Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Somnia is a company specializing in high-performance decentralized technology, particularly in the blockchain space. They are seeking a Senior QA Engineer to own end-to-end testing across their dreamDEX product, ensuring quality and reliability before anything ships. The role involves defining test strategies, building automated test infrastructure, and driving defect management for a system handling customer funds.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end test coverage across the system: order matching, settlement, margin and liquidation, deposits and withdrawals, the API surface and the frontend
- Define the test strategy for every new product and feature before it ships: spot, perps and event contracts
- Build automated test infrastructure, using AI to multiply your reach: generated test cases, agent-driven exploratory testing and LLM-assisted triage
- Drive a edge-case testing: partial fills, reorg and oracle-deviation scenarios, liquidation cascades and the agent-driven attack surface (we run a live red-team scope for DoS and exploitation on testnet)
- Communicate effectively and proactively with other parts of the organisation and drive discussions between different projects. Reporting is a massive part of what you do, you are constantly pushing information to those who need it in order to help them make better decisions
- Run regression and load testing against Somnia's throughput and latency profile
- Drive defect management, ensuring issues are prioritised appropriately, root causes are understood and regressions cannot recur
Skills
- 7+ years of QA experience on perpetuals trading systems: a perp DEX, or a perps CEX combined with strong Web3 experience
- Fluency in the failure modes of matching engines, settlement and margin systems
- Automation-first mindset with strong test-engineering skills
- AI-native working style: you use AI tooling daily to write, generate and triage tests, and you're comfortable testing systems that agents trade on
- Comfort operating hands-on in a fast-moving environment with significant ownership
- Smart-contract testing experience, fuzzing or a security-adjacent background
- Experience testing REST / WebSocket trading APIs and bot or agent integrations
- Experience taking a new venue or major trading product through its first launches
