5+ years of QA/Test Engineering experience testing complex product workflows (multi-step user journeys, cross-surface interactions, and E2E behavior)
Deep expertise in functional, regression, exploratory, integration, and end-to-end testing methodologies
Strong developer mindset: comfortable reading/writing code (Python, TypeScript, or similar), navigating codebases, and reasoning about systems
User-first testing approach: you test from the perspective of real users, not just against a spec
Exceptional attention to detail and strong debugging instincts; able to communicate clearly and precisely in bug reports and triage
Familiarity with CI/CD and test automation frameworks; comfort working in fast-moving, release-driven environments
Schedule flexibility: overlap with US time zones required; release cycles may require weekend availability
Experience testing AI-powered products with non-deterministic outputs; ability to evaluate quality when responses vary
Experience testing IDE plugins/extensions or developer tools (VS Code extensions, CLIs, code review systems)
Familiarity with AI coding tools (Windsurf, Copilot, Cursor, Devin, etc.) and informed opinions on what “good” looks like
Prior software engineering background with shipped production code
