Companies use Vouched to verify identity while onboarding and authenticating users. We make identity verifi cation easy with a combination of machine learning and data checks. Our customers leverage our APIs, integrations, and no-code solution to onboard customers to their systems.\nWhat We Do\nVerify thousands of people every day across multiple countries and industries providing access to critical services\nServe fast-growing startups, unicorns, and large enterprises, with a focus on providing fast, easy integration for developers\nRun on a modern cloud infrastructure powered by automated integration and unit testing, provisioning, deployments, monitoring, and notifications\nOperate in a highly regulated, security-sensitive space. Safeguarding personal and identity data is core to everything we ship\nDrive to own the market and deliver a world-changing client and end-user experience\nWe are a small but mighty team looking for people who align with our values and have a strong sense of hustle, creative problem solving, grit and energy to help us scale! We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees\nRequirements\nWhat We Are Looking For\nWe are seeking a Senior QA/SDET who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and is passionate about building quality into every release alongside a talented team. The ideal candidate blends a tester's instinct for finding what breaks with strong software engineering skills, partnering closely with engineering, product, and ML stakeholders to ensure the platform that powers identity verification for customers around the world works correctly, every time.\nYou will own quality across the full product lifecycle, from reviewing requirements and designs through test planning, automation, release validation, and production verification. You will build and maintain the test frameworks, automated suites, and quality gates that let our team ship quickly and with confidence across our APIs, web capture SDK, mobile SDKs, and customer dashboard.\nSecurity and compliance are central to this role. Because Vouched handles sensitive personal and identity data, we expect you to treat security, privacy, and regulatory compliance as first-class, non-negotiable quality requirements. You will design tests that verify access controls, data handling, and auditability, help produce test evidence that supports our compliance posture across frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, etc., and ensure that test environments and test data never expose real personal information.\nYou should be someone who is deep into the details, who partners with teammates to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Correctness matters at Vouched: a missed edge case can block a real person from accessing healthcare or financial services. We expect our Senior QA/SDET to foster a culture of shared ownership of quality by championing testability, facilitating open conversations about release risk, and working with the team to catch issues long before they reach customers.\nA critical component of this role is the fluent use of modern AI-powered tooling to accelerate test development. You will be expected to leverage tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, and similar platforms, to rapidly produce test plans, automated tests, test data, and quality tooling. We expect AI-accelerated workflows that turn product knowledge into reproducible, maintainable, and trustworthy automated coverage rather than manual, one-off regression passes. The ability to use AI tools to scaffold test suites, generate edge-case scenarios, accelerate failure triage, and build internal tooling that engineering can rely on is essential and not optional.\nExperience working with distributed teams, strong written and verbal communication skills, and a bias toward action are essential. While knowledge of AI-based identity verification products is a plus, a passion for working with innovative technologies and helping to scale a dynamic team is key.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine and own the test strategy for the Vouched platform, balancing unit, integration, API, end-to-end, and exploratory testing to maximize risk coverage and release speed.\nDesign, build, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks for our REST APIs, web capture SDK, mobile SDKs (iOS and Android), and customer dashboard.\nIntegrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines as quality gates, keeping suites fast, reliable, and free of flaky tests so every change ships with confidence.\nValidate identity verification flows end to end across real devices, browsers, cameras, and network conditions, including document capture, selfie and liveness checks, and webhook delivery.\nBuild and curate safe, synthetic test data (ID documents, selfies, and identity records) that exercises edge cases across countries and document types without using real personal data.\nTest for security and privacy: authentication and authorization, input validation, PII handling and redaction, and data retention, partnering with security on vulnerability findings.\nSupport compliance readiness by producing traceable test evidence and change-validation records for frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR (HIPAA a plus).\nDrive performance, load, and reliability testing to ensure our APIs and processing pipeline meet latency and throughput targets as we scale.\nPartner with ML engineers to validate model and pipeline changes using regression datasets and accuracy benchmarks before they reach production.\nOwn release validation and sign-off ; triage, reproduce, and root-cause defects, including production issues reported by customers, and turn every escaped bug into lasting automated coverage.\nDefine and report on quality metrics (defect escape rate, automation coverage, flakiness, time-to-detect) and use them to drive continuous improvement.\nLeverage AI-powered tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and others) to accelerate test creation, test data generation, and failure triage.\nChampion a culture of quality across engineering by reviewing designs and pull requests for testability and mentoring engineers on testing best practices.\nContinuously evaluate and adopt emerging AI-powered tools and workflows to improve test speed, coverage, and reliability.\nQualifications\n6+ years of experience in software quality engineering, including at least 3 years as an SDET or test automation engineer within a software engineering organization.\nStrong programming skills in at least one language used for test automation (TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, or Kotlin/Swift) and a track record of writing clean, maintainable test code.\nHands-on experience building and scaling test automation frameworks for web UIs and APIs (Playwright, Cypress, WebdriverIO, Selenium, Jest, Postman, or similar).\nExperience testing mobile applications or SDKs on iOS and Android (Appium, XCUITest, Espresso, or similar), including real-device clouds such as BrowserStack or Sauce Labs.\nExperience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar) and working with containerized and cloud environments (Docker, GCP preferred).\nExperience with performance and load testing tools (k6, Gatling, JMeter, or similar) and using observability tools (Datadog or equivalent) to investigate failures.\nSolid understanding of security and privacy testing: authentication and authorization, OWASP Top 10, input validation, and safe handling of PII in test environments.\nExperience working in regulated environments and supporting compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, including test evidence and audit readiness.\nProficiency with AI-powered development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent; demonstrated ability to accelerate test development with them.\nStrong debugging and root-cause analysis skills across the stack, from client to API to database.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to write clear test plans, bug reports, and quality reports.\nExperience working in a startup environment is required.\nExperience managing or collaborating with distributed teams is essential.\nFamiliarity with identity verification, computer vision, or AI/ML-based solutions, or with testing ML model quality, is a plus.\nBenefits\nOur Commitment\nWe are committed to providing an environment where everyone receives equal consideration and treatment regardless of gender, gender identity, gender expression, sex, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, HIV/AIDS/Hepatitis C status, genetic information, marital status, domestic partner status, military or veteran status, height, weight, and any other protected category under the law. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.\nCompensation\nBase salary range: $180,000 - $210,000 USD annually, depending on experience and leveling.
