QA Engineer

We need a dedicated QA engineer, and the urgency is high. With several engineers shipping AI-accelerated code into production every week, code generation isn't our bottleneck — code quality is. This is a full-time, QA-focused role that owns the quality pipeline end to end. It is not a development role with occasional QA; we need someone whose whole focus is keeping what we ship correct and regression-free. What you'll do Own quality across a fast-moving product where multiple engineers push to production weekly. Start with hands-on manual QA, and quickly move us toward automation — we don't want to do this manually forever. Build out smoke tests, a well-organized suite of test cases, and the practices that keep regressions from slipping through. Stand up QA automation using industry-standard tooling, and define how QA works as the team scales. Use tools like CodeRabbit to assist with review and catch issues earlier. What we're looking for U.S. citizenship (required). This role works with sensitive government Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and is subject to government contract requirements. Real QA engineering experience — not just an engineer who occasionally tests buttons. You know what a good bug report looks like, the difference between unit and integration tests, and how to write strong test cases. Hands-on experience standing up QA automation, not only manual testing. Familiarity with industry-standard frameworks: Playwright, Gherkin (BDD), Selenium, TestRail, or similar. Comfort owning the quality pipeline for a small team shipping quickly. Nice to have Experience introducing automation into an environment that previously relied on manual QA. Full-stack familiarity that helps you reason about where things break.
