Opportunity

The QA Engineer at Boom ensures the quality, reliability, and consistency of the platform. They run manual and exploratory testing, identify bugs, and verify quality across web, mobile, and integrations, focusing on customer impact, edge cases, and release readiness.

Quality directly impacts trust and experience for both renters and property managers. The QA Engineer works closely with product, engineering, and customer success teams to catch issues early, document them clearly, and advocate for necessary fixes. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys finding and fixing problems.

• Validate behavior across browsers, operating systems, and mobile devices
• Test third-party integrations (payment processors, accounting systems, banking partners) for data accuracy and reliability

• Balanced thoroughness with speed in a fast-moving startup environment
