About Total Life

We’re Total Life — the nation’s leading teletherapy platform for older adults, on a mission to help people age better, feel better, and live longer. With tens of thousands of sessions delivered and a fast-growing national footprint, we’re transforming mental health for an underserved generation. Recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the Best in Business, we’re building something bold — and we’re hiring someone equally bold to be part of our programming and engineering department.

Overview

This is a fantastic opportunity for a mid-level QA professional who is passionate about test automation, performance optimization, and security validation, and who thrives in fast-paced Agile environments. You’ll take ownership of designing and executing robust test plans, proactively identifying issues before they reach users, and working closely with developers and designers to ensure every release meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.

What You’ll Do

Software Testing: Design and execute comprehensive test strategies—manual and automated—to validate functionality, usability, and edge cases across web and API layers.
Automation & Frameworks: Develop and maintain scalable, end-to-end test suites using Playwright, Jest, Pytest, and other industry-standard tools. Integrate with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.
Security & Performance Validation: Conduct vulnerability scans, performance benchmarks, and load/stress testing using tools such as JMeter, k6, or OWASP ZAP. Help proactively detect issues before they impact users.
API & Integration Testing: Use tools like Postman, Swagger, or Insomnia to test and validate RESTful API endpoints and service integrations.
AI-Powered Testing: Leverage AI tools such as ChatGPT, Testim, or Cursor to optimize test case design, edge case discovery, and documentation generation.
Code Contribution: Write clean, modular test code in Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript. Build internal testing libraries, mocks, and reusable components to support broader dev team efforts.
Collaboration: Participate actively in daily standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives. Work closely with developers, product managers, and designers to clarify requirements and improve release quality.
Continuous Improvement: Track and analyze QA metrics (test coverage, defect rates, etc.), recommend improvements, and help foster a quality-first mindset across the engineering team.
