Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. ConsumerAffairs is hiring an AI Native QA Engineer to own quality across a product area and support daily production deployments. The role combines early requirements review, AI-driven and exploratory testing, defect investigation, release verification, and improvements to QA processes and tooling.
Responsibilities
- Own quality for your area: Work as an active member of a cross-functional team, focusing your testing on the parts of the product where failures would hurt ConsumerAffairs and its customers most
- Review requirements early: Read tickets and designs before development starts, and flag ambiguity, missing acceptance criteria and untested edge cases
- Direct and oversee AI test agents: Set up, run and maintain AI-driven test agents. Review their results critically, and confirm that the tests they produce are reliable and cover the right risks
- Do exploratory testing: Go beyond scripted tests to find issues that automation and AI miss, including unexpected user behavior
- Investigate and report defects: Find whether a failure comes from the application, the test, the data, the environment or an integration. Log clear, reproducible bug reports with evidence and impact, and work with developers until each one is resolved
- Manage test environments and data: Keep staging and QA environments, test accounts and test data ready for reliable testing
- Verify production releases: Run smoke tests on daily production releases. When the evidence doesn't support confidence, raise the risk
- Learn the whole system: Over time, build an end-to-end understanding of how ConsumerAffairs systems, services and integrations work and connect
- Improve how we test: Contribute to QA processes, standards and tooling. Turn production issues and lessons learned into better test coverage
