We inspire a broad and diverse audience to do the activities they love with greater enjoyment, inspiration, and knowledge and are dedicated to making real change in the outdoor and fitness industries.\nAbout the role\nCome join the MapMyFitness team at Outside as a QA Automation Engineer. You will own the test automation strategy for MapMyRun, MapMyWalk, MapMyRide, and our other fitness tracking applications used by millions of athletes worldwide - designing the frameworks, building the coverage, and wiring it all into our CI/CD pipelines so the team can ship confidently and often.\nWe are a lean, AI-augmented engineering team. We use AI coding tools as a force multiplier across development and testing, and we’re looking for someone who is energized by that way of working - not someone who wants to run a large manual QA operation. You’ll work closely with engineers, product, design, and growth marketing, and you’ll tackle testing problems most QA roles never see: GPS route simulation, GPX replay, sensor and location mocking, and real-world edge cases across iOS, Android, and web.\nMapMyFitness is more than a fitness tracking platform - it’s a community that empowers people to achieve their health and fitness goals through data-driven insights and connected experiences. Our North Star is to equip our users with the very best tools to track, analyze, and improve their active lifestyles.\nWhat you will do\nDesign, build, and maintain test automation frameworks for our web, iOS, and Android applications\nIntegrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines so every merge is validated automatically, and own the health of those suites - flake triage, runtime, and reliability\nBuild automated API test coverage for the services that power our apps\nDevelop strategies for testing location-based features, including GPS simulation, GPX replay, and device sensor mocking\nUse AI tools to accelerate test authoring, maintenance, and analysis - and help define how AI fits into our QA workflows\nPerform targeted exploratory and regression testing on new features where human judgment adds the most value\nDocument and track defects with clear reproduction steps and severity assessments\nCollaborate with engineers, product, and design to understand requirements, identify edge cases, and build testability into features from the start\nParticipate in sprint planning, provide QA estimates, and advocate for quality throughout the development lifecycle\nThis describes you\nYou have 4+ years of experience in software quality assurance, including 2+ years building test automation\nYou have strong programming skills in at least one language (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Java preferred)\nYou have hands-on experience building or significantly extending an automation framework using modern tools such as Playwright or Cypress for web, and Maestro, Appium, XCUITest, or Espresso for mobile\nYou have experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or similar)\nYou have automated API testing beyond Postman collections - you can write API tests in code\nYou use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) as a force multiplier and are excited about applying AI to quality engineering\nYou have strong exploratory testing instincts and a keen eye for detail - automation is your default, but you know when human judgment matters\nYou are familiar with bug tracking and test management tools (Jira, TestRail, or similar)\nYou are a strong communicator in a fully remote environment and can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders\nYou are able to work independently in situations of ambiguity\nYou have a passion for quality and a user-first mindset\nNice to have\nExperience testing GPS, mapping, or other location-based applications\nExperience with performance or load testing (k6, Gatling, Locust, or similar)\nExperience with device farms or cloud testing platforms (BrowserStack, Firebase Test Lab, or similar)\nPassion for fitness, running, cycling, or other endurance activities\nFamiliarity with the MapMyFitness apps or active user community\nWhat we offer\nThis is a fully remote role, and we welcome applicants based anywhere in the United States or Canada.
