Role overview
Miaplaza is dedicated to making education engaging and accessible through innovative online learning platforms, developing personalized learning experiences for K-12 students. The company is hiring a QA Engineer to join its growing QA team, focusing on expanding automated test coverage, improving release testing processes, and embedding quality throughout the development lifecycle.

- Collaborate with developers to triage and resolve bugs
- Own the release testing process to ensure only high-quality changes ship
- Partner with Product Managers (PMs) and designers on requirements review, edge cases, and acceptance criteria
- Contribute to QA process improvements as the team scales (currently a 2-person team growing to 4)
