QA Engineer

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.
