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

- En
