About The Position

We're looking for a QA Engineer who is excited to make a meaningful impact from day one. This is a hands-on Quality Assurance Engineer role focused primarily on manual testing, with a clear path toward increasing automation as our testing strategy evolves. You'll work closely with Product, Engineering, and Design to ensure every release meets our quality standards. Beyond executing test cases, you'll contribute to test planning, identify risks early, validate user experiences across web and mobile platforms, and help shape our long-term automation strategy. We're looking for someone who understands not only how to automate tests, but why, when, and what should be automated. Sound methodology, architecture, and judgment are more important than simply writing large numbers of automation scripts. Exciting Opportunities in this Role: Help shape the quality of an AI-powered product used by veterinary professionals around the world. Build a strong foundation in modern QA practices with mentorship and opportunities for career growth. Contribute to the evolution of our automation strategy while gaining hands-on experience with tools like Playwright. Work with modern development workflows, including GitHub Actions, AI-assisted testing, and Agile delivery. Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Designers throughout the development lifecycle. Test across both web and mobile applications while gaining exposure to end-to-end product quality. Influence release quality by proactively identifying risks, improving testing processes, and raising the overall quality bar.
