About this role

Chemican builds an AI that manages safety data sheets (SDS) for manufacturers handling chemicals, and it hires a QA Engineer to plan and run testing as demand for the product grows quickly in Japan. The company is at a Series B stage, so the hire works as a core member and is expected to help expand the QA function later.

The work has two parts. Quality improvement means planning and carrying out improvements with product managers and engineers, building and improving quality standards and test processes, strengthening the quality viewpoint in agile and Scrum development, and identifying and prioritising quality issues. Test design and execution covers test plans and design, execution and result analysis, risk-based testing, defect analysis and prevention, and design and monitoring of quality KPIs. The engineer has discretion over tool choice and process improvement.

Applicants need three or more years of QA on web services, strong test design, test strategy and planning experience, work in agile development, and a record of driving quality improvement with others. Test automation (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium), CI/CD quality gates, API, load and security testing, and starting a QA team are preferred.
