Product Quality Analyst 20-25Mmonth Fast Growing Startup

We are building a next-generation AI onboarding agent for software companies.

We are building a complex AI-first product with many interaction paths integrations and real-world usage patterns. As the product evolves quickly we need dedicated continuous manual testing to catch bugs regressions and edge cases before users do.

In addition many important product issues are not strict bugs they are moments where the experience feels confusing unnatural or misaligned with how real users behave in their tools and workflows.

This role exists to systematically test the product end-to-end try to break it surface experiential issues and identify capability gaps where the product cannot adequately support real-world user behaviour.

Tasks

1. Manual & exploratory QA testing

Continuously and creatively test the product by actively imagining and simulating scenarios that could break it or degrade the user experience.

This includes testing across:

• Core user flows
• Edge cases and failure scenario
• Long-running or unusual usage patterns (e.g. extended sessions repeated interactions)
• Different configurations tools environments and devices (e.g. desktop vs mobile)

You are expected to:

• Think adversarially about how real users might use the product in unexpected ways
• Ask what happens if questions and test those scenarios in practice
• Push the product beyond happy paths to uncover hidden weaknesses
• Actively try to break assumptions not just verify expected behaviour
• Test both before and after releases to identify unintended side effects and behavioural drift

Examples include (but are not limited to):

• Staying in a live session for extended periods
• Asking the AI to handle complex ambiguous or high-stakes tasks (e.g. data migration table or cell-level reasoning)
• Using the product in noisy degraded or imperfect conditions
• Switching devices or contexts mid-flow

2. Regression & release testing

• Validate new features and agent capabilities before they go live
• Re-test existing functionality after changes to ensure nothing degrades
• Verify that previously fixed issues do not reappear in new releases

3. Clear issue reporting

Document issues in a way that makes them easy to understand and act on including:

• Clear reproduction steps
• Expected vs actual behaviour
• Supporting evidence such as screenshots videos logs or audio recordings where relevant

Categorise issues clearly for example:

• Bug
• Regression
• UX / product issue
• AI behaviour issue

Work closely with engineering and product to ensure issues are well-understood properly scoped and actionable.

Additional responsibility: product & AI experience quality

Alongside traditional QA work this role helps maintain a high bar for product clarity and human-like AI behaviour.

This includes:

• Flagging UX issues that are confusing unclear or unintuitive (even if technically working)
• Identifying error messages or states that are overly technical or unhelpful
• Testing AI behaviour for:
• Unnatural phrasing or tone
• Awkward timing or interruptions
• Over- or under-explanation
• Calling out moments where this technically works but a real human wouldnt do this
• This role does not decide final wording or behaviour but provides high-signal input to product and engineering.

Additional responsibility: capability gap discovery

While testing the product across different tools integrations and real-world setups you will:

• Observe how users in different tools typically:
• Onboard
• Configure products
• Learn features (e.g. guided tours staged onboarding progressive setup)
• Identify cases where our product cannot adequately support these real-world workflows
• Document capability gaps focusing on:
• The users real behaviour and expectations
• Where the product falls short
• The impact on onboarding success or usability

Capability gaps are:

• Logged separately from bugs
• Summarised periodically (e.g. weekly)
• Reviewed with product leadership

What this role does not do

• Write production code
• Design UX or UI
• Tune prompts or AI models
• Own release gates or quality standards (owned by the Product Platform Engineer)
• Decide roadmap priorities
• This role does not propose solutions design features or set priorities it surfaces high-quality input to inform product decisions.

Requirements

Must-have

• Proactive highly motivated working style
• Ownership mindset - think of yourself as owning product quality
• Strong attention to detail and patience
• Strong product and UX taste
• Curiosity and a desire to break things in realistic ways
• Ability to test complex products independently
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Ability to explain why something feels broken confusing or insufficient

Nice-to-have

• QA or product testing experience
• Experience with SaaS or AI-powered products
• Technical literacy (but not required to code)
