Senior QA Automation Engineer

About Disco

Disco is building a collaborative ad network that helps direct-to-consumer brands find new customers faster and cheaper. With rising costs in traditional advertising due to changes from Google and Apple (e.g., cookie deprecation, iOS updates), brands face an unsustainable challenge. Our main offering, DiscoFeed, recommends products to shoppers after checkout based on their past purchases. Leading brands like Caden Lane, Caraway, Dagne Dover, Sol de Janeiro, and Liquid I.V. use DiscoFeed to cross-sell to each other’s customer bases, dramatically lowering their acquisition costs.

We've raised $26 million in funding from established investors (Felicis Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Shopify, Sugar Capital, RiverPark Ventures, and Indicator Ventures). Since 2021, we have expanded our network to 1000+ brands, serving product recommendations to 106M+ shoppers & supporting $42B in e-commerce transactions.

What We Are Looking For

Disco is looking for a seasoned QA automation engineer who can bring best practices and personal accountability to work with them every day. While integration tests and unit tests are vital to building quality software, so is a strong sense of how software can fail. We're looking for individuals who are passionate about quality and have a knack for identifying potential issues before they arise. We would like to hire a strong automation tester with a proven track record of building up an automated test suite to increase confidence in our development efforts. The ideal candidate will be opinionated, inquisitive, collaborative, and open to exploring alternative solutions when necessary.

While remote work is an option for this role, candidates located in San Francisco or New York City are preferred, considering Disco's office presence in both locations.
