Quality Assurance Engineer
Meraki Labs
Startup studio co-building early ventures
Meraki Labs (founded by Mukesh Bansal & Peeyush Ranjan) builds and rapidly scales AI-first, "moonshot" startups. We're looking for a sharp, hands-on QA Engineer to help ship 0-to-1 products alongside founders.
Proofline is building the infrastructure for scientific reasoning. Scientific discovery depends on more than papers and datasets. It depends on the reasoning behind every experiment, decision, and breakthrough. Proofline preserves that reasoning so knowledge compounds instead of disappearing. Proofline is live in production with institutional pilots underway with research institutions and enterprise research teams. Learn more: https://prooflinehub.com/about/
As QA Engineer, you will own product quality across Proofline's releases, making sure every feature works reliably on a live system before it reaches researchers and institutions.
Own manual testing across the product: write test plans and test cases, run exploratory, functional, and regression testing.
Run smoke tests on every build and release to catch critical issues before they reach users.
Use AI tools to speed up testing: generating test cases, test data, and edge-case scenarios, and triaging issues.
Log, track, and verify bugs with clear reproduction steps; work closely with engineers to drive them to closure.
Help define release checklists and quality standards as the product scales.
Experience - 2-5 years in QA / software testing.
Strong hands-on manual testing experience (web applications preferred).
Smoke testing experience as part of build and release cycles.
Experience using AI tools in your testing workflow.
Sharp attention to detail and clear written communication of issues.
Exposure to test automation or API testing is a plus.
Small team, high trust, written decisions. Designs get adversarial review before code; PRs get automated review driven to zero open findings; features aren't done until verified on a live system. AI agents do a large share of the implementation, which makes rigorous verification and knowing when the machine is wrong central to how we ship.
You enjoy breaking things and finding the edge cases others miss.
You thrive in fast-moving, low-process environments.
You're excited about using AI to make testing faster and smarter.
You want remote/hybrid (this is onsite Bangalore only).
You prefer narrow tickets and minimal ambiguity.
You prefer highly structured, slow-moving product organizations.
Startup studio co-building early ventures
Meraki Labs operates as one of India's first startup studios, building and funding companies by joining forces with founders from the ground up. It provides an early-stage first cheque of 200K–1M and a plug-and-play founding team, working hands-on with 2–4 founders each year. The studio sources ideas across sectors but often focuses on education, sustainability, and inclusion, and backs mission-driven ventures. Unlike traditional investors, Meraki Labs co-builds companies with founders, taking an active role in shaping the product, team, and strategy from the start. Its goal is to create durable, purpose-driven companies by providing both funding and a ready-to-operate founding team to increase their chances of success.
