AI-Augmented QA Engineer

AI-Augmented QA Engineer

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

We are looking for an AI-Augmented QA Engineer to own and expand automated testing for an early-stage, fast-moving security platform.

You’ll work closely with frontend and backend engineers to build reliable test coverage, strengthen the existing Playwright test suite , and ensure critical product workflows remain stable as the platform evolves.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll have significant ownership. You’ll receive clear goals around test coverage and reliability rather than step-by-step instructions, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working independently and improving systems proactively.

What You’ll Own

Test Automation & Coverage

• Write and maintain automated end-to-end tests using Playwright
• Expand coverage across critical product workflows
• Build regression tests that run automatically on every pull request
• Test workflows including dashboards, detection workflows, device management, user permissions, and settings
• Keep the test architecture clean, maintainable, and scalable as the product grows

Test Infrastructure & Reliability

• Own the reliability of the automated test suite and CI pipeline
• Diagnose and reduce flaky tests
• Manage test data and seed data requirements
• Monitor and improve staging environment stability
• Maintain reliable test execution as the product and test suite expand

AI-Assisted Exploratory Testing

• Use AI-assisted browser automation to explore edge cases and uncover bugs
• Work with Claude and LLM-based tools as part of daily testing workflows
• Experiment with AI-driven testing approaches beyond scripted test cases
• Identify issues that traditional automated regression tests may not catch
• Continuously explore ways to improve QA efficiency through AI tooling

Engineering Collaboration

• Work directly with frontend and backend engineers throughout the development cycle
• Collaborate on testing requirements and critical product flows
• Communicate test failures, bugs, and reliability issues clearly
• Contribute to a culture where engineers trust and act on automated test results
• Take ownership of QA improvements without relying on layers of project management

Requirements

• 3–5 years of QA, software testing, or test automation experience preferred
• Candidates with less experience will also be considered if they demonstrate strong automation skills and relevant hands-on experience
• Strong TypeScript skills and the ability to write clean, maintainable test code
• Hands-on experience with Playwright, Cypress, or a similar E2E testing framework
• Strong understanding of web application testing
• Understanding of DOM interaction, network requests, and asynchronous behavior
• Ability to diagnose and troubleshoot flaky automated tests
• Experience creating or maintaining automated regression tests
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of testing goals
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
• Willingness to learn and use AI tools as part of the testing workflow
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to test reliability

Nice to Have

• Experience building E2E testing infrastructure from scratch
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI pipelines
• Experience with test data management, parallelization, and test reporting
• Hands-on experience with Playwright specifically
• Experience testing complex B2B web applications
• Experience with multi-tenant applications and role-based access
• Experience testing multi-step workflows
• Familiarity with Claude or other AI/LLM-based development and testing tools
• Experience working with React applications
• Familiarity with Sentry, GCP Stackdriver, or similar observability tools

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Prefer building automated testing systems over relying primarily on manual QA
• Enjoy improving test coverage and reliability proactively
• Can work independently from high-level goals
• Are comfortable diagnosing problems rather than waiting for detailed instructions
• Have strong curiosity about AI-assisted testing and emerging tools
• Enjoy working directly with engineers in a small, fast-moving team
• Care about building test suites that engineers genuinely trust
• Think beyond individual test cases and consider the reliability of the overall QA system

Tech Stack

• TypeScript — Test code
• Playwright — E2E testing framework
• Claude & AI tooling — AI-assisted exploratory testing
• React — Frontend application
• Sentry — Error monitoring
• GCP Stackdriver — Logging and observability

Interview Process

• Recruiter Screening
• Client Interview
• Final Selection & Onboarding
