Company Overview

We’re working with a fast-growing Series A startup building an AI-powered platform for enterprise software delivery. The company is backed by leading investors and works with large global organizations on complex, high-impact projects.

You’ll join a small, highly technical team and work closely with Engineering, Product, and the founding team.

The Challenge

We’re looking for a QA Engineer to build and own the company’s quality function.

This role goes beyond traditional QA. You’ll be responsible for building automated test coverage while also developing ways to evaluate AI-generated and non-deterministic outputs.

You’ll have significant ownership over how quality is defined, tested, and maintained across the product.

Must Have

• 5+ years of experience in QA, SDET, or Test Engineering
• Strong experience building and owning automated test frameworks for production products
• Strong experience with Python and/or TypeScript
• Experience with modern E2E testing frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, or equivalent
• Strong API testing experience
• Hands-on CI/CD experience, including building and maintaining test pipelines
• Experience with regression, integration, and end-to-end testing
• Experience identifying and managing flaky tests and false positives
• Strong understanding of test prioritization, severity, and release quality gates
• Experience testing systems with non-deterministic outputs
• Professional-to-fluent spoken English

Nice to Have

• Experience testing LLM-powered or agentic features
• Experience designing evaluation frameworks, golden datasets, or scoring criteria
• Experience with hallucination detection or human-in-the-loop workflows
• Experience with SAP, ERP, CRM, or other enterprise software
• Experience with SAP testing tools such as Tricentis or Worksoft
• Experience with UAT and enterprise software testing cycles
• Performance, load, or security testing experience
• Ability to contribute code and fix bugs, not only identify them

Soft Skills

• High ownership and autonomy
• Strong judgment and prioritization
• Comfortable working without an established playbook
• Strong attention to quality and detail
• Comfortable challenging decisions when quality is at risk
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, early-stage environment

Benefits

• Hybrid schedule in São Paulo — 3 days/week in office
• Direct access to Engineering, Product, and the founding team
• High ownership over the QA function and quality standards
• Opportunity to work on challenging AI and enterprise software testing problems
• Opportunity to build QA processes and infrastructure from the ground up

Hiring Process

• Initial conversation with FitNext
• Interview with the company
• Technical assessment/interview
• Final interview with the team
