Quality Engineer

Job Description:

We believe in bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and the drive to transform knowledge into impact. Here, your curiosity fuels progress, your voice shapes innovation, and your ambition helps redefine what’s possible within science and learning. We are a culture that obsesses over impact, challenges, and drives what’s next to power infinite possibilities for our customers, colleagues and society at large.

About the Role:

We're looking for a Quality Engineer who codes. Not someone who writes click-through scripts, but an engineer who reads the source, understands how the system works, and builds automation that catches real problems before they ship. You'll join a distributed, hands-on team that debates openly, then commits, and you'll own quality across the full stack.
 

What you'll do

• Build and maintain automated test suites in JavaScript from end-to-end browser tests through API and integration coverage.
• Write real code: reusable test frameworks, utilities, and helpers, not throwaway scripts.
• Do white-box (structural) testing. Read the code, understand the internals, and target tests where the risk actually is.
• Test across the stack: React front ends, Node.js services, and PostgreSQL data.
• Write and debug SQL to validate data, reproduce issues, and check system state directly.
• Automate browser flows with Selenium and keep the suite fast, stable, and trustworthy.
• Wire tests into our CI pipelines so quality checks run on every change.
• Partner with engineers on design and code reviews, catching testability and quality gaps early.
• Investigate failures, isolate root cause, and file precise, reproducible reports.
• Help shape our test strategy, coverage, and quality gates.
   

What we're looking for

• 2+ years building automated tests for web applications.
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript. You write clean, maintainable code, not just test scripts.
• Hands-on Selenium experience for browser automation.
• Solid working knowledge of React and Node.js, enough to test them from the inside.
• Comfortable with PostgreSQL and writing SQL for validation and debugging.
• A white-box mindset: you design tests around how the system actually works, not just what the UI shows.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging instincts.
• A clear communicator who works well in a distributed team.
   

Nice to have

• API testing experience with REST or GraphQL.
• CI/CD experience (for example, GitHub Actions).
• Performance or load testing.
• Experience with event-driven systems (Kafka) or containers (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with modern JavaScript test tooling such as Jest, Playwright, or Cypress.
• Domain experience in academic or scholarly publishing.

Why join us

• Real ownership of quality on a platform researchers and publishers rely on every day.
• A hands-on engineering culture that prizes progress over perfection.
• Room to grow your engineering depth, not just your test coverage.

We power infinite possibilities.
