THE MISSION: Quality Engineering in the AI Era
in an AI-augmented API engineering environment. This role goes beyond traditional test automation — you will architect quality intelligence frameworks, validate AI-powered features, and embed continuous quality practices across the SDLC.
You will partner with Engineering, Product, Data, and TechOps teams to ensure our systems are reliable, scalable, observable, and responsible.
WHAT YOU’LL DO (The Impact)
- Architect AI-Driven Strategy:Shape and execute AI-driven API risk-based testing strategies across distributed systems.
- Driveend-to-end quality assurance for web and mobile releases, partnering with engineering and product teams to define acceptance criteria and release readiness.
- Own the API Quality:Lead test architecture for microservices and AI-integrated platforms, focusing heavily onGraphQLandApollo Studio.
- Continuous Quality (CI/CD):Establish and maintain sophisticated quality gates within CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI).
- Observability & Telemetry:Leverage tools likeHoneycomband defect trend analysis to identify systemic risks and build predictive incident feedback loops.
- AI Augmentation:Use and evaluate emerging AI-powered tools (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate test generation, maintenance, and defect detection.
- Engineering Partnership:Author pull requests for bug fixes and participate in architecture reviews to advocate for testability and reliability at the design phase.
- Mentorship:Guide the QA team on modern, AI-driven quality engineering practices.
- Security:Embed AI-driven security and performance testing into the development lifecycle.
- Test Automation:Supportapplication teams as needed with hands-on quality engineering, including Cypress test development, exploratory testing, and direct collaboration with frontend developers on release quality.
- Test Planning & Regression Strategy: As needed, define and maintain comprehensive test plans for feature releases and platform changes. Own regression testing strategy — determining what to automate, what to test manually, and how to keep regression suites lean and meaningful as the platform evolves.
WHO YOU ARE
- Technical Architect:You have extensive experience designing and building AI-driven API test automation frameworks from the ground up.
- GraphQL Expert:You are fluent in schema validation, query/mutation testing, and working within Apollo Studio.
- Automation Specialist:You have a deep mastery ofCypresstest suites at scale and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines.
- Coder & Debugger:You are comfortable reading, debugging, and writing code (PHP/Laravel and JavaScript/Vue is a plus) to contribute to platform stability.
- Strategic and Systems Thinker:You don't just follow a path; you build it. You are energized by ambiguity and driven by data.
- Security & Accessibility:You are passionate about system security and accessibility.
- Culture Fit:You are reliable, trustworthy, and a genuine team player. You must be able to comprehend (and contribute to) highly advanced forms of sarcasm.
- Coach and Mentor:You enjoy teaching other team members on the latest tools and practices.
- Ethics:You believe in responsible and ethical AI practices.
With the additional requirements of:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field preferred.
- Excellent communication skills — able to clearly explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders and do so in a way that builds confidence rather than confusion (we live in Slack).
- Reliable, trustworthy, and consistent — the team will depend on you.
- There is direct oversight, but you are expected to take ownership of your work, to establish deadlines, and to communicate progress proactively.
- Must have the ability to fulfill the job requirements with or without reasonable accommodations.
- Must be located in the United States and be legally eligible to work for us.
- Travel is required for an all-company meeting, and may be required once or twice per year for team or project meetings.
WHY JOIN US?
- Full-time W2 position, work core business hours in your time zone.
- Work from home with a company-provided MacBook and internet stipend.
- 21 days of flexible PTO + your birthday + holidays (with flexible substitution).
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision group health insurance, flexible spending accounts, and more.
- 401k match, professional development budget, robust wellness programs, pet insurance and many more perks and benefits.
