Job Overview:
You'll own quality end-to-end for ThriveCart's e-commerce platform — test strategy, automation, defect prevention, and production health monitoring. This isn't a click-through-test-cases role: you own quality for your domain.
AI is a core part of the workflow here, not a bonus skill — for generating test cases, creating test data, drafting test plans, and accelerating automation. What we're hiring for is judgment: knowing which tests actually matter, understanding risk, and thinking critically about AI-generated output.
This description spans L1–L4. Interview depth and expectations scale with level — see Qualifications & Expectations by Level below.
What You'll Own:
Test Strategy & Planning
Own the quality strategy for your features and domain: test plans, risk assessment, coverage decisions
Flag ambiguities and testability gaps during requirements review, before code is written — shift-left quality
Define acceptance criteria in partnership with Product
Balance manual exploration with automated regression coverage
Document test plans, coverage decisions, and known risk areas for async visibility across the team
Test Automation
Write and maintain automated tests (API, integration, end-to-end) using the team's frameworks
Keep automation suites fast, reliable, and maintainable — flaky tests are yours to fix, not ignore
Maintain CI/CD integration for test execution
L3+: Design and evolve the overall test automation architecture
Production Quality & Incident Response
Monitor features in production using observability tools — quality doesn't end at release
Respond to dev-escalations and incidents with urgency: assess blast radius, run targeted regression testing, help isolate root cause, communicate findings clearly
L3+: Own incident response from the quality side — lead triage, coordinate regression testing, write post-mortems with defect analysis, drive preventive fixes
L4+: Coordinate all QA activity during major incidents, communicate to stakeholders, ensure systemic fixes are validated before release
AI-Augmented QA (Expected, Not Optional)
Use AI tools daily: generating test cases and data, drafting test plans, analyzing bug patterns, accelerating automation writing
AI will generate more test cases than you need — prioritize ruthlessly based on risk
Review all AI-generated test output critically: AI has no product context, you do
L3+: Teach junior QAs effective AI workflows for testing; establish team AI quality standards
L4+: Set team standards for AI tool usage — evaluate tools, measure impact on coverage and velocity
Defect Advocacy & Communication
Write clear, reproducible bug reports that developers can act on immediately
Advocate for quality: flag risks before release, document known issues, be explicit about what is and isn't tested
L3+: Partner with Product and Engineering on quality metrics, track trends
Collaboration
Work closely with developers to improve testability at the code level
Help developers write better unit tests by identifying untested scenarios
L3+: Mentor L1/L2 QAs on testing mindset, automation skills, and risk thinking
