Senior QA Engineer (Founding / Automation & Release Infrastructure)

Location: New York, NY Company Stage: High-Growth Consumer Fintech / Crypto Office Type: Onsite Salary: $200,000 - $400,000 Base + Equity

Company Description

This high-growth fintech platform is building a real-time prediction market that allows users to trade on outcomes across global events. Operating at the intersection of finance, media, and crypto, the platform processes billions in trading volume and is rapidly becoming a new source of truth for real-world probabilities. With increasing scale and complexity, the company is investing in foundational engineering functions to support reliability, trust, and user safety.

What You Will Do

  • Build the quality assurance function from the ground up, defining testing strategy and standards
  • Design and implement automated test infrastructure across web apps, backend APIs, and critical transaction flows
  • Own release quality by defining testing processes that balance speed and reliability
  • Deeply understand product behavior to identify high-risk areas, especially in trading and financial flows
  • Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to catch issues before production
  • Establish bug tracking, reporting, and quality metrics visibility across engineering
  • Partner closely with engineering and product teams to ensure high-quality releases
  • Hire and mentor a small QA team as the function scales

Ideal Background

  • 3+ years of experience in QA Engineering or SDET roles, preferably in fast-growing startups
  • Proven experience building automated test frameworks from scratch
  • Strong experience with modern testing tools (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, or similar)
  • Full-stack testing experience across frontend applications and backend APIs
  • Experience testing financial, trading, or high-stakes transactional systems
  • Familiarity with TypeScript or Python for automation
  • Experience integrating testing into CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, etc.)
  • Strong communication skills with ability to influence engineering decisions and quality standards
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with high ownership

Preferred

  • Experience in crypto, DeFi, or blockchain-based systems
  • Background in trading platforms, betting systems, or financial exchanges
  • Experience leading or mentoring QA teams
  • Exposure to performance/load testing and system scalability
  • Experience with mobile (iOS) testing
  • Familiarity with security testing practices

Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive base salary + equity
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Full health, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • High-impact, foundational role with ownership over QA strategy and team building
  • Opportunity to define quality standards for a platform handling real money at scale

This role is ideal for a builder-type QA engineer who wants to define what “quality” means at a company where correctness, reliability, and speed directly impact real financial outcomes.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
