TL;DR · Software Quality Engineer

As a Software Quality Engineer, you will join the team to build and scale quality engineering for a rendering-heavy web application. You will be responsible for developing scalable automation, performing visual regression testing on canvas, WebGL, and WebGPU surfaces, and managing CI/CD execution across various environments. The role involves creating and maintaining automated UI test suites using Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium, while utilizing AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code to accelerate debugging and test creation. You will also perform C++ unit and integration testing using Google Test or Catch2 to validate native layers. Key technical requirements include experience with React Testing Library, Jest, and browser DevTools. You will solve complex problems involving rendering performance, cross-browser compatibility, and identifying risks within the C++/web boundary for high-impact user experiences.

What you'll do

  • Build and scale automated UI test suites using Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium with scalable architectures like Page Object Models.
  • Utilize AI tools to accelerate test creation, debugging, triage, documentation, and coverage analysis while ensuring high signal quality.
  • Perform visual regression testing for standard DOM elements and rendering-heavy surfaces like Canvas, WebGL, and WebGPU.
  • Execute and manage automated tests within CI/CD pipelines across various environments including GPU-enabled runners.
  • Develop and maintain C++ unit and integration tests using frameworks such as Google Test or Catch2.
  • Debug complex issues across the stack, from React frontend components to C++ native layers and WebAssembly bindings.
  • Monitor rendering performance metrics such as frame rate, memory growth, and layout shifts using DevTools and Lighthouse.
  • Triage bugs across the C++/web boundary and communicate technical findings to both frontend and systems engineers.

What we're looking for

  • Experience building and scaling automated UI test suites using Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
  • Proficiency in using AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor for test creation and debugging.
  • Expertise in visual regression testing for standard DOM elements and rendering-heavy surfaces like Canvas, WebGL, or WebGPU.
  • Ability to write component-level tests using React Testing Library or Jest.
  • Experience writing and running C++ unit and integration tests using frameworks like Google Test or Catch2.
  • Proficiency in debugging C++ code using GDB, LLDB, or Visual Studio to identify low-level defects.
  • Experience executing automated tests within CI/CD pipelines such as CircleCI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins.
  • Ability to analyze rendering performance metrics including frame rate, memory growth, and Web Vitals.
