Responsibilities

Automated Test Infrastructure: Build automated test suites from scratch covering web, backend APIs, and critical trading flows. We recommend TypeScript and Playwright, but you'll have input on the stack
Release Quality: Define and own the release testing process. Work with the TPM to ensure releases are structured, tested, and still shipping fast
Product Coverage: Deeply understand the product so you can identify what to test. Trading flows, market creation, settlement, edge cases that could cost users money
CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated tests into the deployment pipeline so issues get caught before they hit production
Bug Tracking & Visibility: Use Linear to track issues, coordinate with engineering on fixes, and maintain visibility into quality metrics
Team Building: As we grow, hire and mentor 2-3 additional QA engineers to build out the function
