QA Engineer

About Hyperbound

Hyperbound (YC S23) is the Revenue Activation Platform, an agentic OS for sales that closes the loop between behavior, coaching, and execution. We’re a system that changes what happens next, and we’re reshaping the structure of our customers’ sales orgs in the process.

As the inventors of AI sales roleplay, we help enterprise sales teams practice, measure, and scale top-performer behaviors. IBM, LinkedIn, Bloomberg, Supabase, Monday.com, Notion, and Vanta are just a few of the companies that trust us.

We 5x’d ARR last year and raised a $15M Series A led by Peak XV. Our team ships new features weekly and has close feedback loops with customers.

The category is exploding, and we’re pouring gas on the fire.

The Role

As our Founding QA Engineer, you’ll own the QA function from day one. We ship weekly, our PMs currently shoulder all UAT, and our velocity is bottlenecked by manual testing. You’ll change that by building the QA playbook, the automation infrastructure, and the bug triage process from scratch.

This is a real ownership role. You won’t inherit someone else’s framework or fit into someone else’s system. You’ll partner directly with PMs and engineering to decide what good looks like and build it. The most important thing about you: you push back clearly when something isn’t ready to ship, to PMs, engineers, anyone.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with product on every release to own UAT

• Support the Solution Engineers in triaging customer bugs.

• Write and own test plans for every major feature before it ships

• Build and maintain automated test suites across core product surfaces

• Catch bugs before they reach production, and triage and prioritize them in direct partnership with engineering

• Set up monitoring so regressions are caught in CI, not by customers

• Build the QA playbook from scratch, including standards, processes, and how QA fits into our weekly release cycle

What You’ll Bring

• Push back clearly when something isn’t ready to ship, to PMs, engineers, anyone. This is the most important thing.

• Can build and maintain automation independently. Tool doesn’t matter, capability does.

• Product-curious. You care about how users experience the product, not just whether the test passes.

• Comfortable writing the playbook from scratch

• Fluent in CI/CD basics and know how QA fits into a fast release pipeline

Nice to Haves

• Experience testing AI or LLM products
