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
