Quality Assurance Engineer

About Aperture Cloud AI search just hit 800M weekly users. If your brand isn't visible there, you're invisible to buyers. Aperture Cloud is the most advanced AI SEO and GEO platform, helping brands track and dominate visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI. We ship fast, iterate constantly, and obsess over quality. The Role We're hiring a QA Engineer who catches bugs others miss. You think like a user, break things creatively, and document issues so clearly that developers love you. This is 80% manual testing, 20% automation. You'll test across web and our Chrome extension, ensuring every pixel is perfect and every flow works flawlessly. This isn't a corporate QA role with endless test plans. You ship daily, find real issues, and directly impact what hundreds of thousands of users experience. Your Day: Test new features by thinking of 20 ways users might break them Spot misaligned buttons, wrong fonts, broken responsive layouts Write bug tickets so detailed that devs fix them in one shot Compare designs in Figma to implementation and catch every difference Test across 5 browsers, 3 mobile devices, different screen sizes Jump between testing our AI agents, SEO tools, and billing flows Collaborate directly with developers on Slack to verify fixes What You'll Own Manual testing across our entire platform (web app, Chrome extension) Creating detailed bug reports with screenshots, videos, and reproduction steps Design QA: ensuring pixel-perfect implementation from Figma to production Cross-browser and responsive testing across all devices Exploratory testing to find edge cases others won't think of Building test scenarios based on real user behavior Regression testing for critical user paths before each release Working directly with developers to reproduce and verify fixes You're Perfect If You Must Haves: 2-4 years of QA experience at a fast-moving startup Obsessive attention to detail (you notice when text is 14px instead of 15px) Experience with design QA and comparing implementations to mockups Ability to write clear, reproducible bug reports with proper severity Comfortable testing across web, mobile web, and browser extensions Experience with bug tracking tools (JIRA, Linear, etc.) Strong written communication and documentation skills Technical Skills: Browser DevTools for debugging Basic understanding of HTML/CSS to identify issues Screen recording tools (Loom, CloudApp) Figma or similar for design comparison Basic API testing with Postman Mobile testing on actual devices What Makes You Different You're not just checking boxes on test cases. You actually use products like a real user would. You try weird things. You notice when shadows are wrong, when animations feel off, when error messages don't make sense. You understand that at a startup, perfect documentation matters less than finding critical bugs fast. You can context-switch between testing an AI chat interface and a billing page without missing a beat.
