## About the role

Our engineering team has grown fast, and testing hasn’t kept pace with it. QA and test automation have always lived inside the dev team itself, and as we’ve scaled that’s started to break: regressions are reaching production more often, and every team tests things a little differently.We’re hiring someone to fix that. You’ll own testing across all of Taiv, the box (firmware, software, and detection models), our web apps, and our backend.

## What they're looking for

- You’ve built a testing suite before, not maintained one someone else designed. You know what it takes to stand up testing infrastructure from scratch and you’ve done it
- You’re fluent in Playwright and Maestro, or tools like them, and you can write test plans for both a brand-new feature and a five-year-old piece of legacy code
- You’ve tested across different kinds of software. TypeScript and React are familiar territory, and you’re comfortable testing Android apps too
- You think about testing at the systems level. You understand that testing firmware and embedded systems isn’t the same problem as testing a web app, and you can hold both in your head at once
- You can get other engineers to change how they work. Setting a standard is one thing, getting people to actually follow it is another, and you know how to do both
- 5+ years of experience in QA and test automation, with real ownership of a testing suite at a previous company
