  • Utilize AI Agents for automated test generation, script maintenance (auto-healing), and enhancing exploratory testing.
  • Analyze bugs and errors found during both manual and automated testing, and communicate actionable findings (repro steps, root-cause insights) to Software Engineers.
  • Choose the appropriate testing strategy for each service or feature, balancing manual testing, automation, regression coverage, and release risk.
  • Integrate AI-driven QA tooling into CI/CD pipelines to identify quality risks early in the development lifecycle.
  • Improve development efficiency and performance by identifying quality risks early and integrating QA into the development process.
  • Work closely with Software Engineers to enhance and improve programs, testability, and release quality.
  • Maintain clear test documentation, defect records, and guidelines to ensure seamless QA operations.
How Do I Know if the Role is Right For Me? 
  • Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, with software-testing coursework or at least one year of software-testing experience.
  • Basic understanding of Agile/DevOps software development practices and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD).
  • Strong attention to detail with a proven ability to identify edge cases, negative scenarios, boundary conditions, and gaps in requirements through manual testing.
  • Familiarity with API testing, backend service verification, frontend testing.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English and Korean.
Preferred Skills
  • Experience or strong interest in leveraging AI tools/LLM Agents for QA processes (e.g., automated test script generation, auto-healing, log analysis).
  • Familiarity with Jira or comparable test-management and issue-tracking tools.
  • Familiarity with security/penetration testing concepts.
