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.

• 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 Code Rabbit to assist with review and catch issues earlier.

• 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, Test Rail, or similar.
• Comfort owning the quality pipeline for a small team shipping quickly.

• Experience introducing automation into an environment that previously relied on manual QA.
• Full‑stack familiarity that helps you reason about where things break.
