Product Quality Analyst
Playground, New York, NY
What you will do
- Manually test new features built by engineers, with a focus on edge cases, unexpected user behavior, and regressions in adjacent areas of the product
- Read and interpret product requirements to validate that what's built matches what was intended
- Surface bugs clearly and concisely in our ticketing system (Linear) with enough context for engineers to act fast
- Work cross-functionally with Engineering and Product throughout the development cycle
- Develop a deep understanding of the Playground product to spot when something feels off, even when it's technically "working"
What you need
- 1-2 years of experience in a role touching the product development or software delivery lifecycle — QA, product ops, implementation, or similar
- Familiarity with how software gets built and shipped — you understand what a ticket is, what a sprint is, and how a feature goes from idea to production
