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
