QA Automation Engineer

🎯 Role

As a QA Automation Engineer, you’ll help make Memorang’s web, mobile, and AI-enabled learning products reliable, accessible, and ready for real learners. You’ll combine hands-on exploratory testing with pragmatic automation, partnering with product, design, and engineering from specification through release.

This is not a ticket-closing role. You’ll surface risks early, translate acceptance criteria into clear test plans, and help build the quality systems that let a fast-moving team ship with confidence.

🛠️ Sample projects could include…

• Building and maintaining Playwright smoke and regression coverage for core web journeys, including authentication, account management, content flows, assessments, purchases, and reporting.

• Creating concise, cross-platform release checklists for web, iOS, and Android, with clear pass/fail evidence and owner handoffs.

• Reviewing specifications, designs, and acceptance criteria before development to identify edge cases, missing states, accessibility risks, and testability gaps.

• Testing large or high-risk changes across UI, APIs, permissions, integrations, and data flows; documenting reproducible findings in Linear with screenshots, recordings, logs, and expected behavior.

• Establishing deterministic test data, stable test accounts, and test IDs that make automated checks dependable in preview, staging, and CI environments.

• Expanding API, contract, negative-path, and permission coverage to complement UI automation and reduce flaky end-to-end tests.

• Investigating failures, validating fixes, and turning incident learnings into regression checks or improvements to the release process.

• Partnering with engineering to improve preview and staging workflows, quality gates, CI feedback, and release-readiness reporting.

🤝 You might be a fit if you…

• Have 5+ years of QA or quality engineering experience, including meaningful ownership of automation and release validation.

• Write maintainable test code in JavaScript or TypeScript and have hands-on experience with Playwright or comparable web automation frameworks.

• Can test across web and mobile surfaces and understand the differences between browser, iOS, and Android validation.

• Have experience testing REST APIs, integrations, authentication, permissions, and data-dependent workflows—not only happy-path UI behavior.

• Know how to design risk-based test plans, prioritize critical journeys, and balance manual exploration with durable automation.

• Care deeply about accessibility, responsive behavior, error states, and the real user experience.

• Produce high-signal bug reports with clear reproduction steps, evidence, expected versus actual behavior, and appropriate severity.

• Communicate clearly with product and engineering partners, challenge ambiguous requirements constructively, and close the loop on fixes.

• Treat automated test failures as engineering signals: you can diagnose flakiness, improve test reliability, and keep CI feedback actionable.

• Are comfortable operating in an evolving environment and improving the quality process as the product and team scale.
