Senior QA Automation Engineer

Introduction

Ling is a language learning app with 2M+ learners across 70+ languages. Our engineering team is small, and we test alongside development rather than at the end.

We already use Maestro, Bruno, AI code-review agents, and nightly AI-driven chaos testing. We want someone to take our automation and AI-driven testing to the next level.

You'll own the automation roadmap, automate what is still manual, and help engineers take greater ownership of testing. We're looking for a hands-on builder who uses AI tooling daily and turns new ideas into reliable workflows.

This is a senior IC role with mentorship responsibility for two QA engineers, with potential to grow into QA leadership as the team expands.
