About the role

Responsibilities

  • Manually test new features built by engineers, with a focus on edge cases, unexpected user behavior, and regressions in adjacent areas of the product
  • Read and interpret product requirements to validate that what's built matches what was intended
  • Surface bugs clearly and concisely in our ticketing system (Linear) with enough context for engineers to act fast
  • Work cross-functionally with Engineering and Product throughout the development cycle
  • Develop a deep understanding of the Playground product to spot when something feels off, even when it's technically "working"

Requirements

  • 1-2 years of experience in a role touching the product development or software delivery lifecycle — QA, product ops, implementation, or similar
  • Familiarity with how software gets built and shipped — you understand what a ticket is, what a sprint is, and how a feature goes from idea to production
  • Experience with a ticketing or project management tool (Linear, Jira, or similar)
  • Strong attention to detail and a natural instinct to poke at things until they break
  • Clear written communication — you can describe a bug in a way that's actionable, not ambiguous

Nice to Have

  • Experience at a startup or fast-moving team
  • Exposure to B2B SaaS products
  • Familiarity with childcare, education, or government software

Compensation

The annual salary range for this position is $60,000 – $75,000.
