Mission of the Role
Ensure the quality, stability, and reliability of Moloco’s services by conducting rigorous manual testing and building AI Agent-driven automated testing frameworks.

What You will Do
- Conduct thorough manual testing for new features, complex edge cases, and user-centric scenarios to ensure high product quality before release.
- Design, build, and scale an AI Agent-assisted test automation framework to transition repetitive manual tests into automated integration and end-to-end tests.
- Utilize AI Agents for automated test generation, script maintenance (auto-healing), and enhancing exploratory testing.
- Analyze bugs and errors found during both manual and automated testing, and communicate actionable findings (repro steps, root-cause insights) to Software Engineers.
- Choose the appropriate testing strategy for each service or feature, balancing manual testing, automation, regression coverage, and release risk.
- Integrate AI-driven QA tooling into CI/CD pipelines to identify quality risks early in the development lifecycle.
- Improve development efficiency and performance by identifying quality risks early and integrating QA into the development process.
- Work closely with Software Engineers to enhance and improve programs, testability, and release quality.
- Maintain clear test documentation, defect records, and guidelines to ensure seamless QA operations.
How Do I Know if the Role is Right For Me?
- Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, with software-testing coursework or at least one year of software-testing experience.
- Basic understanding of Agile/DevOps software development practices and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD).
- Strong attention to detail with a proven ability to identify edge cases, negative scenarios, boundary conditions, and gaps in requirements through manual testing.
- Familiarity with API testing, backend service verification, frontend testing.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English and Korean.
Preferred Skills
- Experience or strong interest in leveraging AI tools/LLM Agents for QA processes (e.g., automated test script generation, auto-healing, log analysis).
- Familiarity with Jira or comparable test-management and issue-tracking tools.
- Familiarity with security/penetration testing concepts.
