The listing
About the Role:
Our QA-Core team exists so every engineering team at Upgrade can test their software quickly and trust the result. We are seeking a Senior QA Automation Engineer on the team to architect and build test automation infrastructure, tooling, and agentic solutions to increase engineering productivity. This is not a traditional product QA role - it’s a build role. You will work closely with our product teams to understand their automation requirements, design services from scratch, ship them to production clusters and own them.
This is a fully remote position open to candidates who are based in the US.
Our Core Technologies Include:
Java, Python, Kubernetes, Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, TestNG, Maven, Git, Jenkins, ArgoCD, SQL, Grafana, SumoLogic, Docker, Gatling, Claude Code, MCP server
What You’ll Do:
-
Design and own automation framework for functional and performance testing.
-
Build agents to automate existing QA/testing workflows and remove engineering friction.
-
Build the applications and services that automation depends on, deploy them, and operate them in production environments.
-
Take prototypes all the way. Build demos in a timely manner, gather feedback from the teams who'd use it, and iterate through successive versions until it's hardened, monitored, and running with matured quality.
-
Identify gap areas in existing frameworks and tools, and iterate toward solutions that close them.
What We Look For:
-
5-7+ years building production software, with demonstrated depth across test infrastructure, test frameworks, and developer tooling, and working knowledge of platform engineering.
-
Proven track record building agentic solutions and test automation frameworks from the ground up — designed, shipped, iterated on, and adopted as part of how other engineers work.
-
Fluency with agentic coding tools as part of your daily workflow: ability to orchestrate multiple agents to execute, review agent-generated PRs.
-
Hands-on experience with micro-services, Kubernetes and managing deployment lifecycle
-
Ability to take an ambiguous problem statement to a scoped, defensible solution independently.
What We Offer You:
-
Competitive salary and stock option plan
-
Paid coverage of medical, dental and vision insurance
-
Flexible PTO
-
Opportunities for professional growth and development
-
Paid parental leave
-
