Sequencing is building the interface between humanity and its DNA.

Using clinical-grade whole genome sequencing, AI, and a rapidly expanding ecosystem of genomic applications, we help people better understand themselves, their health, and their future through their DNA.

The human genome is one of the most valuable and underutilized resources in the world. Our mission is to transform the human genome into a lifelong source of personalized guidance and build the trusted home for every genome on Earth.

As the world’s largest direct-to-consumer whole genome sequencing platform, Sequencing is helping define the future of AI-powered personalized health.

We’re a profitable, venture-backed, fully remote company building category-defining products that help people better understand themselves through their DNA.

The Position

You will join a remote, global engineering team building the platform that turns DNA into lifelong health intelligence. You will report to the Senior Manager of QA and partner closely with engineering, product, and design. You will own end-to-end quality validation across the platform, design and maintain automation frameworks from scratch, and drive quality strategy that helps the team ship faster without losing customer trust. Success means higher test coverage, fewer production issues, and a release process the company can rely on.

The Impact

  • Own end-to-end quality validation for new features, releases, and production deployments.
  • Develop comprehensive testing strategies from business and technical requirements.
  • Design, build, and maintain scalable automated regression test suites (Playwright, Cypress, or equivalent).
  • Partner with engineering to grow test coverage and release confidence.
  • Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects through resolution.
  • Lead exploratory testing and call out risk areas and edge cases early.
  • Support CI/CD quality initiatives and automation integration so tests run on every deploy and block on failure.
  • Run API and integration testing across platform services using Postman or Swagger.
  • Improve QA processes, testing standards, and quality best practices.
  • Lead release readiness assessments and production validation.
  • Mentor junior QA engineers and raise overall QA maturity.
  • Communicate quality risks and trade-offs clearly to engineering and product across time zones.

Dominant and Expressed Traits

  • 5+ years of QA experience with strong manual testing expertise.
  • Proven experience building and maintaining automation frameworks from scratch.
  • Strong experience with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or equivalent tools.
  • Experience testing complex web-based applications in Agile environments.
  • API testing experience with Postman, Swagger, or similar tools.
  • Familiar with CI/CD pipelines and version control systems such as Bitbucket or Git.
  • Strong grasp of regression testing strategies and QA best practices.
  • Cross-functional collaboration experience.
  • Comfortable working remotely in a fast-moving startup environment.
  • E-commerce or checkout and payment workflow exposure is a plus.
  • Scripting in JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python is a plus.
  • Performance testing with k6 or JMeter is a plus.
  • Experience mentoring QA engineers is a plus.
  • Exposure to security or vulnerability validation testing is a plus.
