Senior Quality Engineer role at LawnStarter, focusing on proactive quality assurance through automation, process improvement, and cross-functional partnership. Fully remote position located in Florianópolis, Brazil, with a competitive salary and equity opportunities.
About the company
- LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and outdoor services, with over $100M in annual bookings.
- We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all home services, operating across three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, Home Gnome) on a single shared platform.
About the product
- We've spent the last two years rebuilding the platform from the ground up: new customer app, new Pro onboarding, job distribution engine, and data infrastructure.
- The foundation is solid. Now we're moving into expanded service verticals, dynamic pricing, and AI-powered features at scale. Quality needs to keep up.
- Our stack is PHP (Laravel) and React/React Native, with Cypress as our primary test framework.
- We actively use Claude Code as part of our engineering workflow, not as an experiment, but as a core part of how we work.
Responsibilities
- Own the automation coverage, shaping the bug process, and partnering closely with Product, Design, and the Data team to catch problems before they reach customers.
- Work directly with engineers, PMs, Designers, and the Data team to surface risks early, understand requirements deeply, and propose better solutions.
- Be embedded in one or two delivery teams.
- Own the strategy for building and expanding our automated test coverage using Cypress.
- Prioritize coverage gaps and raise the quality floor across the platform.
- Own the full bug lifecycle from triage to production fix, ensuring smooth process and stakeholder communication.
- Collaborate with PMs, Designers, and Data team to review requirements, raise risks, and define 'done'.
- Identify weaknesses in software delivery quality and propose and implement solutions.
- Conduct exploratory testing on web and mobile across devices to catch issues automation misses.
Requirements
- AI-native: Use AI tools like Claude Code to write, maintain, and extend test code as a standard part of work.
- Automation-first: Proactively build test infrastructure that prevents problems automatically.
- Customer-obsessed: Think like a user; ensure functionality works for real customers, not just meets specs.
- Adaptable: Embrace evolving tools, stacks, and processes especially related to AI.
- Collaborative and direct: Work cross-functionally and speak plainly about risks and quality.
- Technically solid: Comfortable reading and writing code, understanding front and backend web services, SQL queries, and debugging across the stack.
- Not a manual-testing role: Focus is on building automation, not manual test execution.
- Not a ticket executor: Expected to shape work and processes, not just follow backlog.
- Not limited to a single tool: While Cypress is primary, openness to change and multiple tools is required.
- Must be comfortable with ambiguity and rapid business changes.
- Expected to influence upstream quality processes, not just do downstream verification.
Conditions
- Base salary: $45,000-$65,000
- Equity offered for investment in platform quality and long-term health.
- Fully remote: Work from anywhere in the Americas with deep focus and async collaboration.
- Unlimited PTO: Focus on results, take the time needed.
