## About the role

Our customers rely on Reality Defender to make high-stakes calls in real time — whether the voice on a bank's phone line or the face in a job interview is real. As a Quality Assurance Engineer, you'll make sure what we ship holds up to that standard, testing our APIs, SDKs, web app, and real-time integrations, and building the automation that lets us release faster without breaking things. This is a full-time role based at our NYC headquarters or remote within the U.S., reporting to Quality Assurance Lead. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of experience in software QA or quality engineering, testing web applications and APIs in a fast-moving release environment
- Hands-on experience writing automated tests in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar, using frameworks such as Pytest, Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
- Experience testing REST APIs (e.g., Postman or code-based API tests) and working within CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions)
- Strong attention to detail and a systematic approach to finding edge cases — you think about how things break, not just whether they work
- Clear written communication: your bug reports and test plans are easy for engineers to act on
- Experience testing audio, video, or real-time communication products (WebRTC, telephony, conferencing). (nice to have)
