About the role

We’re looking for a QA Automation Engineer who wants to own that quality. You’ll learn our products inside out, help us move from manual checks to smart, AI-assisted automated testing, and become the person the team trusts to say “this is ready.” You’ll work directly with our technical project manager and engineers, get hands-on with the latest AI testing and agent tools, and have room to grow into a broader engineering role as you prove yourself. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Test new features end to end across our web platforms and mobile apps, thinking like a teacher, a director and an admin, and catch issues before they reach customers
  • Write clear test cases and acceptance criteria, using AI to generate and expand them quickly
  • Build and maintain automated regression suites (e.g. Playwright, Cypress or similar) so every release is checked consistently without repetitive manual work
  • Evaluate and pilot new AI-forward QA testing platforms (self-healing, agent-driven and visual AI testing tools), measure what actually saves time, and help us adopt the ones that work
  • Verify that reports, dashboards and data exports reflect real user activity accurately
  • Test user journeys that span systems, such as course completion, certificates and automated customer emails
