QA Engineering, Test Orchestration

Title: QA Engineer, Test Orchestration
Location: Remote
Reports to: Engineering Manager
Employment Type: Exempt / Full-Time

Strong Mind is a remote-first education and technology company on a mission to transform learning for students, families, and educators across the country. For more than 25 years, we’ve partnered with schools and districts to deliver innovative, student-centered learning experiences powered by technology, compassion, and bold thinking.

We believe education should be flexible, human, and built for real life. That belief shapes how we design our products, support our partners, and work together as a team. At Strong Mind, you’ll find smart people doing meaningful work, a culture rooted in trust and accountability, and leaders who genuinely care about both outcomes and people.

You’ll be part of Strong Mind’s Engineering organization, working closely with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Release, Principal Engineers, and QA peers across multiple product teams.

The team is responsible for building scalable, reliable, and increasingly AI-enabled learning systems while maintaining a high standard of product quality. In this role, you’ll help strengthen how Strong Mind validates software before release by developing modern testing strategies, improving automation and regression practices, and helping teams build quality into the development process.

The team culture is collaborative, innovative, and focused on continuous improvement. You’ll have opportunities to influence quality standards, mentor peers, and help shape how AI and automation are used to improve software quality across Strong Mind.

In this role, your work will directly impact the reliability and quality of Strong Mind’s learning products by building testing systems and strategies that increase coverage, accelerate feedback, and reduce release risk.

You’ll own the regression testing strategy and help establish clear testing procedures and quality gates in partnership with Release. You’ll also help engineering teams improve testability, failure visibility, and CI/CD signal quality.

Rather than treating quality as a bottleneck, you’ll help build a scalable quality system that allows Strong Mind to move quickly while maintaining confidence in what we release.

While no two days are exactly the same, you can expect to:

• Design, build, and operate AI-driven testing workflows using agents, automation, and orchestration to expand test coverage and accelerate feedback.
• Develop and maintain an end-to-end regression strategy, including test prioritization, risk-based coverage, and suite maintainability.
• Partner with Release to define testing procedures, quality gates, exit criteria, and go/no-go recommendations for production readiness.
• Optimize regression testing through intelligent test selection, parallelization, flaky-test remediation, and risk-based coverage.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to improve testability, failure observability, and signal-to-noise within CI/CD pipelines.
• Analyze release risk, failure patterns, and escaped defects to identify opportunities for additional automation and prevention.
• Establish and promote shared QA standards, test-design practices, and regression strategies across product teams.
• Use AI tooling thoughtfully by prompting, evaluating, and governing agentic test generation and triage to ensure results remain accurate and trustworthy.
• Mentor QA peers and help engineering teams adopt modern testing and quality practices.
• Participate in release readiness reviews and post-incident learning sessions to strengthen future prevention.
• This position requires availability to work core business…
