What You'll Do

• Architect, build, and maintain robust end-to-end test automation frameworks using tools like Playwright.
• Design test strategies that cover the full stack: UI, API, smart contract interactions, and wallet flows.
• Write and maintain tests for Web3-specific user journeys including wallet connection, transaction signing, contract interactions, and on-chain state verification.
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines and own the health of those pipelines.
• Leverage AI-powered development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.) to accelerate test authoring and framework development, and bring strong opinions on how to do this well.
• Identify gaps in test coverage, prioritize ruthlessly, and drive continuous improvement.
• Champion quality culture across the engineering org.
• Stay ahead of the curve on new testing tools, frameworks, and Web3 ecosystem shifts.

Who You Are

Automation Expertise

• 7+ years of experience in QA engineering with a strong focus on automation.
• Deep hands-on experience with Playwright and/or Cypress; familiarity with others (WebdriverIO, Selenium, Puppeteer) is a plus.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python).
• Experience designing and scaling test frameworks from the ground up, not just maintaining existing ones.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD practices and integrating tests into pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, etc.).

Web3 Knowledge

• Working knowledge of core Web3 concepts: wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect), transaction signing, smart contracts, gas, RPC endpoints, and on-chain/off-chain interactions.
• Experience testing dApps and writing tests that interact with or simulate blockchain state.
• Familiarity with testnets or mocking Web3 providers is a strong plus.

AI-First Mindset

• Active, hands-on user of AI code generation and developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT).
• You have real opinions on where these tools shine and where they fall short - you've found the edges.
• You use AI to move faster without sacrificing rigor, and you can teach others to do the same.

The Right Mentality

• Self-starter who identifies problems and drives solutions without waiting to be asked.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to operate effectively in a fast-paced, resource-constrained startup environment.
• Curious by default, you read release notes, follow ecosystem developments, and enjoy going deep on new tools and technologies.
• Clear communicator who can translate quality risk into terms the whole team understands.
