WHY BECOME AN OSTRONAUT?

We are a small but mighty team of around 40 (for now!) internationally-based colleagues.

Our founding team has designed and built companies on the consumer front acquired by Google, as well as enterprise tech companies deployed across The Fortune 500. We are backed by some of the best investors in the world, including RRE Ventures, Bling Capital, Founders Fund, Greycroft, and more.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO?
This is not your typical entry-level QA job. Yes, you'll test software—but you'll also dive into AI-powered tools, help troubleshoot customer issues, learn how complex systems behave in the real world, and grow your technical skills every day. You’ll be surrounded by experienced engineers who want to help you succeed—and push you to do your best work.
We see QA as the launchpad for a technical career, not a cul-de-sac. Whether your long-term interest lies in automation, systems engineering, or full-stack development, we’ll support your growth.
What You’ll Do:
- Design and run manual and automated tests to ensure our SaaS platform is reliable, secure, and performs as expected.
- Track and document bugs clearly, then collaborate with engineers to get them fixed.
- Work closely with our product and implementation teams to validate new features and support customer onboarding.
- Experiment with new testing tools—including AI-based approaches—to improve efficiency and coverage.
- Own parts of our regression suite and contribute to making our CI/CD pipeline smarter and faster.
- Propose improvements to the way we test, build, and ship, and help you explore.
REQUIREMENTS: THE VALUE YOU WILL BRING!
- Are curious, organized, and love breaking things (so they can be fixed).
- Have programming skills (in Python, JavaScript, or similar).
- Communicate clearly—especially when reporting bugs or asking for help.
- Want to learn about real-world software delivery: releases, pipelines, customer-facing deployments.
- Are excited to be hands-on and grow in a fast-moving startup.
- Nice to haves:
- Exposure to web automation frameworks or tools like Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright.
- Familiarity with APIs and tools like Postman or Swagger.
- Interest in AI/ML or LLM-based tools (we’ll teach you!).
- Experience with Git, CI/CD tools, or cloud platforms like GCP or AWS.
COMPENSATION:
The salary range estimate for this position is $72,700- $80,700 USD + equity. These numbers are based on our compensation philosophy and US national averages since, as a fully remote company, we do not adjust compensation based on location.
Ostro’s goal is to provide an inclusive and equitable work environment for current and future Ostronauts. In support of our core value of practicing radical honesty, we display our salary range for each job posting across all US locations, whether or not we are required to do so.
