Role
Who you are

- Strategic thinker: Understands when to automate, when to test manually, and where to focus coverage
- Collaborative mindset: Builds strong relationships with engineers and product managers, working together to raise the quality bar
- Quality advocate: Passionate about preventing bugs rather than just finding them
- Experience with test automation frameworks
- Working knowledge of TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js preferred)

- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and integration of tests into automated deployments
- Familiarity with load/performance testing, and monitoring tools

- Preferred: Startup experience, thriving in fast-paced, product-driven environments
What the job involves
- The Senior QA Engineer at MagicSchool
- Ai will play a critical role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of our products
- This is not a role where you simply execute test scripts — you’ll be an active partner in QA strategy, helping engineering define what and how to test while driving best practices across the organization
- You won’t be responsible for writing every test yourself — instead, you’ll enable engineers to build quality into their code, own the QA infrastructure, and ensure we have the right testing coverage where it matters most
- You’ll balance ad-hoc manual testing, regression testing, and business-critical path validation with automation strategies to make sure we deliver a delightful, reliable user experience
- Be an active partner in shaping our QA approach and processes
- Define testing strategies across frontend, backend, and API layers to ensure we test the right things at the right level
- Help engineers define and write tests but not own every test — especially unit tests
- Establish and maintain the QA infrastructure, frameworks, and tooling needed for efficient testing at scale
- Perform ad-hoc manual testing for new features and high-risk areas
- Design and execute regression testing plans to prevent unexpected breakages
- Lead business-critical path testing to ensure the core user flows always work flawlessly
- Build and maintain automated test suites where they drive significant value — especially around integration, end-to-end, and regression testing
- Work closely with engineers to embed quality into the development process from day one
- Collaborate with product managers and designers to define acceptance criteria, edge cases, and risk areas early in the lifecycle
- Advocate for quality-first thinking, ensuring we deliver features that are not only functional but also robust and reliable
- Act as a bridge between engineering, product, and users to make sure we’re building the right things and validating them thoroughly
