职位描述：Newsela致力于为每位学生提供“有意义的课堂学习”。作为高级质量工程师，你将是一个关键力量，通过可靠、高质量的软件确保这一使命的实现。你将与才华横溢的产品工程师合作，测试由基于云的后端服务、内部大语言模型（LLM）和第三方AI工具支持的复杂前端应用。
为什么你会喜欢这个职位：
- 产生重大影响：在你的敏捷团队中负责整个质量流程，并直接支持一项改变数百万学生课堂学习的使命。
- 现代AI工作流：利用前沿AI工具（如Claude Code和GitHub Copilot）加速测试开发，同时测试复杂的非确定性AI功能和LLM。
- 技术主导权：自主构建并设计跨UI、API和服务层的全栈测试框架，具有高度可见性。
- 协作领导力：与产品、设计和工程部门的跨职能同事紧密合作，指导中级工程师，提升整体质量文化。
你将负责的工作：
- 按时交付高质量的测试覆盖率，利用AI工具加速自动化开发，同时不牺牲可靠性或工艺水平。
- 在UI、API和服务层构建和维护自动化测试框架和回归套件，将AI辅助开发实践纳入标准工作流程。
- 在你的敏捷团队中自主负责测试计划和执行的全流程——从故事验证到生产发布支持——只需最少的监督。
- 测试和验证内部构建的大语言模型和外部AI工具及服务，运用良好的质量工程判断处理非确定性系统。
- 与工程、产品管理和产品设计紧密合作，尽早识别质量风险，并将模糊的需求转化为明确、可测试的验收标准。
- 在你的敏捷团队中担任质量倡导者，提供技术指导，提升团队在整个开发阶段的测试方法。
- 向所有利益相关者传达测试状态——清晰且适时地揭示覆盖率缺口、发布风险和缺陷趋势。

The role: Newsela is on a mission to deliver "meaningful classroom learning for every student." As a Senior Quality Engineer, you will be a critical force in ensuring that mission is delivered through reliable, high-quality software. You will work alongside talented product engineers to test complex front-end applications powered by cloud-based back-end services, internal LLMs, and third-party AI tools.
Why you’ll love this role:
- Drive High Impact: Own quality end-to-end within your scrum team and directly support a mission that transforms classroom learning for millions of students.
- Modern AI Workflows: Leverage cutting-edge AI tools (like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot) to accelerate test development while testing complex, non-deterministic AI features and LLMs.
- Technical Ownership: Build and architect full-stack test frameworks across UI, API, and service layers with autonomy and high visibility.
- Collaborative Leadership: Partner closely with cross-functional peers in Product, Design, and Engineering while mentoring mid-level engineers to elevate the overall quality culture.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Deliver high-quality test coverage on time, leveraging AI tools to accelerate automation development without sacrificing reliability or craft.
- Build and maintain automated test frameworks and regression suites across UI, API, and service layers, incorporating AI-assisted development practices as part of a standard workflow.
- Own test planning and execution end-to-end within your scrum team — from story validation through production release support — with minimal oversight.
- Test and validate internally-built LLMs and external AI tools and services, applying sound quality engineering judgment to non-deterministic systems.
- Partner closely with Engineering, Product Management, and Product Design to identify quality risks early and refine ambiguous requirements into clearly defined, testable acceptance criteria.
- Serve as the quality advocate within your scrum team, providing technical guidance that elevates the team's approach to testing throughout all phases of development.
- Own test status communication to all stakeholders — surfacing coverage gaps, release risk, and defect trends with clarity and appropriate urgency.
- Establish and follow best practices for defect documentation, triage, and tracking — and use AI tooling to assist with issue detection, reproduction, and resolution.
- Mentor and grow mid-level quality engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and hands-on guidance.
About You:
- 5+ Years Experience: Professional software testing and QA experience within an Agile Scrum environment.
- Automation Expertise: 5+ years building test frameworks with TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python, including hands-on experience with WebdriverIO or Playwright.
- Full-Spectrum Testing: Demonstrated capability across manual, exploratory, regression, integration, API/services, and database testing.
- CI/CD & DevOps: Solid understanding of Git branching strategies, PR workflows, and incremental CI/CD deployment pipelines.
- AI Tooling Integration: Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) as part of your daily workflow, paired with strong critical thinking and quality ownership.
- Proactive Communication: Ability to engage actively in all scrum ceremonies, surface release risks and defect trends to stakeholders, and handle production escalation support.
Required Industry & Technical Background
- Industry Experience: EdTech, SaaS/B2B software, or e-learning/online education platforms.
- Automation & Test Runners: Playwright, WebdriverIO, or Selenium (E2E browser automation); Jest, Vitest, or Mocha (unit/integration runners).
- Performance & Infrastructure: Experience with k6, JMeter, or Locust; test execution via GitHub Actions and AWS.
- Observability & Management: Experience with logs/error tracking in Datadog, Sentry, or New Relic; test management using TestRail, Jira, Xray, or Zephyr.
All offers of employment are contingent upon the successful completion of a background check as part of our pre-employment process.
