QA Engineer / Test-Writing Developer
TL;DR
Position: QA Engineer / Test-Writing Developer
Project: Stable, long-term, fully remote
Hours: Full-time preferred (30-40 h/week) but solid part-timers welcome
Compensation: ≈ $60k-$95k / year or $50-$70 / hour (negotiable, skill-dependent)
Why Join: Your tests will guard 16Personalities – a platform that’s already helped hundreds of millions better understand themselves.
What You’ll Do Ship Bullet-Proof Releases
• Design, write & maintain E2E tests in Cypress or Playwright for our Vue-fronted + Laravel-backed site.
• Own the QA pipeline – choose the right mix of integration, component, contract, and smoke tests; keep flaky tests on a very short leash.
• Mix in manual exploratory QA when automated checks won’t cut it (new UX flows, weird edge cases, “this-only-breaks-in-Safari-15-on-Tuesdays” bugs).
• Integrate tests into CI/CD (GitHub Actions) so every merge request and deploy is watched over by your green ticks.
Champion Quality from Day 1
• Jump in early during feature planning to clarify acceptance criteria and suggest test hooks.
• Spot process gaps and pitch improvements (tagged test data, better log aggregation, accessibility checks, etc.).
• Educate & enable devs to write their own happy-path specs, freeing you to chase the gnarlier scenarios.
Keep the User in Mind
• Verify cross-browser quirks, mobile breakpoints, performance bottlenecks, and accessibility conformance (WCAG 2.2 AA).
• Think like our users and hunt for paths they’ll inevitably explore.
Types of Challenges You’ll Work On
• Localization at scale – every major page ships in 52 languages (and counting). Your tests ensure i18n keys, RTL layouts, and locale-specific content DON’T break on release day.
• Multi-device UX – confirm that the flow feels smooth on everything from a budget phone to a 4K desktop.
• Personality-driven personalization – verify that an INFJ in Japanese gets the correct tailored content while an ESTP in Spanish sees theirs.
• Guard our Web Vitals scorecard – run automated Lighthouse / PageSpeed checks in CI, flag anything that creeps past size or performance budgets, and work with other devs to prune dead weight.
If these puzzles sound fun, keep reading.
Who You Are
If your idea of “QA” is waiting for a ticket to land in Linear, move along. We’re after someone who rolls up their sleeves, writes the playbook, and rallies the squad around it.
Must-Haves
• 3-5+ years in QA / test-automation roles for modern web apps
• Experience with component testing tools (e.g. Vitest)
• Deep knowledge of Cypress OR Playwright
• Comfortable with JavaScript/TypeScript & DOM APIs
• Familiarity with Laravel/Vue stack
• Habitual owner – you chase loose ends, not checklists
• Clear, proactive communicator in written & spoken English
Nice-to-Haves
• Visual-regression testing (Percy, Playwright + PixelMatch, etc.)
• Performance testing (Lighthouse CI, k6, etc.)
• Accessibility tooling (axe-core, pa11y)
• Knowledge of Pest or PHPUnit
• Experience mentoring or leading other devs
What We Offer
• True remote freedom – work from anywhere, set a schedule that syncs with life, not the other way around.
• Fair pay – $60k-$95k salary or $50-$70 hourly, plus wiggle room for unicorn-grade talent.
• Meaningful scale – tests you ship today protect features used by millions tomorrow.
• Creative autonomy – green light to trial new tools, refactor brittle suites, and generally leave things better than you found them.
• Growth runway – want to lead QA strategy, dabble in DevOps, or dig into backend test coverage? We’ll cheer you on.
How to Apply
Fill out our short form: . Yeah, that’s it. We’ll review every submission – if we see a spark, expect:
• A quick intro chat on Slack (culture & expectations).
• A short technical session (writing a test or reviewing an existing one).
• Final talk about terms and next steps.
Thanks for taking the time to read—if the role sparks your interest, we’d love to hear from you.
