About the role
The Role
We're hiring our first QA Engineer to own quality across the platform, from our customer-facing product to the data pipelines, browser-automation layer, and AI agents that power it. You'll define the testing strategy, build the automation, and put the processes in place that let a small engineering team ship fast without breaking things.
This is a foundational hire. You won't be inheriting a QA org; you'll be building one. You'll own how quality works at NationGraph for years to come, and your standards will shape every product surface our customers touch.
What You'll Do
- Own the test strategy across our stack: frontend (React/Next.js), backend (Python/Go), APIs, browser automation, data pipelines, and AI agent workflows.
- Design, build, and maintain automated test suites; end-to-end, integration, and unit-level using Playwright, Pytest, and modern JS/TS testing tools.
- Stand up evals and regression checks for our LLM-powered agents. Define what "good output" looks like and catch regressions before they ship.
- Run functional, regression, exploratory, and performance testing across web and API surfaces.
- Verify data quality, freshness, and completeness across our scrapers and ingest pipelines, bad data is the worst kind of bug for our users.
- Build and maintain CI/CD test infrastructure in GitHub Actions so every PR is gated by meaningful checks.
- Partner with engineering, product, and data ops to define acceptance criteria and what "done" means for new features.
- Triage incoming bugs, reproduce them cleanly, and drive them to resolution with the right team.
- Establish QA processes, documentation, and quality metrics from the ground up.
