About The Position

As a QA Automation Engineer at Fable, you will help ensure the quality and reliability of our products while building hands-on experience in test automation and modern software development practices. Fable’s products support organizations in building more accessible digital experiences, and quality is essential to delivering that impact. You will work within a cross-functional pod alongside Engineering, Product, and Design to support testing efforts and contribute to building high-quality, reliable software. This role reports to an Engineering Manager and is embedded within a product pod, where you will collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers.

This role is designed for a recent graduate or early-career candidate who is excited about automation, enjoys problem-solving, and wants to grow into a technical QA or SDET career path over time.
