QA Engineer – Part Time

Role Overview

• Own Test Automation
• Build and maintain our E2E test automation framework using Playwright
• Create and expand regression test suites covering critical advisor workflows—login, client views, conversation flows, insights display, and recommendation panels
• Implement visual regression testing to catch UI inconsistencies across browsers and devices
• Set up component-level testing with React Testing Library + Vitest for frontend isolation
• Establish Quality Infrastructure
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) — tests run on every PR, nightly full regressions, and post-deployment smoke tests
• Set up and maintain error tracking and monitoring (Sentry) to catch production issues proactively
• Build test coverage dashboards so the team has visibility into what’s tested and what’s not
• Own the release testing checklist—define what must pass before any deployment goes to production
• Define QA Process
• Create a bug taxonomy and triage process—severity levels, SLAs, reproduction templates
• Manage bug tracking workflows across Linear and Notion
• Define the QA sign-off process—no feature ships without QA approval on acceptance criteria
• Every confirmed bug gets an automated regression test so it never recurs
• Ensure Production Readiness
• Audit the app end-to-end—document every user flow, edge case, and known issue
• Perform cross-browser and cross-device testing—advisors use Sophie on different setups during client meetings
• Establish performance baselines—load times, streaming response rendering, interaction responsiveness
• Build and own the pre-launch quality gate for our production release

• Experience integrating test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
• Strong understanding of API contract testing—validating frontend/backend integration points
• Solid bug documentation skills—clear reproduction steps, environment details, severity classification
