• *The Role**

• *Break what we build before our customers can.**

• Manual \& Automation Testing*

Regular software either works or it doesn't. AI is murkier. It can be 95% brilliant and 5% confidently, spectacularly wrong. That 5% is your hunting ground.

We're building an AI copilot that actually runs households: ordering groceries, coordinating staff, juggling a hundred small daily decisions around the household. We need someone who reads "it works on my machine" as a personal insult, and who gets a little thrill from finding the bug nobody thought to look for.

• *Requirements**

• 3\+ years actually doing manual and automation testing.
• A real grip on QA methodology, STLC, and the defect lifecycle.
• Hands\-on with Selenium / Playwright / Cypress, or API tools like Postman / RestAssured.
• Enough Python, Java, or JavaScript to automate without waiting on anyone.
• Comfort with Git, CI/CD, and SQL. You can read a pipeline and a query.
• A working understanding of REST, JSON, and HTTP.
• The instinct to ask "but what happens if…" before anyone else does.

• *Bonus Qualifications**

• You've tested AI / LLM or other non\-deterministic systems.
• You've built automation from a blank file, rather than just inherited someone else's.
• You have strong opinions about flaky tests and how to kill them.

• *Responsibilities**

You'll own quality across a real three\-app system: APIs, apps and agents that don't always answer the same way twice.

• Design test cases that bite: turn requirements and user stories into sharp, structured coverage, not checkbox theater.
• Build and scale automation for web and APIs. We live in Playwright.
• Run the full spread: functional, regression, integration, smoke and the exploratory testing where the juicy bugs hide.
• Hunt AI failure modes: hallucinations, adversarial prompts, the "it did what?" moments.
• Tame defects in Linear: log, track, reproduce, and pair with engineers through fix and verify.
• Own release readiness: show up in sprint ceremonies like your name's on the box.
• Level up our QA: push test strategy, coverage, and process forward instead of just following it.

• *Why Join M?**

• You'll be the quality bar for a product thousands of people lean on every day. Fast shipping, genuine autonomy and AI problems that don't have answers yet.
• Work on diverse and challenging real\-world problems.
• Work alongside an ambitious team building a category\-defining company from the ground up.
• Build skills across customer experience, commerce, and operations.
• Grow quickly in a high\-ownership environment.
