QA Engineer

About MinuteBox At MinuteBox, we're crafting the next generation of legal tech for global enterprise firms. Our platform handles the heavy lifting of corporate entity management, document automation, and high-stakes compliance workflows. We're a small, senior engineering team where shipping fast means building quality into the architecture from day one. You'll work across the full stack—from high-concurrency backend services to our reactive, high-performance frontend—ensuring every release is solid, scalable, and correct. We ship fast — and shipping fast only works when quality guards are built in from the start, not bolted on at the end. QA is involved from the first line of a feature, and we're looking for someone to dive in and help build those guards. What you'll do Review product PRs - go through diffs, assess what changed, and verify behavior against the linked ticket before merge. Run risk analysis on each: blast radius, feature-flag boundaries (LaunchDarkly), test-coverage gaps, and rollback safety Cover PRs with tests at the right layer: Unit tests (Jest/Vitest) for pure logic API tests (Playwright) against our V2 REST API, including async filing/search flows and BigQuery verifcation. UI end-to-end tests (Playwright), following our Page Object MOdel and scenario conventions Add the coverage PRs are missing - including teammates' PRs that shipped without tets - and flag what still needs manual QA Manual tests - Performan manual testing and validation Test features hands-on — verify new and changed functionality across corporate entity and minute book workflows, share capital, compliance, and the async e-filing pipeline, with manual exploratory testing where it adds value Triage and investigate issues — analyze customer-support handoffs, reproduce bugs, distinguish real regressions from flaky tests, and trace root causes through the codebase, Sentry, and GCP/BigQuery logs. Execute regression plans for releases — work through the test plan for a release, run the relevant suites, and report what passed, failed, or needs a closer look. Manage test cases and runs — keep cases up to date in TMS, log clear and reproducible bug reports in issue-tracking platforms Build quality gates with AI — we run a suite of custom Claude Code skills and agents (PR review, bug triage, risk analysis, test generation, E2E debugging, fixture management) that let us put more guards in place, faster. You'll use them to do more — then apply your own judgment to confirm the results actually hold up. What we're looking for Core Requirements Solid experience in software QA with a strong automation focus Proficiency with TypeScript/JavaScript and a modern E2E framework (Playwright preferred; Cypress/Selenium experience translates). Monorepo workflow — comfortable in a Git environment: branches, PRs, reading diffs, running tests locally. Clear written communication — precise bug reports, reproducible steps, and well-scoped test plans Strong testing fundamentals — test design techniques, equivalence partitioning, boundary analysis, risk-based prioritization — not just clicking through happy paths. API testing — comfortable writing and debugging tests against REST endpoints, including async/polling flows. Strong pluses AI tooling — comfortable using Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or MCP-based tooling to move faster. Cloud Infrastructure — familiarity with GCP, Firebase, and BigQuery for log investigation. Feature flags — exposure to LaunchDarkly or similar release practices. Code reading ability — ability to read backend services to investigate root causes. Domain expertise — experience in document-heavy or legal/fintech domains How we work Speed needs guardrails. We move quickly by building quality gates as we go. QA from the start. Quality is shaped during development, not inspected after it. AI-assisted gates. We lean on AI tooling to generate tests and surface risk faster. Human judgment. AI accelerates work; it doesn't replace the sane checks required to understand the product. Pragmatic coverage. We prioritize well-targeted gates on real risk over vanity metrics Why join Real-world impact. Work on a product that legal professionals rely on daily Quality-first culture. Build the gates that enable fast shipping without sacrificing confidence. Senior team. Have a significant impact on a small, senior engineering team
