Staff Quality Assurance Engineer / SaaS Startup / Remote

Job Description

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.
Required Skills & Experience

• Staff-level software engineering experience with deep expertise in Quality Engineering and test automation
• Strong experience designing, coding, and maintaining automated testing frameworks across multiple layers, including unit, integration, contract, and browser/E2E testing
• Strong experience with TypeScript/Node.js and modern software engineering practices
• Hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks such as Jest and Playwright
• Experience testing distributed, service-oriented systems and validating functionality across service boundaries
• Strong understanding of API testing, integration testing, and automated test architecture
• Experience working with AWS and cloud-based applications
• Ability to define and implement organization-wide testing strategies and quality standards
• Strong communication skills with the ability to coach engineers, collaborate with Product Managers, and influence technical leaders
• Ability to work independently, identify ambiguous quality problems, and drive them to measurable outcomes

Desired Skills & Experience

• Experience standing up or scaling a Quality Engineering practice within a growing engineering organization
• Experience using AI tools such as Claude to improve testing workflows and engineering productivity
• Experience building AI-assisted workflows, agent skills, MCP integrations, or automated testing tooling
• Experience with PostgreSQL and data-integrity testing
• Experience with performance and load testing
• Familiarity with React and frontend application architecture
• Experience with Redis and queue-based asynchronous processing
• Experience with Datadog and application observability, including Real User Monitoring (RUM)
• Experience in PropTech, real estate technology, or B2B2C SaaS environments

What You Will Be Doing Daily Responsibilities

• Own the automated testing strategy and frameworks across the company's core products
• Establish comprehensive automated coverage for critical user journeys and high-risk product experiences
• Build and maintain end-to-end testing infrastructure using tools such as Playwright, Jest, and contract testing frameworks
• Create risk-weighted testing strategies and establish measurable quality metrics across engineering teams
• Build dashboards and reporting mechanisms that provide visibility into automated test coverage, production traffic coverage, and escaped defects
• Modernize integration testing by replacing manual partner verification processes with API-based automated testing
• Identify and resolve environment, testability, and tooling gaps that prevent teams from effectively testing their systems
• Develop AI-first testing workflows using Claude, MCP tooling, APIs, and CLI-based automation to make complex testing faster and more repeatable
• Partner with Engineering teams to establish quality earlier in the development lifecycle rather than relying on testing at the end of the process
• Coach developers on automated testing best practices and help engineers take ownership of their own test coverage
• Establish CI quality guardrails, coverage ratchets, deployment health metrics, and processes for reducing flaky tests
• Track escaped defects and quality trends against critical user flows and engineering performance metrics
• Partner with engineering leadership and product teams to identify opportunities to improve system reliability, testability, and overall software quality
