Job summary

Cargofy is seeking a QA Engineer to join a small 7-engineer team and own the QA process for a Laravel/Vue.js web platform and AI-enabled workflows. You will write test cases, run on staging, and ensure no production releases without your sign-off.

This role combines manual testing with automation, using Playwright or Cypress, API tests, and CI integrations. You will seed data, reproduce bugs, and help shape QA strategy in a remote-first logistics tech company.

Qualifications

• 2+ years in QA of web products, including automation on a real project.
• Daily use of Claude Code, Codex, or similar AI coding agents for test case generation and automation.
• Proficient in SQL for data checks, log reading, and CI workflows.

Responsibilities

• Write test cases and checklists for features and run them on staging before every release.
• Own the regression suite across the web app, API, workflows, AI agents, and integrations.
• Automate critical flows with Playwright or Cypress, API tests, and CI runs.
• Set up test accounts, seed data, and sandboxes for calls, SMS, and email; avoid testing on live client data.
• Reproduce bugs reported by Customer Success and clients, file them with steps, priority, and owner, and verify fixes.
• Smoke test production after each deploy.
• Build regression for AI agents with scenario datasets and expected behavior after prompts or workflow changes.
• Use Claude Code or Codex to turn task descriptions into test cases and seed data.

Job description

Cargofy is building the AI-native operating system for global freight. Cargofy deploys autonomous AI agents that automate procurement, dispatching, negotiations, operations, tracking, and workflows for carriers, shippers, and 3PLs across the US, Europe, and Asia. Our platform processes 100,000+ loads per day and hundreds of thousands of real-time events. Every release touches live shipments.

We need a QA Engineer who combines manual testing with automation. You will be the only QA in a team of 7 engineers, so you set up the process yourself: what we test, how, on which data, and what gets automated first. Nothing ships to production without your sign-off.

What You Will Do

• Write test cases and checklists for features from the task tracker and run them on staging before every release
• Own the regression suite across the web app, API, workflows, AI agents, and integrations
• Automate critical flows: E2E tests with Playwright or Cypress, API tests, runs in CI
• Set up test accounts, seed data, and sandboxes for calls, SMS, and email. No testing on live client data
• Reproduce bugs reported by Customer Success and clients, file them with steps, priority, and owner, and verify fixes
• Smoke test production after each deploy
• Build regression for AI agents together with engineers: scenario datasets, expected behavior, runs after every prompt or workflow change
• Use Claude Code or Codex to turn a task description into test cases, seed data, and automation faster than writing it by hand
• Product: Laravel backend, Vue.js 3 frontend, REST APIs, Odoo, LLM-based agents (voice calls, email, Telegram, SMS)
• AI tooling: Claude Code, Codex, or similar agentic coding tools are part of the daily workflow, not an experiment

Who You Are

• 2+ years in QA of web products, including automation on a real project
• You work with Claude Code, Codex, or a similar AI coding agent every day: generating test cases and test data, writing and refactoring autotests, triaging logs. You can show how you use it
• SQL for data checks, reading logs, basic Git and CI
• Clear bug reports and the autonomy to decide what to test first
• English for documentation and written communication

Nice to Have

• Testing LLM products, chatbots, or voice agents: evals, non-deterministic output, hallucinations
• Load testing (k6, Locust) or security testing
• Experience with Laravel, Vue, or Odoo
• Logistics, TMS, freight, or another document-heavy domain

Why Cargofy

• Your sign-off stands between the code and real shipments, visible impact every day
• You build the QA process, you do not inherit one
• Work at the intersection of AI and logistics, testing agents in production, not demos
• Competitive compensation + stock options for top performers
• Clear OKRs and a small team that ships every day
• Remote-first with offices in Kyiv, Warsaw, and Houston
