Job Description
QA Engineer
Neuroscale AI
• Perform a deep audit of the current QA setup across ARBI, Athena, frontend flows, backend services, APIs, data workflows, integrations, AI pipelines, and release processes. • Define a company-wide QA strategy across short-term stabilization, mid-term automation, and long-term quality engineering maturity. • Design a scalable test architecture using test pyramid principles, shift-left testing, smoke testing, regression testing, release gates, exploratory testing, and risk-based coverage. • Define clear QA responsibilities between developers, QA, product, design, customer success, and release owners. • Establish a practical quality operating rhythm: test plans, release checklists, defect triage, severity definitions, sign-off workflows, and quality metrics. • Validate implementation against requirements, designs, copy, acceptance criteria, user stories, and customer-specific workflows. • Test UI, UX, business logic, responsiveness, edge cases, error states, empty states, loading states, accessibility, and validation messages. • Perform exploratory, smoke, regression, and release-candidate testing before launches. • Validate recruiter workflows including candidate search, matching, scoring, resume parsing, outreach sequencing, scheduling, recruiter dashboards, candidate profiles, and ATS/CRM-style workflows. • Validate Athena workflows including resume support, interview preparation, rubric-based feedback, candidate assistance, AI-generated recommendations, and user-facing guidance. • Take ownership of automated frontend, API, integration, and end-to-end test coverage using Cypress, Playwright, Pytest, Postman/Newman, or equivalent tools. • Create reliable automated regression suites for critical ARBI and Athena workflows, including authentication, permissions, candidate pipelines, analytics, notifications, integrations, and admin experiences. • Integrate tests deeply into CI/CD pipelines so failures are visible, actionable, and tied to release confidence. • Improve test reliability, execution speed, data setup, fixture management, and maintainability. • Validate robust REST APIs, Python/FastAPI services, backend business logic, asynchronous workflows, and data-processing pipelines. • Create API and integration test coverage for imports, exports, webhooks, permissions, search, scoring, candidate data, customer-specific configuration, and workflow automation. • Create clear, structured, reproducible bug reports with screenshots/videos, environment details, severity, expected behavior, actual behavior, impact, and reproduction steps. • Retest fixed issues, validate root-cause resolution, and prevent regressions.
Job Requirements
- Experience in Quality Assurance, Quality Engineering, Software Test Engineering, or a related product-quality role.
- Experience testing SaaS web products, B2B platforms, workflow systems, data-heavy applications, or AI-enabled products.
- Strong manual QA skills: exploratory testing, edge-case discovery, cross-browser validation, responsive web testing, clear bug reporting, and release sign-off.
- Hands-on automated testing experience with Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, Pytest, Postman/Newman, RESTAssured, or similar tools.
- Strong backend engineering fluency, especially with Python, FastAPI, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, Redis, OpenSearch, Celery, Temporal, containers, AWS services, and deployment pipelines.
- Experience validating large-scale datasets, data pipelines, integrations, asynchronous workflows, search/indexing behavior, and workflow automation.
- Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and improving reliability, speed, observability, and developer feedback loops.
- Strong systems thinking, sound quality architecture judgment, and the ability to move from ambiguity to an executable QA roadmap.
- Ability to operate in startup-style environments with high ownership, speed, accountability, and mentoring responsibility.
- Ability and willingness to relocate to the Northern VA / Washington, DC area, or work closely with the team during Eastern Time business hours if remote.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, PTO, and company-supported professional growth.
- Support for relevant courses, conferences, certifications, technical books, and quality engineering communities.
- Remote-first / hybrid flexibility with strong preference for Northern VA / DC-area alignment and occasional in-person collaboration.

Quality Assurance Engineer
Particle41We provide world-class teams for App Development, DevOps & Data Science.
• Engage with requirements and acceptance criteria before development begins, identifying gaps, ambiguities, and edge cases early. • Contribute to design and refinement discussions to flag testability and quality risks while they are still cheap to fix. • Collaborate with stakeholders to define test objectives, scope, and approach aligned to project milestones. • Write and maintain automated test suites spanning UI, API, contract, and integration layers using TypeScript and Puppeteer (or equivalent tools). • Contribute to framework improvements and scaling of automation coverage across the feature area. • Use AI tooling consistently for test design, test data generation, edge-case identification, and debugging and critically evaluate AI outputs before incorporating them. • Stay current with evolving AI testing tools and advocate for their adoption where they improve coverage or efficiency. • Run security testing tools and a11y checks; interpret and report findings, applying OWASP Top 10 and basic manual accessibility validation (keyboard, contrast, screen reader). • Maintain quality gates in the CI/CD pipeline and ensure automated suites run reliably on every build. • Monitor production alerts and dashboards post-deployment; own post-deploy validation to confirm releases meet quality expectations. • Document defects with detailed descriptions, reproduction steps, expected vs actual results, and severity classification. • Collaborate with development teams to investigate, troubleshoot, and verify defect resolutions against acceptance criteria. • Track, analyse, and report on feature-level quality metrics (defect escape rate, test coverage, automation pass rates); maintain well-organised test documentation for team and stakeholder access. • Translate quality findings into customer-impact language, what's broken for users, who feels it first, and what changes when we fix it -not just defect counts, test pass rates, or coverage numbers. • Actively participate in sprint planning, refinement, and stand-ups, raising quality and testability risks early in each cycle. • Partner with product managers, developers, and DevOps to ensure quality is built in across the delivery lifecycle, not bolted on at the end. • Support the onboarding of junior QA team members and share knowledge and best practices across the team.
