Quality Assurance Engineer​/SaaS Startup​/Remote

Staff Quality Assurance Engineer / SaaS Startup / Remote

A rapidly growing technology company transforming the resident experience for property managers and renters is looking for a Staff Quality Assurance Engineer to help establish and scale a modern quality engineering practice. The company has built a resident experience platform designed to simplify everything from resident onboarding and services to property management workflows, creating a more convenient experience for residents while helping property managers operate more efficiently.

With a growing engineering organization and a strong focus on continuous improvement, they're investing heavily in automation, AI-assisted testing, and engineering quality.

As a Staff Quality Assurance Engineer, you'll play a highly influential role in defining how quality is built across the organization. Rather than serving as a traditional manual QA resource or release gatekeeper, you'll own automated testing strategy and frameworks across multiple product teams, with an initial focus on high-risk, consumer-facing resident experiences. You'll work closely with Engineering, Product, and Platform teams to build reliable end-to-end coverage, modernize integration testing, identify system testability gaps, and establish measurable quality standards across the development lifecycle.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior quality engineering professional who views testing as an engineering discipline and enjoys building systems that enable other engineers to deliver higher-quality software. You'll have significant autonomy, work across the entire technology organization, and help shape an AI-first approach to quality engineering using tools such as Claude, MCP, APIs, and CLI-based workflows. If you're passionate about test automation, engineering quality, AI-assisted development, and building scalable testing infrastructure from the ground up, this is an outstanding opportunity to have a significant impact.

This is a full-time remote position open to candidates located anywhere in the United States, with an expectation of working an 8-to-5 EST schedule. The company offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, flexible PTO, and the opportunity to help build a modern quality engineering organization within a rapidly growing technology company.
