Full Job Posting

What You Will Do:

  • Own release-readiness testing end to end: test planning, regression, smoke, and post-deploy verification.
  • Run go/no-go checks and give release owners a clear, evidence-based quality recommendation.
  • Resolve release issues without guidance, and take action to prevent them from recurring through root-cause analysis and new test coverage.
  • Report on release quality using defect escape rate, regression pass rate, and release cycle time.
  • Lead small projects, such as automating a regression suite or improving the release checklist, including running meetings and communicating with all relevant parties.
  • Proactively find and fix problems slowing the team down, and prioritize across competing releases and tasks.
  • Build consensus and resolve conflicts on release timing, defect severity, and scope of testing.
  • Partner with Engineering, Product, Support, and other cross-functional teams to get releases out the door.
  • Contribute to recruiting, onboarding, and mentoring, including interviewing junior to mid-level QA candidates and giving specific hire/no-hire feedback.

Qualifications

  • Need to Have:
  • Several years of QA experience, with a track record of owning release or regression testing for a production product.
  • Strong test design: you can turn a loosely defined release into a risk-based test plan without a spec for every case.
  • Hands-on experience with test automation and CI/CD pipelines (for example Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium, and GitHub Actions or similar).
  • Fluency with defect tracking and test management tools, and with API testing.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, including explaining technical problems to non-technical audiences.
  • A proactive, self-driven approach: you ask for help early and take initiative on improvements.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in a SaaS or ed tech environment.
  • Accessibility testing experience.
  • Experience mentoring junior QA staff.
