About Tie

Tie is building the next generation of identity resolution and marketing intelligence. Our

platform connects hundreds of millions of consumers across devices, browsers, and

channels-without relying on cookies-to power higher deliverability, smarter targeting,

and measurable revenue lift for modern marketing teams.

At Tie, AI is not a feature-it is a core execution advantage. We operate large-scale

identity graphs, real-time scoring systems, and production ML pipelines that directly

impact revenue, deliverability, and customer growth.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior General QA Engineer who enjoys owning product quality

end-to-end. This role combines manual exploratory testing, automation, release

validation, and close collaboration with engineering and product teams. While we

actively leverage AI tools and automation, the day-to-day work depends on business

priorities, so we're looking for someone who is equally comfortable with hands-on

manual testing and building automation where it adds the most value.

Technical Responsibilities

• Review requirements, user stories, and design documents to create detailed and

comprehensive test cases and checklists

• Perform functional, integration, UI/UX, and regression testing across web, data,

3d party apps and/or API layers.

• Test on multiple browsers, devices, and screen resolutions to ensure

cross-platform consistency

• Execute manual test cases and report issues with clear reproduction steps and

severity levels

• Verify fixes and perform retesting and smoke testing

• Maintain test case repositories (e.g., TestRail, Zephyr, Xray, etc.)

• Perform basic API testing using tools like Postman

• Use developer tools (e.g., Chrome DevTools, browser console) to investigate

issues

• Track and manage bugs using tools like Jira

• Support release validation in redesign, staging and production environments or

any other required.

• Collaborate with developers and product managers to ensure test coverage and

align QA efforts with release goals

• Collaborate with business, customer success to ensure the test coverage and

align QA efforts with business goals.

Automation & AQA Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain automated test suites for UI and API layers using

frameworks like Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium

• Integrate test automation into the CI/CD pipeline to enable fast and reliable

deployments

• Prioritize what to automate based on risk, stability, and ROI, complementing

manual testing

• Validate data flows and transformation logic in data-driven applications by

writing automated assertions against APIs and backend responses

• Build reusable utilities and selectors to support robust and maintainable test

scripts

• Work closely with developers to ensure testability and coverage of edge cases

• Use version control (e.g., Git) and test reporting tools (e.g., Allure, TestNG

reports) to ensure traceability

• Support debugging and root cause analysis by capturing logs, screenshots, and

network traces during test execution

• Maintain a hybrid approach, knowing when to use exploratory/manual testing

alongside automation to uncover UI/UX or logic-related issues

Data-Driven Application Testing

• Validate the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of data throughout the user

journey

• Perform data validation across frontend, backend, and database layers,

including comparing displayed data with source systems or API responses

• Ensure business rules and data logic are correctly applied (e.g., filters,

transformations, aggregations)

• Test the impact of edge cases and malformed data inputs on application

behavior

• Perform SQL-based verification (or through data exports) to confirm data

correctness, where applicable

• Validate data syncing between systems, especially in applications that consume

or expose third-party data via APIs

• Monitor how updates to records, entries, or data states reflect across the

application (e.g., state transitions, user-based data visibility)

Non-Technical Responsibilities

• Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives to represent

QA priorities

• Communicate bugs and quality concerns clearly to cross-functional teams

• Proactively raise red flags if requirements are unclear, incomplete, or inconsistent

• Help define and improve QA processes, checklists, and acceptance criteria

• Collaborate with product and design teams to ensure test scenarios reflect user

expectations

• Own the quality mindset for the features being delivered

• Provide feedback on usability and suggest improvements from a user

perspective

• Maintain a clear audit trail of testing progress and coverage

• Be a champion for documentation, keeping test plans and QA procedures up to

date

• Collaborate with QA Team Lead in providing feedbacks and reviews of QA

strategies, processes, practices.

Working in Ambiguous and Fast-Paced Environments

• Confidently test features with minimal or evolving specifications, using

exploratory testing and product intuition to uncover edge cases

• Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders

to clarify intent and co-create acceptance criteria when missing

• Document findings, gaps, and assumptions clearly to reduce miscommunication

and improve team alignment

• Adapt quickly to frequent changes in priorities or scope, while ensuring quality is

not compromised

• Use structured approaches to test loosely defined features, such as

session-based test charters or heuristic checklists

• Maintain composure and clear prioritization even during high-pressure releases,

rollbacks, or urgent hotfixes

Requirements

Technical

• 5+ years of manual testing experience for web applications

• 2+ years of automation testing experience(Playwright or Cypress must

have(JS/TS))

• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies, specifically Scrum and Kanban

• Familiarity with bug tracking and test case management tools(QASE, Testomat,

TestRail, etc.)

• Experience testing REST APIs (even at a basic level)

• Experience with Data verifications

• Ability to test across various browsers and responsive breakpoints

As a plus:

• Experience with AI in both automated tests and day2day work will be a

plus(Claude.ai)

Non-Technical

• Detail-oriented mindset and strong analytical thinking

• Clear and concise communicator in both written and verbal form, English.

• Proactive communication cros-team

• Comfortable working in fast-paced, changing environments

• Ability to manage time and tasks independently

• Proactive attitude and a sense of ownership for quality

Important: This is a General QA role. While automation is an important part of the job, the

day-to-day work varies based on business priorities. Some sprints are automation-heavy,

while others require more manual exploratory testing, release validation, production

support, and close collaboration with engineering and product teams. We're looking for

someone who enjoys both aspects of QA and is comfortable switching between them.
