This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Quality Assurance Engineer based in United States.
This is a high-impact staff-level engineering role focused on elevating quality across a modern, distributed SaaS product environment.
You will own automated testing strategy and frameworks across multiple product teams and critical customer journeys.
The role combines hands-on coding, test architecture, quality enablement, and cross-functional technical leadership.
You will help shift quality ownership directly into engineering while building reliable, measurable testing practices.
A major focus will be using AI, APIs, and MCP-based tooling to make complex testing faster and more repeatable.
You will influence engineering practices across teams without acting as a manual testing gatekeeper.
This is an opportunity to shape a quality engineering practice from the ground up and deliver measurable improvements in product reliability.
Accountabilities:
- Own the automated testing strategy and frameworks across the UI product, initially focusing on high-risk resident onboarding flows before expanding coverage to additional product areas.
- Build critical-user-flow coverage into engineering delivery pipelines so automated testing is owned and maintained by development teams.
- Establish a risk-weighted registry of critical flows and create live dashboards measuring test coverage, screen coverage, and relevant production traffic.
- Develop and promote an AI-first approach to quality engineering, using Claude, MCP-based tooling, APIs, CLIs, and direct data access to automate complex and repetitive testing scenarios.
- Modernize integration testing by replacing manual partner verification with API-driven automation and addressing environment and testability gaps.
- Coach engineers, product managers, and stakeholders on quality practices, embedding testing into product design and code review rather than relying on downstream manual validation.
- Lead the Quality Enablement practice by identifying and prioritizing tooling, infrastructure, and system-testability improvements across engineering teams.
- Establish durable quality guardrails, including CI coverage targets, deployment-gate health monitoring, flaky-test reduction, and escaped-defect tracking.
- Partner across engineering, platform, product, and leadership teams to improve testing capabilities and make quality outcomes measurable.
- Use data and production signals to identify quality trends, reduce defects reaching production, and continuously improve engineering reliability.
Requirements:
- Staff-level engineering experience with a strong track record of designing, coding, and owning automated testing frameworks across unit, integration, contract, browser, and end-to-end testing layers.
- Quality engineering must be a core area of expertise and professional focus, with demonstrated experience building sophisticated automated testing systems rather than primarily performing manual QA.
- Strong programming skills with AWS and Node/TypeScript, plus the ability to work comfortably across distributed, service-oriented systems and service boundaries.
- Experience with modern testing technologies such as Jest, Playwright, contract testing, API testing, and automated integration testing.
- Strong interest and practical experience using AI to improve engineering workflows, with enthusiasm for building agent workflows, skills, and MCP-based tooling.
- Exceptional communication and coaching abilities, with the ability to influence engineers, product managers, technical leaders, and non-technical stakeholders across multiple teams.
- Demonstrated autonomy and ownership, including the ability to identify ambiguous quality problems, establish priorities, and deliver measurable improvements with limited process overhead.
- Ability to work a consistent 8:00 AM–5:00 PM EST schedule.
- Comfortable working in a remote-first environment with reliable high-speed internet and a professional, distraction-free workspace.
- Bonus experience includes establishing or scaling a quality engineering practice, performance/load testing, PostgreSQL data-integrity testing, and PropTech, real estate technology, or B2B2C SaaS environments.
- Familiarity with technologies such as TypeScript/Node, NestJS, Nx, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, Redis, queue-based processing, Datadog/RUM, and AI-assisted testing workflows is advantageous.
Benefits:
- Base salary: $180,000–$200,000 annually.
- Equity compensation.
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
- 401(k) plan.
- Flexible, open Paid Time Off and sick days.
- Remote-first work environment from anywhere in the United States.
- Paid parental leave.
- Opportunities to help shape a fast-growing technology business and establish a quality engineering practice.
- Professional growth and development opportunities.
- Bi-annual in-person company meetings, with business travel expenses reimbursed according to company guidelines.
- Collaborative culture focused on continuous improvement, ownership, innovation, and meaningful customer outcomes.
