About PackageX
PackageX builds the Physical Logistics Execution Platform for enterprise teams working across manufacturing sites, distribution centers, warehouses, retail locations, and other logistics-heavy environments.
Our platform combines Vision AI, workflow automation, mobile execution, and integrations to help companies digitize, execute, and verify physical operations at the point of work, creating trusted evidence of what actually happened.
Our operating model is simple: Execution. Verification. Evidence.
Why This Role Exists
Our software runs on warehouse floors, in mailrooms, and at receiving docks. When it breaks, it doesn't fail quietly in a dashboard somewhere. A worker is standing there with a scanner that won't scan, a label that won't read, and a line of packages piling up behind them.
We're hiring a Senior QA Automation Engineer to make sure that moment never arrives. You'll own quality across our mobile apps, web platform, SDKs, and Vision AI workflows, and you'll build automation as core infrastructure so coverage grows at the pace our releases demand.
You'll write and own JavaScript/TypeScript automation across mobile, web, API, and SDK layers, wire it all into CI/CD, and test by hand where automation falls short: new features, scanner quirks, camera capture in bad lighting, and networks that drop mid-shift. You'll join our engineering team, work alongside our existing QA function, and set the direction for how we test.
How This Role Works
This is one role with a few hats, and you'll switch between them often, sometimes in the same day.
Web and API automation. You're in the code: building Playwright-based web automation, and driving it through MCP servers to speed up how tests get written and maintained. You write API and integration tests in Vitest, grow regression coverage, triage failures, and keep suites reliable instead of flaky.
Mobile and SDK automation. You own our WebdriverIO and Appium mobile suite (Mocha, Allure reporting, Testmo integration) for the PackageX React Native app, and you build test coverage for our SDKs: integration harnesses, sample apps, contract tests, and version regression matrices.
Hands-on validation. Where automation can't see well, you pick up the device: exploratory testing of new features, scanning and camera capture, offline sync, rugged handhelds, and customer-specific workflows before pilots and go-lives.
If you only want to write scripts and never touch a device, or you've only ever executed manual test cases, this probably isn't your role. If you genuinely enjoy both, keep reading.
What You'll Do
- Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks for our React Native app (WebdriverIO and Appium with Mocha), web platform (Playwright), and APIs and SDKs (Vitest).
