Job description

Role overview

Own quality across a configurable software platform and the customer solutions built on it. You’ll combine established QA practices with AI-assisted and agentic testing: creating automated coverage, deciding when generated results need human review, and helping teams gather sound evidence before releases. The platform supports research and manufacturing workflows, so testing must account for varied customer configurations as well as core product behavior.

Responsibilities

• Create and execute test plans for features and fixes, and run regression checks across releases.
• Write, extend, and maintain automated tests with AI coding assistants, reviewing their output carefully.
• Design testing workflows where agents explore product behavior and customer configurations, then triage their findings.
• Identify recurring manual checks and automate high-cost regression work.
• Expand test coverage in CI/CD and investigate performance anomalies using logs, database data, and scripts.
• Work with engineering, DevOps, and customer-facing teams to test platform-based solutions and improve QA practices.

Requirements

• Three to five years of software quality assurance experience.
• Ability to plan and execute feature, bug-fix, and regression testing.
• Experience or aptitude in automated testing and maintaining test coverage.
• Judgment to assess AI-generated tests and agent findings, identify where human verification is needed, and communicate the evidence required for release.
• Ability to investigate application behavior using logs, data, or scripts.

Benefits and work setup

• Remote independent-contractor role for someone based in Brazil.
• Work in English during Brazil time-zone hours alongside a Brazil-based team.
