They are seeking a QA Engineer who will focus on automation to proactively find bugs and ensure data quality, working closely with engineering and product teams to maintain system integrity.

Responsibilities

• Design and build automated systems that identify data quality issues, product bugs, and regressions across our web application and data pipelines — reducing reliance on manual discovery
• Write scripts and tooling to detect anomalies, inconsistencies, or failures in large datasets (e.g. malformed records, missing relationships, unexpected distributions)
• Word with product to prioritize identified issues based on business impact, and write or contribute code fixes directly — not just file tickets
• Develop and maintain automated test coverage (unit, integration, end-to-end) with a focus on high-risk areas and data-heavy workflows
• Collaborate with engineering to review data models, API contracts, and backend logic for correctness and edge cases
• Instrument quality metrics and build internal tooling or dashboards to track data health and product reliability over time
• Contribute to release readiness by running automated checks and surfacing risk areas with supporting data

Skills

• 3+ years of engineering experience with a focus on quality, data integrity, or test automation
• Strong Python skills — comfortable writing production-quality scripts, automation, and data analysis code
• Experience working with large datasets: querying, profiling, validating, and debugging data in SQL and NoSQL databases (Postgres/Elasticsearch preferred)
• Proven track record building automated systems that discover bugs or data issues, not just validate known behavior
• Ability to read, understand, and contribute fixes to a production codebase — this role writes code, not just tests
• Comfortable working independently and prioritizing a backlog of quality issues by impact
• Experience with Django, Elasticsearch, or Vue
• Familiarity with AWS-based environments and cloud data pipelines
• Experience building data quality monitoring, alerting, or observability tooling
• Familiarity with tools such as Pytest, Great Expectations, dbt tests, Playwright, Postman, or similar
• Experience as the first or only QA/quality engineer on a team, including setting up processes from scratch
• Experience working with remote or internationally distributed teams
