You'll own quality end-to-end for Thrive Cart's e-commerce platform — test strategy, automation, defect prevention, and production health monitoring. This isn't a click-through-test-cases role: you own quality for your domain.

AI is a core part of the workflow here, not a bonus skill — for generating test cases, creating test data, drafting test plans, and accelerating automation. What we're hiring for is judgment: knowing which tests actually matter, understanding risk, and thinking critically about AI-generated output.

This description spans L1–L4. Interview depth and expectations scale with level — see Qualifications & Expectations by Level below.

• Own the quality strategy for your features and domain: test plans, risk assessment, coverage decisions
• Flag ambiguities and testability gaps during requirements review, before code is written — shift-left quality
• Define acceptance criteria in partnership with Product
• Balance manual exploration with automated regression coverage
• Document test plans, coverage decisions, and known risk areas for async visibility across the team

• Write and maintain automated tests (API, integration, end-to-end) using the team's frameworks
• Keep automation suites fast, reliable, and maintainable — flaky tests are yours to fix, not ignore
• Maintain CI/CD integration for test execution
• L3+: Design and evolve the overall test automation architecture

• Monitor features in production using observability tools — quality doesn't end at release
• Respond to dev-escalations and incidents with urgency: assess blast radius, run targeted regression testing, help isolate root cause, communicate findings clearly
• L3+: Own incident response from the quality side — lead triage, coordinate regression testing, write post-mortems with defect analysis, drive preventive fixes
• L4+: Coordinate all QA activity during major incidents, communicate to stakeholders, ensure systemic fixes are validated before release

• Use AI tools daily: generating test cases and data, drafting test plans, analyzing bug patterns, accelerating automation writing
• AI will generate more test cases than you need — prioritize ruthlessly based on risk
• Review all AI-generated test output critically: AI has no product context, you do
• L3+: Teach junior QAs effective AI workflows for testing; establish team AI quality standards
• L4+: Set team standards for AI tool usage — evaluate tools, measure impact on coverage and velocity
• Write clear, reproducible bug reports that developers can act on immediately
• Advocate for quality: flag risks before release, document known issues, be explicit about what is and isn't tested
• L3+: Partner with Product and Engineering on quality metrics, track trends
• Work closely with developers to improve testability at the code level
• Help developers write better unit tests by identifying untested scenarios
• L3+: Mentor L1/L2 QAs on testing mindset, automation skills, and risk thinking
