About the role
QA engineer role at Phonely, an early-stage AI voice platform. Responsible for testing features, building and maintaining automated end-to-end tests, and shaping the QA process as the first dedicated QA hire.
Responsibilities
- QA new features and bug fixes across Phonely’s product, testing happy paths, edge cases, regressions, and general UI/UX quality
- Build automated tests to cover every non-human part of your job
- Own, maintain, and expand our automated end to end test suite
- Reproduce bugs reported by customers and internal teams, then write them up clearly enough that an engineer can fix them without a follow-up call
- Push back when something isn’t good enough to ship
- Build the QA process from scratch as our first dedicated QA hire
Qualifications
- Some experience building or testing software: QA, software engineering, solutions/FDE, or similar
- Enough technical depth to inspect logs, HTTP requests, and browser behavior, and the instinct to use AI to move faster doing it
- AI native. You reach for the model before you reach for the manual
- User empathy and real opinions. You’re the last touchpoint before a feature ships, so you need to notice when something is bad and have the chutzpah to say so
- A technical background. A degree in CS or engineering is preferred, or equivalent hands-on experience
- Significant overlap with North American working hours

About Phonely
AI call centers
Phonely uses existing call recordings to create a 'AI vocal twin' that can answer customer support calls and match or outperform call center agents. On top of that we've built a Zapier like workflow that lets businesses connect to software or transfer calls just like a person would. Our platform sits on proprietary deterministic LLM that is both cheaper and more accurate than gpt-4o for call center inquiries.
