Software engineer

Company details

Description of the offer

Quality Assurance (QA) is one of the biggest unsolved problems in software development. Companies spend over $40 billion a year on software testing…with not-so-great results. Bugs continue to find their way to production, frustrating customers worldwide. Development teams also struggle with QA. Creating automated tests is difficult, tests take forever to run, and failures are hard to debug.

QA Wolf is on a mission to help teams ship confidently. We automate companies’ QA with zero effort by writing and maintaining automated tests. This involves a combination of cutting-edge technology and specialized QA Engineers (like you?!). We are backed by awesome investors including Notation Capital, Sahil Lavingia (founder of Gumroad), and Naval Ravikant (founder of AngelList).

Job Requirements

This is a fully remote position. However, all candidates must be physically located in and have legal authorization to work in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia, without the need for employer-sponsored work authorization, now or in the future. At this time, we are unable to sponsor visas (e.g., H-1B, TN or E-3 in the United States) or support employment based on temporary work authorization (e.g., CPT, OPT, or any EAD in the United States).

• Stays organized, as you will work on multiple customer accounts
