Job Description

Be the person who figures out what others can’t. (remote + potential for some travel to HQ)

A venture-backed technology company building a mission-critical platform used by enterprise customers is hiring a Junior QA Engineer to focus on Level 3 support—investigating complex issues, reproducing bugs, and working directly with engineers to resolve problems deep in the system.

This is not a manual QA, test-case-only role.

You’ll be the bridge between support, QA, and engineering, helping diagnose real production issues and improve system quality at its core.

What You’ll Do

  • Investigate and resolve complex, technical issues escalated from support (Level 3)
  • Reproduce bugs, isolate root causes, and clearly document findings
  • Partner closely with engineers to debug and validate fixes
  • Work across a multi-module platform (Ruby on Rails + React)
  • Identify patterns in issues and proactively suggest improvements
  • Contribute to QA processes, test coverage, and system reliability
  • Jump into Slack huddles and collaborate in real-time with the team

What We’re Looking ForCore Profile

  • 1–3 years experience in QA, support engineering, or similar technical role
  • Strong problem-solving mindset and curiosity
  • Comfortable digging into issues others couldn’t solve
  • Able to clearly explain technical problems and findings

Technical Exposure

  • Familiarity with:
  • Web applications (frontend + backend basics)
  • APIs, logs, and debugging workflows
  • Exposure to JavaScript frameworks (React) and/or backend systems (Rails or similar) is a plus
  • Comfortable learning new tools quickly

How You Work

  • Persistent and detail-oriented, you don’t stop at surface-level answers
  • You enjoy figuring things out, not just executing test scripts
  • Strong communicator, especially in a remote, fast-moving team
  • Comfortable being on camera and actively engaging with teammates

Team & Culture

  • Highly collaborative, camera-on, engaged remote team
  • Heavy use of Slack, huddles, and real-time problem solving
  • No silos, QA works closely with engineering and product
  • “Fun” is a core value and the team genuinely enjoys working together

Logistics

  • Remote (U.S.-based preferred)
  • Must be available 9am–5pm Eastern
  • No visa sponsorship at this time

Why This Role

  • Real ownership early in your career
  • Work directly with senior engineers and learn fast
  • Exposure to complex systems, not just surface-level QA
  • Opportunity to grow into more senior QA or engineering roles
