You take manual repetitive checks and turn them into automation that runs on its own with AI agents and the newest tooling as your accelerators. This is build the safety net work not ticket closing.

Tasks

• Wiring tests into our pipelines so every launch and logic change is verified automatically with a clean pass/fail signal
• Using AI agents MCP and tool calling to multiply what you can build including agents that drive and test the product like a real user

• Familiar with test automation tools (e.g. Playwright Cypress Selenium or similar) or eager to learn them fast

• You like clean reliable tests and catching bugs before they ship

Bonus points:

• You have wired up external APIs before

Benefits

• Above average compensation
• Public transportation benefits
• Flexible hours that fit around your studies
