About Us

Brij is a venture-backed, high-growth software startup based in NYC. Our AI-powered platform helps omnichannel consumer brands gain valuable data to “bridge” online and offline audiences and drive revenue across channels. Our suite of tools—including warranty registration, sweepstakes & rebates—empowers brands to connect with their consumers wherever they shop. We work with some of the best brands in the world including Heineken, Feastables, Momofuku, Health-Ade, Skullcandy, and Gozney.

We’re a lean, diverse team with a bias toward action and extreme ownership. Our customer-first mindset drives everything we do, and we’re excited to build the future of omnichannel commerce.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer with an extreme ownership mentality and a track record of building and scaling test automation systems in a fast-paced SaaS environment. This is a high-impact role focused on quality, reliability, and speed. You’ll be instrumental in establishing our automated testing infrastructure, reducing manual QA cycles, and ensuring every release is rock solid.

If you’re passionate about automation, love catching bugs before users do, and want to help shape a quality-first engineering culture, this role is built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Own the development and maintenance of automated test suites for web applications (frontend and backend).
  
• Create and manage end-to-end, integration, API, and regression tests using tools like Playwright, Cypress, Postman, and Jest.
  
• Collaborate closely with engineers and product managers to define test plans, edge cases, and acceptance criteria for new features.
  
• Proactively identify bugs and issues before releases through automation, exploratory testing, and CI/CD integration.
  
• Ensure complete test coverage across our core flows (rebates, sweepstakes, registration, data collection).
  
• Build QA dashboards and reporting systems to track release quality, test coverage, and flakiness trends.
  
• Continuously evolve test architecture and processes to keep pace with our rapid release cycles.
  
• Help instill a quality mindset across the team, contributing to a culture of ownership and accountability.
  

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in QA with at least 3 years focused on automation in modern SaaS environments.
  
• Deep experience with JavaScript/TypeScript-based test frameworks like Playwright, Cypress, and Jest.
  
• Hands-on experience with API testing using Postman, REST Assured, or similar tools.
  
• Experience implementing QA in CI/CD pipelines with tools like GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar.
  
• Strong understanding of frontend/backend architecture and modern web stacks (React, Node.js, MongoDB preferred).
  
• Familiarity with bug tracking, test case management, and documentation tools (e.g., Linear, Jira, Notion).
  
• Excellent communication skills and a passion for delivering high-quality software.
  
• Bonus: Experience with performance and load testing tools (e.g., Artillery, k6).
  
• Bonus: Prior experience in an early-stage startup or SaaS company.
  

You’ll Thrive Here If You

• Take extreme ownership of your work and love proactively finding and fixing issues.
  
• Believe quality is everyone’s responsibility and love collaborating across teams.
  
• Are obsessed with clean automation, clear documentation, and fast feedback cycles.
  
• Want to help build a testing culture that scales as fast as the product does.
  

Why Join Us

• You’ll be the first QA hire building a modern automation strategy from the ground up.
  
• Work on high-impact features that get shipped fast and used by real customers every day.
  
• Competitive compensation and a high level of autonomy.
