Role description
Influence MobileAI QA Engineer (Recent Grad) — Remote, US/Canada
Starting salary: $55,000/year. Fully remote, US or Canada only. Not a traditional QA role — send a 2-minute video, not a cover letter (details at the bottom).
About the Role
We're looking for a recent college grad in Computer Science or UI/UX who's excited about using AI to transform how quality assurance works. You'll handle manual testing for new features, but your core mission is building AI-driven QA processes that reduce the need for manual testing over time. You'll join as we expand to iOS, building QA from scratch for a brand-new platform, with real ownership from day one.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and execute manual test plans across our Android app, upcoming iOS app, web tools, and backend services
- Research, evaluate, and implement AI-powered testing tools and frameworks
- Build and maintain automated test suites that reduce manual testing time and increase coverage
- Document QA processes, test cases, and quality standards
- Track, report, and triage bugs with clear reproduction steps and severity assessments
- Report on QA metrics: test coverage, defect escape rate, automation percentage, time-to-release
- Participate in sprint planning, feature reviews, and release processes
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, UI/UX Design, Software Engineering, or related field (graduated within the last 2 years)
- Demonstrated interest in AI/ML tools — personal projects, coursework, or self-directed learning
- Basic programming skills (Python, JavaScript, or similar)
- Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Self-starter, comfortable working independently in a remote environment
Nice to Have
- Experience with testing frameworks (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium)
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Git
- Mobile app testing experience (Android preferred)
- Prompt engineering or AI-assisted development experience
- A portfolio showing creative problem-solving
Growth Path
This role is a launchpad. Within 18-24 months, based on your performance and interests, you'll move into one of:
- Product Manager — own features end-to-end, drive roadmap decisions
- Project Manager — lead cross-functional initiatives and timelines
- Senior QA / Test Automation Engineer — architect testing infrastructure, mentor others
Compensation & Benefits
- $55,000/year starting salary, with annual performance-based reviews
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off
- Home office stipend
- AI tools subscription
- Fully remote
- 3x Washington Best Workplace, Inc. Best Workplace (2023)
