The Krazy Coupon Lady

2d • $80,000 - $100,000 • Remote

About The Position

The Krazy Coupon Lady (KCL) is a female-founder-owned publisher on a mission to be a shopping non-negotiable, unapologetically helping our readers maximize their money, and seize the deal. Our team of shopping experts curates and hand-tests nearly a thousand deals per week, so there is always something new to discover each time you visit our website, app, and your inbox.
You may have noticed that our headquarters are in Boise, ID, but our workforce is fully remote in the following states: Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, or Wisconsin. All team-wide meetings are scheduled to be inclusive of U.S. time zones.

About This Role
We're looking for an SDET/QA who's hands-on with test automation and ready to grow. Your home base will be mobile, writing and maintaining automated tests that keep our iOS and Android apps shipping with confidence and you'll bring your automation skills across our other consumer-facing surfaces as needs arise.
This is a hands-on IC role. You'll write automation code daily, contribute to testing strategy within your team, and help raise the quality bar across the squads you work with. You’ll report to the QA manager, sit within the Mobile Application Development team and partner closely with engineers across mobile, web, and platform.
You'll focus on three areas:
Mobile Test Automation: writing and maintaining Appium-based automated test suites for iOS and Android across UI, integration, and API layers.
Cross-Platform Quality: applying automation practices to web and other application surfaces when the team needs it.
Tooling and Infrastructure: contributing to the automation framework, CI/CD test integration, and shared test utilities.

Requirements

• You bring 2–4 years of QA or SDET experience with solid mobile automation depth—you've built and maintained test automation for consumer-facing apps, not just one-off scripts. Here, you'll write and execute automated and manual test plans for our iOS and Android apps and extend that work across our web surfaces as the team grows.
• With hands-on experience in mobile testing frameworks (e.g., XCTest, Espresso, Appium, or similar), you'll run test execution across real devices and emulators, learning to scale across device configurations.
• You have experience with automation frameworks (e.g., Cypress, Playwright, Selenium) and can apply them when extending test coverage to web surfaces.
• You usually meet deadlines, flag risks when you're behind, and help the team get product features out on time.
• You update outdated test processes and tools rather than working around them. When a manual workflow can be automated or a flaky step can be fixed, you fix it.
• Your manual and automated test cases cover both positive and negative paths. You'll deliver test suites that your squad can rely on for confident releases.
• Reproducing issues with clear repro steps is second nature—concise defect tickets with screenshots, logs, and automation scripts that make bugs easy to fix.
• Your test code builds on existing patterns, best practices, and established tools. It fits cleanly into the team's infrastructure rather than introducing one-off approaches.
• You keep documentation current: test plans posted in the test-case management system, automation setup guides, and contribution instructions that teammates actually use.
• Your test plans hold up to team review. You incorporate feedback and iterate rather than treating review as a rubber stamp.
• You proactively suggest improvements to testing processes, tools, and coverage rather than waiting to be told.
• You define manual test strategies based on best practices and contribute to the team's automated testing framework (e.g., page-object model, test-data management) so the squad can scale coverage.
• You spot product quality issues through exploratory testing and propose improvements—accessibility gaps, cross-browser coverage, edge cases others miss.
• You participate in generating the team's testing roadmap, contributing capacity estimates and proposing automation items for quarterly planning.
• You receive and incorporate feedback well, and you give constructive feedback to peers, whether that's on automation approaches, testing priorities, or how the team works together.
• You're becoming a go-to expert in an area - mobile automation, a specific tool, a testing domain - and teammates come to you for advice. You guide less experienced QAs on techniques like exploratory test charters.
• You contribute actively in team discussions, sprint retros, and chat channels, sharing what you're learning and asking questions that sharpen the team's thinking.
• You drive cross-team knowledge sharing on testing practices and help build a QA community of practice.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with performance or load testing for mobile or web.
• Familiarity with accessibility testing tools and WCAG compliance.
• Experience with visual regression testing or screenshot diffing.
• Open source contributions or public technical writing.

Responsibilities

• Mobile Test Automation: writing and maintaining Appium-based automated test suites for iOS and Android across UI, integration, and API layers.
• Cross-Platform Quality: applying automation practices to web and other application surfaces when the team needs it.
• Tooling and Infrastructure: contributing to the automation framework, CI/CD test integration, and shared test utilities.

Benefits

• Home Office Perks – We set you up for success with a company-provided laptop, a $450 home office stipend, and monthly reimbursements for internet and phone.
• Time to Recharge – Enjoy 10 company holidays, a floating holiday, flexible PTO (or accrued PTO for select content roles), and a sabbatical every 5 years.
• Health & Wellness – Choose from three insurance plans, with KCL covering 100% of medical and dental premiums (excluding the PPO buy-up). We also offer vision, life insurance, FSA, HSA contributions, fertility benefits, and an Employee Assistance Program.
• Financial & Retirement Benefits – A 401(k) with a 4% company match, multiple bonus opportunities, and professional development perks like certification reimbursement and public speaking bonuses.
