Why GigRadar?
We’re the bootstrapped, scrappy crew behind GigRadar.io the AI-powered growth engine for 800+ Upwork-first agencies. Shipping fast is our default, and quality is non-negotiable. Your mission: break our product before our users do, then help us bullet‑proof it.
What You’ll Own
- Test strategy & execution – author, maintain, and continuously improve test plans, cases, scenarios, and checklists across web (React/TypeScript) and service layers (REST, GraphQL).
- Automation at scale – build and extend reliable Playwright / Puppeteer suites for regression, smoke, and performance. CI is GitHub Actions; flaky tests get no mercy.
- LLM safety testing – design adversarial prompt‑injection and jailbreak scenarios for our Langfuse/OpenAI pipelines; validate guardrails, rate limits, and red‑team exploits.
- API diligence – craft Postman / code‑level tests that hammer our endpoints, validate schema changes, and surface latent edge‑cases.
- Quality culture – pair with devs on PRs, champion shift‑left testing, and turn bug reports into repeatable test artifacts.
Must‑haves
- 5+ yrs hands‑on QA (mix of manual + automation) in modern SaaS.
- Pro in JavaScript/TypeScript test automation (Playwright or Puppeteer).
- Deep knowledge of REST & GraphQL testing (Supertest, pact, or similar).
- Battle scars from red‑teaming LLM apps: prompt injection, jailbreaks, safety evals.
- Solid fundamentals: test design techniques, risk‑based testing, defect lifecycle, traceability.
- Able to work async, write crisp docs, and give ruthless feedback.
Nice‑to‑haves
- Experience with Langfuse, LangChain, or other LLM observability tools.
- Exposure to CI/CD on GitHub Actions and Vercel.
- Basic performance / load testing chops (k6, Artillery, etc.).
What’s In It For You
- Autonomy, not bureaucracy – ship improvements end‑to‑end.
- Direct impact – your work touches thousands of proposals a day.
- Fair comp + meaningful equity – we’re scaling, you’ll ride the upside.
- Annual off‑site in Bali (surf’s up).
