As a remote-first company recognized by Forbes as one of America's Best Startup Employers and by Built In as a 2025 and 2026 Best Place to Work, we are a global team of "Peeksters" who "Obsess Over Our Customers," "Accomplish Big Things," "Collaborate With Purpose," and "Get Better Every Day. THE ROLE We work on several systems: our Connect & Go operations management suite, embeddable scheduling and booking widgets, B2B and B2C sales and support tooling, and custom solutions for enterprise operators. The work is technically varied and the stakes are real: operators depend on this software to run their businesses. We’re hiring a Senior Quality Engineer who works AI-first. That means you treat AI as a core part of how you build test cases, build automated tests, break down ambiguous problems, delegate to agents, review their work critically, create test data, and course-correct when things go sideways. Over the past few months, we've seen a step-function improvement in the reliability and capabilities of long-running AI agents. We're adapting our engineering practice to match, and we want quality engineers who are already building this way and excited to push it further. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Architect and break down ambiguous product problems into concrete, well-scoped test cases and test plans, owning work from design through production release. - Contribute to our AI-first engineering culture, share patterns, document what works, and help the team level up on how we build with AI. - Use AI tools fluently - Claude Code, Augment or equivalent, to compress implementation time, then critically review everything that comes out of them. - Collaborate closely with Product and Design to identify gaps in specs, surface edge cases early, and push back when something isn't ready to ship. - Set the quality bar: well-structured, maintainable code; conduct thorough code reviews; maintain adequate test coverage; and catch bugs AI introduced before they reach production.
