About this role

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
