Our platform simplifies move-ins and generates additional revenue for property managers, and is already trusted by tens of thousands of homes. As a fast-growing leader in the industry, we have raised $21 million from top-tier investors such as Founders Fund Seed, Gigafund, NextGen Ventures, and Tim Draper, whose portfolios include SpaceX, Tesla, and Facebook. Role Overview We are looking for a QA Engineer who combines strong manual and exploratory testing with practical test automation. You’ll help our team release reliable changes across renter, partner, and internal operations applications, APIs, and third-party integrations. You’ll turn product requirements into clear test scenarios, investigate unexpected behavior, and verify fixes with reproducible evidence. You’ll also maintain and extend automated regression tests, use AI tools to support your investigation and test design, and check their output against the actual product. Working across a small engineering team, you’ll help distinguish product defects from test, data, and environment problems so that release decisions are based on trustworthy results. What We Offer Fully Remote: Work from anywhere in the world. Competitive salary paid in USD. High ownership and autonomy in a dynamic, growth-oriented startup environment. Opportunity to work on a rapidly growing product with real impact. Be part of one of the fastest-growing B2B ARR companies in the PropTech sector. No formal educational degree required—we value your skills and experience. All candidates are welcome! Key Responsibilities Design and execute risk-based manual, exploratory, API, and regression tests using written acceptance criteria and an understanding of the customer’s workflow. Test complete flows across applications and integrations, including permissions, data persistence, notifications, background processing, error handling, and critical edge cases. Investigate failures using browser developer tools, API requests, logs, basic database queries, and relevant code changes. Distinguish confirmed defects from hypotheses and flag product decisions that need clarification. Write actionable bug reports with reproduction steps, expected and actual results, the tested environment and version, and screenshots, recordings, or other supporting evidence. Prioritize release blockers separately from improvements and unrelated defects. Retest fixes and affected workflows, then communicate QA results, remaining risks, and blockers clearly in tickets and pull requests. Maintain and extend Playwright regression tests in TypeScript or JavaScript, including test data, page objects, setup, and cleanup. Investigate failed CI runs and reduce flaky or misleading results.
