About The Position

We are hiring QA Automation Engineers (AI Focus) to become part of our product teams and own automated quality end-to-end — with AI at the center of how we test. We're building our QA practice around AI-powered test automation. This is not a manual-testing role and not a click-through QA role — it's an automation engineering role where AI is the core tool, not an add-on. You'll use AI-powered and agentic testing tools to generate, maintain, and scale automated coverage across our products, backed by solid automation-engineering fundamentals. On some products there's little or no automated coverage today — your mission is to build it from the ground up, fast, using AI to get there. You're automation-first, comfortable in ambiguity, and you take full ownership of quality.

Requirements

• AI QA Automation (must-have, #1 priority): Significant, hands-on experience with AI-powered / agentic testing tools (e.g. testRigor, mabl, QA Wolf, Applitools, Octomind, Meticulous, or similar) — using AI to generate, maintain, and scale automated testing. This is the single most important requirement.
• Engineer-in-Test: You can code. Solid in JavaScript/TypeScript (Java or Python also welcome) — you build and debug automation frameworks, not just scripts.
• E2E Automation: Hands-on with Playwright (or Selenium) and browser dev tools.
• API Testing: Strong with Rest Assured and/or Postman.
• CI/CD: Comfortable wiring automated tests into pipelines.
• Cloud: Working experience with AWS (EC2, S3, CloudWatch).
• Experience: 3+ years in test automation. We prioritize demonstrated automation + AI capability over raw years.
• Automation-First Mindset: We are explicitly not hiring for manual-only QA.
• Communication: Strong English (C1+), direct and collaborative.

Nice To Haves

• Understanding of LLMs / AI app development (we build AI products, not just test with AI tools).
• Node.js / Next.js familiarity (to fix the platform, not just test it).
• Docker / containerized test environments.
• ISTQB and/or AWS certifications.
• Health-tech, fintech, or regulated-domain testing experience.

Responsibilities

• AI-Driven Test Automation (core): Use AI-powered / agentic testing tools to generate, self-heal, and maintain automated tests, dramatically scaling coverage and keeping it current with a fast-moving codebase.
• End-to-End Automation: Build and maintain robust E2E suites with Playwright (or equivalent) across complex, integrated user journeys.
• API & Integration Automation: Automate API/integration coverage with Rest Assured / Postman, including mocking and service virtualization for fast, isolated feedback.
• CI/CD Quality Gates: Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar) as enforced gates.
• Test Stability & Reliability: Reduce flakiness, enable parallel execution, and keep results trustworthy.
• Cross-Functional Ownership: Partner with developers and product owners to align test strategy and, where you can, fix the platform issues you uncover.

Benefits

• AI-First Quality: Build a modern, AI-driven QA practice from scratch — no legacy testing org to fight.
• Real Engineering: This is an engineering role; you work in the codebase, not around it.
• Meaningful Purpose: Your work helps families navigate the journey of assisted reproduction.
• High Autonomy: Fully remote, ownership over micromanagement.
• Compensation: Up to $5,600 USD/month
• Location: Remote — LATAM based.
• Full-time engagement as an independent contractor
• Must be able to work within US Eastern (EST) business hours.
