Senior QA and Automation Developer

Taiv is a fast-growing tech startup located in Winnipeg, Canada. Taiv uses AI to make business TV more fun, engaging, profitable, and easier to manage, starting with bars and restaurants. We’ve built proprietary tech that uses computer vision to watch live TV and improve the content with contextually-aware commercials, content, and games. Our tech also automates the manual AV tasks that venues have to do every day, to make bar management easier, standardized, and more profitable. We’re venture-capital backed and graduated from Y Combinator, the world’s top tech accelerator, in winter 2020. Program alumni include Airbnb, Instacart, DoorDash, etc. ( www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies ).

We are looking for a Senior QA and Automation Developer to join our growing team!

Our engineering team has grown fast, and testing hasn’t kept pace with it. QA and test automation have always lived inside the dev team itself, and as we’ve scaled that’s started to break: regressions are reaching production more often, and every team tests things a little differently.We’re hiring someone to fix that. You’ll own testing across all of Taiv, the box (firmware, software, and detection models), our web apps, and our backend. You’ll set the testing plan and policy the whole engineering org works from, and you’ll be hands-on building the automation to back it up. This role reports to our CTO and works closely with our VP of Software and our Firmware lead.

Build the test suite. Starting with one product area, you’ll build out a comprehensive automated test suite in your first few months, the template the rest of the org follows.

Set the testing standard. You’ll define how Taiv tests software, from what gets automated to what “done” means for a feature from a testing standpoint, and get every team bought in.

Cut down regressions. You own the outcome, not just the process. If bugs are reaching production, that’s your problem to solve.
