Job description

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to help us ship our product to customers reliably, across three surfaces: web application portal that property managers and executives use every day, a mobile app that maintenance techs depend on in the field, and APIs that keep everything in sync.

What you’ll do

• Design, build, and maintain automated test suites across our Web Portal (web), the Technician App (iOS and Android, including offline scenarios), and AppWork’s backend APIs.
• Partner with engineers across AppWork’s R&D squads, covering maintenance operations, resident experience, and core infrastructure, to build testability into new features from day one.
• Identify gaps in test coverage and prioritize automation work based on risk, usage, and customer impact rather than testing everything equally.
• Investigate and reproduce bugs, document them clearly for engineering, and verify fixes before release, using automation.
• Maintain and improve CI/CD test pipelines so failures are caught quickly and are easy to diagnose.
• Test AppWork’s integrations to confirm work orders and unit status sync correctly in both directions.
• Contribute to test strategy for AppWork’s growing AI features.
• Champion quality across the team by advocating for testable designs, clear acceptance criteria, and a strong regression safety net as AppWork scales.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in QA automation, with a track record of building and maintaining automated test suites from scratch.
• Hands-on experience testing web applications and REST APIs.
• Comfortable reading and writing code (JavaScript/TypeScript or similar) to build, debug, and maintain test automation.
• Experience with modern test automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines (for example Playwright, Cypress, Postman, and GitHub Actions, or equivalent tools).
• A strong instinct for risk: you know which parts of a system need the deepest coverage and which can rely on lighter checks.
• A clear communicator who can write bug reports and test plans that both engineers and non-technical stakeholders can follow.
• Fluent English, spoken and written, for documentation and team communication

Nice to Have

• Mobile test automation experience (iOS and Android).
• Experience testing systems with real-time sync or offline-first behavior.
• Experience testing integrations with third-party systems.
• Experience with load and stress tests.

Why Work for AppWork

• Competitive compensation package
• Stock options
• Recognition and rewards programs
• A collaborative, upbeat environment with company events throughout the year
