Job summary

Bytebeam is hiring a senior QA engineer to own release confidence across Bytebeam's products and build agentic automations that help developers test, debug, validate, and ship faster. This is a hands-on automation, tooling, and quality-ownership role, not a test-case coordination position.

The role focuses on developing automation, developer tooling, and quality ownership; you will design testability with engineers, create fixtures and diagnostics, and mentor QA interns to improve testing and

Qualifications

• 5+ years testing production software, with strong hands-on automation experience.
• Strong Python or TypeScript and experience with tools such as Playwright, pytest, k6, or equivalent.
• Experience testing APIs, distributed workflows, data pipelines, and asynchronous behavior.
• Ability to build practical developer-facing tools, automations, and diagnostics that reduce manual effort and improve feedback loops.
• Ability to make clear release judgments from evidence and communicate risk precisely.

Responsibilities

• Own risk-based test strategy and release-readiness decisions across web, API, data, and connected-device workflows.
• Build and maintain automated coverage across browser, API, integration, performance, and failure scenarios.
• Build agentic automations and developer tooling that improve the engineering lifecycle, from local development to release validation.
• Design testability with engineers while features are being shaped, not after implementation.
• Create reliable environments, fixtures, mocks, data builders, and diagnostic tooling.
• Track escaped defects and flakiness to root causes and drive corrective changes.
• Mentor QA interns and improve how the wider engineering team tests, debugs, and reports quality.

We are hiring a senior QA engineer to own release confidence across Bytebeam's products and build agentic automations that help developers test, debug, validate, and ship faster. This is a hands-on automation, tooling, and quality-ownership role, not a test-case coordination role.

What You'll Do

• Own risk-based test strategy and release-readiness decisions across web, API, data, and connected-device workflows.
• Build and maintain automated coverage across browser, API, integration, performance, and failure scenarios.
• Build agentic automations and developer tooling that improve the engineering lifecycle, from local development to release validation.

Must-Have Skills

• 5+ years testing production software, with strong hands-on automation experience.
• Strong Python or TypeScript and experience with tools such as Playwright, pytest, k6, or equivalent.
• Experience testing APIs, distributed workflows, data pipelines, and asynchronous behavior.
• Ability to build practical developer-facing tools, automations, and diagnostics that reduce manual effort and improve feedback loops.
• Ability to make clear release judgments from evidence and communicate risk precisely.

Good-to-Have

• IoT, fleet, telematics, OTA, edge-device, or unreliable-network testing.
• Experience building CI quality gates and observability-driven test diagnostics.
• Experience building AI-assisted or agentic workflows for testing, debugging, triage, or developer productivity.

What Success Looks Like

• The team releases more frequently with fewer regressions, and developers have better tools and automations to validate changes, diagnose failures, and move faster through the development lifecycle.
