QA Engineer

Decile Group (https://decilegroup.com) is transforming venture capital into a force for good in the world. We are working to launch 10,000 next-generation venture capital firms by 2030, fundamentally changing the face of venture capital.

We operate an integrated platform for modern venture capital, spanning education, software, and fund operations. VC Lab trains the next generation of fund managers. Decile Hub provides AI-enabled tools for fund operations. Start Fund enables managers to launch institutional-grade funds in under 24 hours. Decile Capital deploys capital into emerging managers. Together, these offerings make venture capital more accessible to anyone with world-class ideas and execution.

We're looking for a QA Engineer to join the Decile Group product team and own quality across Decile Hub and Start Fund. Read more about how Decile Group builds here: https://github.com/VCLab-Inc/Engineering

This is not a role where someone hands you a test script and you follow it. Your job is to anticipate issues before they come up. You will build the QA system: the agents, the test plans, the release checks, and the habits that catch problems before a fund manager or LP ever sees them.

The ideal candidate is agentic from day one. You set up cutting-edge AI agents that test, monitor, and flag problems on their own. You understand our customers well enough to predict where they will get stuck, from a fund manager launching a fund to an LP logging in for the first time to sign documents or wire capital. You still bring the discipline of a classic QA: organized, thorough, and relentless about follow-through.

You don't need to come from a big company. You need to show us that you can catch what others miss.

Basic requirements:

• You must live and work within a few time zones of Pacific (California) time. 
• You must be actively building with AI agents, not just using chat tools.
• You must be able to own quality end to end without waiting for instructions.
• You must be willing to get close to customers (calls, tickets, onboarding sessions) and turn what you learn into tests.

If you want to build the quality system for a platform that thousands of investors use to run their firms, you belong at Decile Group.

And we want to work with you too.

What You'll Do

• Anticipate issues before release. Study each feature, the customer using it, and the flows around it, and find the problems before they ship. You are measured by what never reaches customers.
• Build an agentic QA system. Set up and maintain AI agents that run regression tests, explore new features, check customer flows, and flag risks automatically. Keep improving them as the tools get better.
• Know the customer. Learn how fund managers, LPs, and our internal teams actually use Decile Hub and Start Fund. Read support tickets, shadow onboarding calls, and turn real customer confusion into test cases.
• Own the onboarding and login flows. Make sure every step a new LP or fund manager takes (invites, login, verification, documents, capital calls) works the first time, every time.
• Run classic QA with discipline. Write test plans, maintain regression suites, track and triage bugs, and run release checks. Keep it all organized so anyone on the team can see what was tested and what is at risk.
• Partner across Decile Group teams. Work closely with engineering, product, and customer success. When something breaks or looks risky, escalate early and clearly.

What You Bring

• 5+ years in QA, test engineering, or a related role on a SaaS product
• Hands-on experience building with AI agents and automation tools
• A track record of catching issues before release, not just logging them after
• Experience with test automation for web applications
• Strong organization: test plans, bug tracking, and release checklists that other people can follow
• Clear written communication. Your bug reports tell an engineer exactly what happened and how to reproduce it
• Customer empathy. You can put yourself in the shoes of a first-time user and see where they will get lost

Nice to Have

• Experience with venture capital, fund administration, or financial compliance workflows
• Experience with Ruby on Rails applications
• Experience testing onboarding, identity verification, or payment flows How to Apply: If you don't tick every box above, we'd still encourage you to apply. We're building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another.   Please describe why you are uniquely qualified for this position in the competitive field of Venture Capital, including an example of an issue you anticipated and caught before it reached customers, as well as submitting your resume.   Salary and benefits are commensurate with experience.   Scam Warning VC Lab and Decile Group never conduct hiring interviews via chat, and we will never ask candidates to send money, purchase equipment, or share financial information.
