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
