We are building the future of residential real estateʼs critical listings infrastructure: a platform where market research and client collaboration converge. Our modern architecture enables continuous innovation at a pace legacy systems cannot match, with AI-powered features and mobile-first capabilities designed for how agents actually work. As consumer expectations and technology evolve, Perchwell remains focused on our core vision: empowering real estate professionals with the most intelligent, data-driven, and connected platform in the industry.\nBacked by leading venture capital firms including Lux Capital and Founders Fund, along with strategic partnerships with some of the country's top Multiple Listing Services (MLSs), Perchwell represents the first major new platform to enter the listings technology market in decades. This unique combination of institutional investment and deep industry alignment provides both the resources and market validation needed to transform the multi-trillion dollar residential real estate industry.\nWhat We're Looking For\nWe’re opening a Senior QA role to expand the impact and coverage of QA across both mobile and web. This is a high-ownership position where the goal is not only to test, but to build systems and processes that elevate the quality culture at Perchwell. As an AI-first team, we are constantly looking for ways to integrate AI and MCPs into our workflows, tooling, and day-to-day execution, and this role will play an active part in driving that forward.\nWhy this Role Matters\nQA at Perchwell is a small, high-impact team, and we need someone who isn’t just looking to “run tests” - we need someone who wants to build frameworks, strengthen quality processes, and help us scale testing across mobile and web as our platform grows.\nThis is a role for someone who cares about both precision and proactivity, who knows how to test deeply but also knows how to build systems that help others ship safely.\nWhat You’ll Work On:\nFlagship project: own the ongoing development and maintenance of our mobile automation framework, prioritizing iOS first while expanding Android coverage-shaping the tooling and structure, adding high-value automated tests, and improving CI integration and reporting as coverage grows.\n\nIdentify the core, high-risk mobile flows and get them covered with stable automated tests.\n\nSpend ~50-60% of your time on web testing and 40-50% on mobile, prioritizing iOS while expanding Android coverage and supporting core platform areas as needed.\n\nContribute across both manual and automated testing depending on priority and release needs.\n\nWork with our Playwright automation setup, expanding its coverage, stability, and reporting.\n\nPartner with SRE and Engineering to help manage releases, CI/CD pipelines, and quality gates, supporting both major and minor releases with clear visibility into quality.\n\nPlay an active role in integrating AI tools, MCPs, and workflow automations into the QA stack.\n\nContinuously identify and improve areas where AI can reduce manual effort and increase testing speed or accuracy.\n\nCollaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and SRE to elevate quality practices across the company.\n\nContribute to building leverage, not just individual output - systems, documentation, tooling, processes, and automation that help the whole engineering org move faster with confidence.\n\nRequired for this Role\n5+ years of QA experience, including at least 2 years focused on mobile automation\n\nHands-on experience with Typescript and Playwright\n\nExperience contributing to or scaling mobile automation across iOS and Android, e.g. XCUITest, AndroidX Test/Espresso, Appium, or WebdriverIO\n\nFamiliarity with CI/CD tooling, e.g. GitHub Actions\n\nPrior experience mentoring or leading QA processes, if applicable to seniority level\n\nThis role is open to remote, but those located in the NYC area will work out of our New York City HQ in Soho Manhattan at least 3 days/week (including Mondays, which are mandatory in-office days).\nSalary Range:\nTo provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base salary ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. Our ranges are based on function and level benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including skills, job-related knowledge and depth of work experience.\nThe compensation for this position is $130-$160K base salary + equity + benefits for NYC candidates. Range may vary by candidate location.\nStrong Benefits Package\nFlexible PTO, plus 10 paid company holidays\n\n401K with a company match\n\nMedical, dental, and vision plans\n\nHSA and FSA options\n\nCommuter benefits\n\nParental leave\n\nCompany-wide onsite or offsite each year\n\nBeautiful office in Soho, Manhattan with a stocked kitchen, catered breakfast and lunch once per week, happy hours and meet-ups\n\nNote: At this time, we are only considering candidates who are authorized to work in the U.S.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5126,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Real Estate","PropTech"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-23T05:24:42Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-23T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":160000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/perchwell-senior-qa-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/perchwell-senior-qa-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T01:51:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
