Job summary

Litehouse is seeking a hands-on Quality Engineer to own automation, CI gates, and release confidence across web, mobile, and API surfaces. You will build test harnesses for AI-assisted coding tools, investigate production signals with Datadog, and collaborate with product and engineering from design through release.

This remote-first, distributed team values practical quality, risk-based testing, and clear feedback to strengthen product integrity.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in quality engineering, test automation, SDET, or a similar software engineering role.
• Strong TypeScript or Python skills and a commitment to treating test code like production code.
• Experience building browser automation with Playwright, Cypress, Puppeteer, Selenium, or a similar framework.
• Solid SQL skills and experience validating data across systems or pipeline stages.
• Experience testing APIs and diagnosing failures across service boundaries; GraphQL experience is a strong plus.
• Experience integrating automated tests into GitHub Actions or another CI/CD platform.
• Hands‑on experience using observability to investigate failures and guide test coverage; Datadog experience is strongly preferred.
• Sound judgment about what to automate, what to test manually, and how deeply to test based on risk.
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach to improving quality across a team.

Responsibilities

• Own hands-on QA across web, mobile, APIs, and integrations, including exploratory, functional, regression, and release testing.
• Build and maintain reliable test automation and reusable infrastructure, including fixtures, test data, mocks, and environment setup.
• Add meaningful quality gates to GitHub Actions so the team receives fast, useful feedback before changes are merged.
• Keep the test suite healthy by investigating flaky tests, improving failure reporting, and removing low-value checks.
• Validate data from source ingestion through transformation, storage, and APIs, with automated checks for schema drift, missing or duplicated records, incorrect transformations, and anomalies.
• Test permissions and multi-tenant isolation so roles only see what they should, and one organization's data never leaks into another.
• Help make promotion across environments safer by checking that migrations, seeds, config, and critical journeys stay aligned from development through staging and production.
• Work with engineers and product partners to make requirements testable and identify risk before development begins.
• Use Datadog logs, traces, real user monitoring, dashboards, and alerts to investigate failures and turn production signals into regression coverage.
• Design repeatable test harnesses for coding agents such as Claude Code and Cursor, with controlled environments, seeded data, clear assertions, appropriate tool permissions, and observable results.
• Evaluate AI-generated code and tests for correctness, coverage, and maintainability, and build regression suites for agent workflows.
• Give the team clear, actionable feedback on defects and risks, and help engineers strengthen quality in their everyday work.
