About the role

Arist uses AI + SMS and MS Teams to train the world's largest companies where people spend all of their time.

We're revolutionizing enablement with a ground-up reimagining of how learning is created and delivered — making learning more accessible, engaging, and effective for teams worldwide.

About the Role:

As a Senior QA Engineer, you’ll strengthen Arist’s testing strategy, push boundaries with the most innovative quality tools, and raise the bar for engineering excellence.

You’ll bring structure where it’s needed and creativity where it’s missing — balancing precision with curiosity to make our platform more reliable, insightful, and enjoyable to use.

This is a remote role within the U.S (or full time contractor out of Canada)

You are:

Curious and Independent. You love exploring new tools, frameworks, and approaches. You learn fast, question assumptions, and enjoy solving complex problems from first principles.

Technical. You have strong experience testing modern web and mobile applications, from integrations to accessibility and everything in between.

Quality Owner. You own quality — observability, performance, accessibility, and security are built into how you test.

Analytical. You rely on data and observability to find root causes, measure impact, and make continuous improvements.

Collaborative. You communicate clearly, think like an engineer, and work closely with design, product, customer success, and development to deliver a great experience.

Skilled in AI Testing. You’re confident working with AI-first features, using red-teaming, synthetic data, evals, and any new techniques that emerge as the field rapidly evolves.

You will

Improve Quality Practices. Help shape Arist’s testing strategy across squads, ensuring every release is reliable, accessible, and thoughtfully built.

Learn and Innovate. Evaluate and apply new tools that strengthen quality and development flow, always aiming for real user impact.

Collaborate. Partner with engineers and designers to embed testability early and create meaningful validation at every stage.

Measure. Define and track quality metrics and turn findings into improvements.

Refine the Experience. Test for both function and feel, making sure the product is intuitive, secure, and accessible to everyone.

You will thrive here if you

  • Are kind, empathetic, and collaborative in how you work with others.
  • Enjoy learning new technologies and unlearning outdated habits.
  • Care about how things work and how they feel.
  • Think like a user, not just a tester.
  • Appreciate simplicity, precision, and purpose in your work.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary
  • Equity options to share in the company's success
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous PTO policy and fully remote work
  • Professional development budget and mentorship opportunities
  • Chance to work with cutting-edge AI and learning technologies
