QA Automation Engineer
Fully Remote, North or South America · Computer/SoftwareQA Automation Engineer
Our client is the first and largest peer-to-peer marketplace driven to change how the world views laundry. Their customers tap the app and outsource their laundry. For them, it’s life without laundry, because it was hacked out of existence. They solve a second problem too, which is that more and more people of varying backgrounds want to work from home. Luckily most people have an underutilized washer/dryer, which when combined with their Laundry Pro app, provides the first-ever manual labor work-from-home gig in the world.
Perfect product market fit drove a 100x surge in users & revenue and double-digit MoM growth over the past few years. In 2021 they scaled to 500+ markets throughout the United States. In March 2022 they closed a $10m seed round which included VC investments from Headline, Origin Ventures, Starting Line VC, Ludlow Ventures, and Clean Ventures, as well as notable angel investments from some of Silicon Valley’s most successful founders. Rocket growth continued in 2022 and 2023.
You won’t just “test our app”—you’ll break it, bend it, push it to its limits, and then automate it all to make sure we never let a bug slip through the cracks. Your role will be to build automated testing environments that do more than just catch mistakes—they’ll predict them before they even happen. You’ll be the hero behind the scenes, making sure that when our product hits the spotlight, it’s flawless.

- Break the Rules (Smartly): Challenge our developers to think ahead by running code through a gauntlet of tests that simulate the most unpredictable real-world scenarios.
- Team Up: Work closely with our product managers, engineers, and designers to understand the intricate details of every feature and define test strategies. Your feedback will shape how we approach quality from day one.
- Keep the Wheels Turning: Integrate your automated tests with our CI/CD pipeline so we can deliver fast without sacrificing an ounce of quality.
- See Beyond Bugs: We don’t just want someone to find issues—we want someone who anticipates problems before they even become problems. Root cause analysis is your superpower.
- Make Us Faster, Smarter: Continuously improve our testing processes, finding new ways to automate, streamline, and ensure quality at speed.
- Protect the past. Perform regression testing and validate fixes for reported issues.
