Job description

Rockstar is recruiting for a cutting-edge, AI-powered platform that is redefining quality assurance (QA) for engineering, product, and design teams. The client’s mission is to power testing for the world’s most ambitious teams, enabling them to focus on building exceptional products. The company is well-funded, having raised $8.9M over two rounds led by top-tier investors, and is trusted by some of the fastest-growing companies in the world. The team is passionate about leveraging advanced technology to deliver reliable, efficient, and intelligent testing solutions.

The client’s platform is already making a significant impact :

How the Platform is Changing the Game

  • Intelligent test generation : Automatically generates reliable and efficient Playwright tests by leveraging advanced large language models (LLMs).
  • Self-healing tests : The system proactively identifies and resolves flaky tests, ensuring consistent and reliable test suites.
  • Improved failure insights : Provides automated failure reports with likely causes and easy-to-follow steps to reproduce issues.

About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Test Engineer, the successful candidate will drive customer success by developing and managing end-to-end Playwright test suites using the AI platform. From initial onboarding through renewal, this individual will own the technical testing relationship with customers, transforming their requirements into reliable automated test frameworks.

This role requires a technical problem-solver capable of writing quality test code while building strong customer relationships. The Forward Deployed Test Engineer will balance hands-on test development with strategic customer management to ensure customers get the most value from the testing service.

As Forward Deployed Test Engineer, responsibilities include :

  • Owning the full customer testing journey from implementation through renewal, driving success across onboarding, test development, and ongoing optimization
  • Developing and maintaining high-quality Playwright test suites tailored to each customer's unique requirements and technical environment
  • Leading technical implementation projects, including AI test suite generation, configuration, and integration with customer CI / CD pipelines
  • Ensuring test reliability through proactive monitoring, failure resolution, and workflow optimization
  • Driving customer health metrics and identifying expansion opportunities through deep understanding of customer testing needs
  • Supporting pre-sales through technical demos, assessments, and proof-of-concept test implementations
  • Developing custom testing solutions for unique customer requirements while maintaining scalability
  • Acting as the voice of the customer by capturing technical testing requirements, shaping product direction, and collaborating with engineering on platform improvements
  • Creating and maintaining customer-facing technical documentation and testing implementation guides
  • To succeed in this role, candidates will need :

  • Software development experience with a focus on test automation (particularly Playwright, Cypress, or similar frameworks)
  • Hands-on experience writing and maintaining end-to-end browser-based tests
  • Proficiency with JavaScript / TypeScript
  • Experience integrating test frameworks into diverse development workflows – from cloud CI / CD to on-premise runners and custom environments
  • Effective communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Proven ability to quickly learn new technologies and adapt testing solutions across different technical environments
  • Previous experience in customer-facing technical roles
  • High sense of agency and ability to prioritize work independently in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to manage multiple customer testing engagements and prioritize effectively
  • Pragmatic decision-making that balances customer testing needs with technical feasibility
  • Skills and mindset are valued over specific credentials. Whether candidates have a CS degree, attended a boot camp, or are self-taught, diverse perspectives are welcomed to contribute to the mission.

    Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary : $80,000 - $120,000 a year
  • In addition to a base salary, employees will receive stock options.
  • Benefits for full-time team members include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, paid holidays, and flexible paid time off (PTO).
