QA Automation Engineer

At CourseStorm, we're on a mission to streamline access to education for everyone. We believe that the right class can change a life, and our software makes finding and registering for these classes a breeze. But our mission goes beyond just building software; it's about ensuring a seamless, hassle-free experience for hundreds of thousands of students each year. This is where you come in.

A Minute Saved, A Future Earned

Imagine a scenario where a seemingly minor bug could have caused a 10-minute daily inconvenience for our customers. On the surface, 10 minutes might not seem like much. But what if we told you this minor inconvenience, left unchecked, would have added up to 1,350 wasted days in a single year across our customer base? That's almost 4 years of collective time lost annually - time that could be spent learning, growing, and achieving organizational milestones.

Thanks to our vigilant QA process, this scenario never came to pass. This story isn't just a testament to our commitment to quality; it's a reminder of the profound impact meticulous QA can have on our customers' success and their educational journeys. At CourseStorm, QA isn't an afterthought; it's a critical pillar of our success and, more importantly, our customers' success.
