If you want to join this mission-driven team and believe you fit the profile below, lets talk! About the role We are looking for a Quality Automation Engineernot a traditional QA gatekeeper. You will build the systems, automation, and feedback loops that help the entire engineering team ship reliable software quickly. Developers will continue to own the quality of what they build; your responsibility is to make effective testing easy, fast, visible, and integrated throughout the development lifecycle. You will work alongside product engineers from early discovery and architecture through production release. You should be comfortable reading application code, challenging requirements, designing automation frameworks, investigating failures across services, and preventing defects rather than only detecting them before release. This is a hands-on engineering role with meaningful influence over our release process and quality architecture. What you will do Own our quality automation strategy - Define a risk-based automation strategy across frontend, backend, integrations, data workflows, and AI-powered features. - Determine which behaviors should be covered through unit, component, API, contract, integration, end-to-end, performance, or production-level testing. - Ensure critical customer workflows are protected without creating a slow or excessively brittle test suite. - Establish clear quality standards and release-readiness criteria. Build scalable test automation - Design and maintain automation frameworks for our React applications, Rails platform, APIs, and supporting services. - Build reliable end-to-end automation using Playwright or an equivalent modern framework. - Develop API, database, integration, and service-level tests that identify failures earlier than UI tests. - Introduce contract testing for important internal and third-party service boundaries. - Automate regression coverage for enterprise workflows, permissions, multi-tenancy, configuration, reporting, and integrations. - Build reusable test-data factories, fixtures, mocks, and isolated test environments. - Add performance, load, concurrency, and resilience testing for high-risk workflows. Integrate quality into CI/CD - Integrate automated tests into pull-request, staging, and release pipelines. - Define practical quality gates based on risk, coverage, test results, and affected product areas. - Optimize suites through parallelization, sharding, test selection, and appropriate separation of fast and extended tests. - Keep pull-request feedback fast enough that engineers trust and use it. - Identify, quarantine, investigate, and eliminate flaky tests. - Ensure failures provide actionable diagnostic information rather than generic pipeline errors. - Automatically connect production defects to permanent regression coverage. Test security-sensitive workflows - Build automated regression coverage for authentication, authorization, tenant isolation, role permissions, and sensitive-data access. - Test negative and abuse scenarios, including cross-tenant access attempts and unauthorized API behavior. - Partner with engineering and security teams to incorporate security regression tests into the delivery pipeline. - Validate auditability, data integrity, and critical compliance-related behaviors. - Help ensure quality automation supportsnot bypassesour security and SDLC controls.
