Role
Who you are
- Proven Experience: 3+ years in software QA/QE roles, with hands-on experience in both manual and automated testing of modern web applications. You’ve shipped and maintained test suites in fast-paced environments, ideally with complex, user-facing products
- Test Automation: Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g. Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or similar) and scripting in JavaScript/TypeScript or Python. Skilled in balancing what to automate vs. what to test manually
- Manual Testing Mastery: Outstanding attention to detail and curiosity. You’re methodical, love exploring “what if” scenarios, and never shy away from retesting until every edge case is handled
- Bug Reporting & Reproduction: Crafted clear, actionable bug reports and triaged issues effectively as part of daily workflow. Bonus: You’ve worked with bug-tracking/project management tools (like Jira, Linear, Asana, or similar)
- UI/UX Sensibility: Strong sense for design quality, usability, and accessibility. You notice when something “feels off” and take initiative to get it right for the end-user
- Frontend Familiarity: Comfortable working alongside frontend engineers. You can read developer PRs, understand modern web architectures, and know how to test SPAs, browser extensions, and REST/GraphQL APIs
- CI/CD & Tooling: Experience working with modern development workflows (Git, CI/CD, test runners, build/deploy pipelines). You understand how QA fits into a modern product engineering process
- AI Enthusiasm (Bonus): Curious about leveraging AI tools (e.g. for test generation, bug detection, regression monitoring). You’re excited by rapid innovation and eager to try new approaches
What the job involves
- App Quality Leadership:
- Own the end-to-end quality assurance process for our web applications, extensions, and AI-powered features
- You’ll be the expert who ensures every release maintains our high bar for quality, reliability, and user experience
- Test Authoring & Automation:
- Design, write, and maintain comprehensive test plans, cases, and scripts (manual & automated) for new and existing features
- Champion the creation of robust automated test suites, working closely with developers to ensure critical paths are always covered
- Manual Testing Excellence:
- Independently perform thorough manual testing on our apps and key user flows—every single day
- You’ll explore edge cases, provide actionable bug reports, and guard against regressions that could break trust with our users
- Proactive Issue Detection:
- Identify, investigate, and document defects with clear steps to reproduce
- Partner with engineers to communicate bugs and their business impact, ensuring fast turnaround and continual improvement
- You’ll make it your mission to spot what others miss
- Continuous Process Improvement:
- Continuously optimize our QA process—whether it’s introducing smarter tooling, improving coverage, or advocating for usability best practices
- We move fast and so should our QA: you’ll experiment and iterate on new testing approaches to keep pace with rapid product development
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Work hand-in-hand with product managers, designers, and engineers from feature inception to release—clarifying requirements, reviewing designs for testability, and ensuring we build with quality in mind from day one
- Advocate for the User:
- Be our last line of defense for user experience
- Raise the standard for UI/UX, accessibility, and performance by championing empathy for how real users interact with our products
Our take
Text is often taken for granted, but the ability to generate engaging copy is often out of the reach of companies. Writing product descriptions, marketing materials and blog articles is both time consuming and expensive to outsource. TextCortex was founded to solve this problem, using the latest natural language generation (NLG) technologies to automatically produce copy at a fraction of the time and cost of a human writer.
TextCortex's solution has so far been well-received, with excellent reviews on TrustPilot. It has seen applications in e-commerce as well as being used as a tool by students and writers to assist in preparing articles. However, there have been criticisms that the NLG technology is not quite mature enough to live up to the company's promises, and the articles generated by the engine require as much work to polish as it would take to write from scratch.
TextCortex completed a pre-seed funding round in 2022, led by btov Partners. It is using this investment to improve the technology, hire additional talent, and increase its user base. If it is able to overcome the current limitations of NLG AI, it stands to become a major player in the language AI space.
