• Design, build, and maintain a comprehensive UI automation test suite and quality tooling using Typescript, integrating wallet extensions such as MetaMask and Keplr into the testing workflows.
• Validate functionality across diverse web applications, backend services, blockchain infrastructure, APIs, and protocol-level features to ensure seamless user experiences.
• Investigate issues spanning frontend, backend, infrastructure, and distributed systems by analyzing logs, metrics, network traffic, and system behavior to identify root causes.
• Collaborate actively with Product, Engineering, DevOps, and other stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle to align testing efforts with product goals.
• Contribute to release validation, test strategy formulation, automation initiatives, and continuous improvement efforts that enhance overall product quality.
• Leverage AI-powered tools and workflows to accelerate testing, automation, investigation, and productivity as part of modern quality engineering practices.
• Support new products, features, and initiatives as business priorities evolve, ensuring testing coverage keeps pace with rapid development cycles.
• Assist with production investigations, incident analysis, and post-release validation to uphold system reliability and user trust.
• Proactively identify quality gaps, process inefficiencies, and opportunities to improve product reliability, testing coverage, and overall system robustness.
• Implement and refine test frameworks, utilities, and documentation to enable scalable and maintainable testing practices across the organization.
• Partner with developers to create testable builds, reproduce bugs efficiently, and verify fixes to reduce friction in the development workflow.
• Monitor test suite health, optimize execution times, and maintain high standards of reliability and performance for automation pipelines.
• Explore emerging testing methodologies, tools, and patterns within the Web3 and blockchain domains to bring innovative quality practices to the team.
• Ensure all testing activities align with security, compliance, and operational standards relevant to financial applications and blockchain systems.

Requirements

• 4-5 years of experience as a QA Engineer with a proven track record in delivering quality for complex software products.
• Experience testing frontend Web3 applications, dApps, wallets, smart contract integrations, or other user-facing blockchain experiences to ensure correctness and usability.
• Experience testing frontend trading platforms, decentralized exchanges, financial dashboards, or other complex distributed applications with user-critical workflows that demand high reliability.
• Experience with both manual testing and test automation, demonstrating a balance between exploratory testing and structured test coverage.
• Proficiency in Typescript and experience developing or maintaining automation frameworks such as Playwright and internal tooling to support scalable test execution.
• Experience with Playwright, Pytest, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, or similar technologies to build resilient and maintainable test environments.
• Experience testing and debugging REST, gRPC, WebSocket, or other API-driven systems to validate backend services and integration points.
• Familiarity with blockchain transactions, wallet integrations, blockchain explorers, and smart contract interactions to effectively test decentralized applications.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across multiple layers of the technology stack, from frontend interfaces to backend services.
• Ability to quickly learn new products, technologies, and domains with minimal guidance, adapting to evolving project requirements and technologies.
• Comfortable contributing across different products, technologies, and layers of the stack rather than focusing on a single specialization, ensuring flexibility and collaboration.
• Strong sense of ownership and the ability to independently drive investigations from problem discovery through resolution, ensuring issues are thoroughly understood and addressed.
• Practical experience using AI tools to improve productivity while applying sound engineering judgment and common sense to ensure quality outcomes.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills when working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to convey findings, risks, and recommendations clearly.
• Willingness to participate in on-call rotations or incident response activities as needed to support production systems and maintain high availability.
