Reporting to the Manager, IT Engineering, you will implement support models and security guidelines established by the Senior System Administrator, and also collaborate with teams who manage other aspects of the overall company technology stack.
You will be joining a grouping of operations teams including Legal and Procurement as well as IT.
Hours are 9-5:00 EDT with occasional minor after-hours responses to simple support requests, or very rare 8-8:30 AM start times due to support needs after major system changes

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.

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:

End-to-End Automation & Frameworks: Build, maintain, and execute automated test frameworks and regression suites across UI, API, and service layers using modern AI-assisted practices.
AI & LLM Validation: Test and validate internally built LLMs and external AI tools and services, applying rigorous quality engineering standards to non-deterministic systems.
Scrum & Delivery Ownership: Own test planning, execution, and release support from story validation to production deployment with minimal oversight.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Engineering, Product Management, and Product Design early in the lifecycle to refine ambiguous requirements into clear, testable acceptance criteria.
Quality Advocacy & Mentorship: Serve as the team's quality advocate, providing technical guidance, conducting code reviews, and pairing with mid-level quality engineers.
Defect Management & Observability: Establish best practices for defect tracking, triage, and communication while using AI tooling for issue detection, reproduction, and resolution.

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.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience testing AI-driven features, LLM outputs, or ML-backed services.
Familiarity with performance and accessibility testing.
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI).
Prior background in EdTech or consumer-facing SaaS products.

#LI-Remote

1c:T17d6,

We are hiring a Contract PHP Website Developer to work on GenerationGenius.com. You will refine and break bodies of work into small and iterative deliverables, guide the team in setting achievable sprint goals and will organize sprints to ensure work is delivered with a high degree of quality and in a timely manner. As a member of the Technology team, you will partner closely with Engineering, Product Management, and Product Design to refine ambiguous goals into clearly defined, iterative work items. We work AI-native. Coding agents (Claude Code) are how this team builds, reviews, and operates.

Why You'll Love This Role:

Someone who owns the full lifecycle. Takes a problem from request to shipped, monitored, and stable in production.
Comfortable asking questions and shaping scope without heavy PM guidance.
Raises issues early. Catches risks, design drift, and brittle patterns before they reach production - in their own work and in review. Doesn't wait to be asked.
Picks up slack outside their lane. Steps into incidents, jumps into a teammate's PR queue, and drives an unowned problem when priorities shift.
Builds in the AI-native space with discernment. Uses agents as a daily driver, learns their failure modes, and pushes the team's practice forward - not just their own.
Drives delivery. Active in planning and grooming, pushes back on under-specified work, communicates trade-offs clearly to engineering and product partners.

What You'll Be Doing:

Ship full-stack features with measurable product impact.
Provide substantive code review, architectural feedback, not just approvals.
Serve as a first responder for production issues (within working hours): triage, root cause, and preventive measures recommendations.
Improve the team's engineering practice over time: tooling, agentic workflows, technical standards, and documentation that lives where work happens.
Translate product requirements into a technical approach and communicate the reasoning.

About You:

You have 7+ years of experience in website development using PHP and MySQL.
You have built complex web applications with maintainable solutions that work and call various services and APIs.
Advanced knowledge of custom Wordpress development, including data modeling and infrastructure.
Advanced knowledge and ability to leverage semantic HTML, responsive CSS, and modern design patterns to meet your team’s goals.
You will be able to communicate technical concepts and processes in English with at least a professional level of proficiency
Experience with Laravel is a plus
Experience with AWS is a plus
Advanced understanding of modern web app architecture and web fundamentals.
Intermediate to advanced understanding of developer tooling and unit test writing.
Experience with incorporating and working with REST API’s.
Intermediate to advanced understanding of relational databases.
On top of your technical skills, you are excited to work in a collaborative and inclusive environment that supports continued improvement through code reviews and feedback.
You take pride in your ability to identify missing requirements early in the development cycle, create and maintain performant and scalable backend systems, write resilient and testable code, and deliver on sprint commitments.

All offers of employment are contingent upon the successful completion of a background check as part of our pre-employment process.
