipping less brittle, faster tests; treat test automation as usable, not a checklist
  • Can independently scope, build, test, and maintain tools and systems without needing direction on what “done” looks like
  • Enjoy writing code daily and have recent coding experience
  • View QA as enabling rather than gatekeeping
  • Prefer building and improving systems over just validating requirements
  • Comfortable in a small team environment without heavy ceremony or fixed roles

Responsibilities

  • Write and maintain end-to-end tests
  • Contribute to and build test infrastructure
  • Work closely with engineers to create fast, confident feedback loops, especially in rapidly evolving product areas
  • Design systems that others want to use
  • Debug and simplify existing test setups (e.g., fix flaky tests, make tests 10x faster)
  • Bring product intuition to test systems: focus on user-reliant areas, edge cases, and steering engineers to valuable tests
  • Build tooling and workflows that save time, reduce risks, and improve reliability (not just count test cases)
  • Occasionally assist with manual testing when the team is busy
  • Help turn engineering and quality visions into practical tools used by the team
