[Hiring] Quality Assurance Analyst/Engineer @OfferUp

Role Description

We are looking for a Quality Assurance Analyst/Engineer to help shift quality left, innovate new ways of testing earlier, and build a mindset of quality in every team. This isn't a role where you just receive a build and test it. You'll be embedded with your product and engineering team and active from the first conversation about an idea:

• Partner with product and engineering from discovery and design, shaping acceptance criteria and risk models, understanding the user and the business risk not just the spec.
• Use AI as a collaborator across the lifecycle: generating test scenarios from specs and designs, triaging failures, analyzing logs and crash data, building and keeping automation healthy as the app changes, and even fixing bugs.
• Build and refine AI-assisted workflows, such as agents, reports, and prompts that other QA and engineering teammates can reuse.
• Use production signals (analytics, crash reports, support tickets, user reviews) to decide where to test and what to monitor.
• Define and track quality metrics that matter to the business, not just pass rates.
• Work independently on complex QA tasks requiring planning, scheduling, and testing where a variety of factors may impact results in a fast-moving start-up environment.
• Experiment, measure, and share what works. We expect you to try new approaches, remove ones that don't pay off, and teach the team.
• Strengthen test resilience (flaky test reduction, self-healing, smarter selection) so the team spends time on judgment, not maintenance.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a QA Analyst / QA Engineer.
• 3+ years performing functional, integration, regression, and performance testing.
• Excellent communication skills both written and spoken (fluency in English required).
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward experimenting, shipping, learning from production, and iterating quickly.
• Demonstrated judgment in applying AI to QA work: you know where it accelerates you, where it needs human oversight, and how to validate its output.
• Experience designing prompts, workflows, or agents that improve test design, execution, or analysis.
• Experience in Mobile app & Web testing.
• Experience automating testing (especially in Maestro and Playwright).
• Knowledge of QA Methodology and tools.
• Experience gathering test requirements and creating detailed test plans.
• Experience working directly with engineering teams to provide quality support.
• BS in Computer Science or related discipline or equivalent experience.

Requirements

• Helpful, but not required: ISTQB certifications.
• Experience with Agile development methodologies.
• Familiarity with AWS cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
