- 5+ years of experience in software QA, with a strong focus on test automation
- Demonstrated experience creating and maintaining automated test suites (unit, API, integration, and E2E)
- Experience with PHP/Laravel is required
- Experience with modern Javascript frameworks like Vue, React and Angular
- Solid understanding of REST/GraphQL API testing and integration patterns
- Experience working with CI/CD systems and incorporating automated testing into deployment pipelines
- Ability to learn new technologies quickly and adopt modern testing approaches
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a systems-thinking mindset
- Able to work independently and collaboratively in a cross-functional team environment
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain test strategies and results clearly to both technical and non-technical team members
- Experience with automation frameworks such as Cypress, Playwright, PHPUnit, Pest, or similar
- Comfort working with Git, Linux command line tools, and continuous integration systems
- Experience designing maintainable, testable frameworks in complex systems
- Familiarity with API testing tools like Postman, k6, or custom frameworks
- Willingness to learn AI-specific testing patterns, including prompt engineering, context evaluation, and LLM behavior monitoring
- Ability to diagnose, reproduce, and resolve issues, contributing code fixes when appropriate
- Have used test platforms that incorporate AI for increased productivity
- Experience with AI/ML testing frameworks or AI tooling (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pydantic, OpenAI evals, etc.)
- Deployment expertise: containerization, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), production monitoring
- Prior QA experience in a B2B SaaS environment
- Experience building a QA practice from scratch or acting as a QA lead
- Flexible 60/40 hybrid workplace plan
What the job involves
- Optix is looking for a Quality Assurance Automation Engineer to design, build, and own a modern, automated QA practice as we evolve from a rules-based automation platform into a leading conversational, agentic workspace management system
- You’ll establish the processes, tooling, and automation frameworks that ensure our platform remains stable, scalable, and reliable, especially as AI-powered features become core to our product
- Working closely with our product team, you will develop automated testing systems, build AI-assisted QA workflows, and directly contribute to issue resolution when bugs arise
- This is a rare opportunity to create a QA discipline from the ground up inside a profitable, proven SaaS company
- You will shape how we test and validate software, particularly AI features, while collaborating with experienced AI leaders who will help you sharpen your testing, automation, and AI evaluation capabilities
- Create and own Optix’s QA strategy, including processes, frameworks, and quality standards
- Build automated test suites (unit, integration, API, end-to-end) that scale with a fast-moving product
- Introduce AI-assisted QA processes such as AI-generated test cases, regression detection, and output evaluation
- Collaborate closely with Engineering and Product to integrate QA early in the development cycle
- Identify opportunities to improve user experience, product reliability, and development velocity
- Troubleshoot, reproduce, and validate bugs, contributing fixes when appropriate
- This is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing technology startup. Taking care of our team on this journey is a priority
