À propos

About this Role VacationRenter is seeking a hands‑on, AI‑driven QA Engineer to build and own the quality function from the ground up. This role is pivotal in ensuring high‑confidence releases across our web, mobile, and platform services, while leveraging AI and automation to scale quality without scaling headcount.
You will be the sole QA hire, responsible for designing systems that replace traditional manual QA processes. This is not a conventional QA role. Instead of managing test cases, you will build intelligent, automated systems that generate coverage, identify risks, and improve product quality at speed.
The ideal candidate is a systems thinker with strong engineering instincts who embraces AI‑first workflows. You will partner closely with product and engineering to embed quality early in the development lifecycle and ensure that testing, validation, and reliability scale alongside the business. This is a hands‑on, code‑first role. You will build systems, not write test case spreadsheets.
This role will report directly to the Head of Engineering. This is a full‑time hybrid position, based in Dallas.
Role & Responsibilities
Build and own an AI‑powered quality function across web, mobile, and platform services
Generate test cases from GitHub tickets, UX workflows, and feature requirements using LLMs
Convert user journeys into automated test scripts across functional, regression, integration, and API layers
Design and maintain automation frameworks for web (Playwright, Cypress), mobile (Appium, Maestro, Detox), and APIs
Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) with intelligent test prioritization and gating
Leverage AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot, Claude) to diagnose failures, triage issues, and implement minor bug fixes
Contribute code through small PRs to improve UI stability, edge‑case handling, and test reliability
Review PRs with a quality‑first mindset, ensuring strong test coverage and identifying risk areas
Partner with Product and Engineering early in the development cycle to define test scenarios and improve feature testability
Build dashboards and reporting to track coverage, release risk, flaky tests, and critical flow health
Own mobile QA across iOS and Android, including device fragmentation, release validation, crash monitoring, and edge‑case testing
Evaluate and implement tooling such as device farms (BrowserStack, AWS Device Farm) as needed
AI Required Skills & Profile We believe AI fundamentally changes how QA operates. You will be expected to continuously evaluate new AI tools, build custom workflows such as LLM‑based test generation and AI‑driven failure triage, and push the boundaries of what one person can accomplish.
Experience with tools such as OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot is expected, but the mindset matters more than any specific tool.

Ability to implement minor bug fixes
Raise, review, and merge PRs with a strong quality lens

Experience working with APIs, automation scripts, and CI/CD pipelines
Strong coding ability, comfortable making minor fixes and contributing PRs
Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to improve workflows
Solid understanding of testing methodologies, including functional, regression, and integration testing
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering and product teams
Preferred Qualifications & Prior Experience
Experience building or scaling QA systems in a startup or high‑growth environment
Experience with mobile testing frameworks and cross‑platform QA (iOS and Android)
Familiarity with MLOps or AI‑driven testing workflows
Experience building dashboards, observability tools, or quality reporting systems
Strong product intuition with a deep understanding of user journeys and edge cases
