About the role
- It is what a brand's customer sees when they check out.
- If you are an engineer who takes quality personally, thrives in an environment where the practice is yours to shape, and wants to do technically serious work on a product surface that real customers depend on every day - this role was built for you.
- High-visibility product surface - our Shopify components and brand portal are what merchants and their customers interact with every day; quality here has a direct line to brand retention
Responsibilities
- Manual QA here is the bridge you build across while automation catches up, not a permanent operating mode.
- Build an E2E test suite covering key customer journeys across the storefront and brand portal, wired into CI so regressions are caught on every PR.
- Own the quality strategy for Stord's Shopify-embedded products: storefront app blocks, checkout extensions, onboarding flows, and the brand configuration interface.
- Maintain a structured cross-theme QA playbook for compatibility scenarios that require human verification.
- Stord is leveling the playing field for all brands to deliver the best consumer experience at scale.
- With Stord, brands can increase cart conversion, improve unit economics, and drive sustained customer loyalty.
- Stord is building the operating system for modern supply chain, a unified platform handling Order Management, Warehouse Management, Transportation, and Consumer Experience for leading brands across commerce.
Requirements
- You have tested against real scale: multi-team codebases, high-release-cadence teams, or customer-facing surfaces where defects have measurable business impact.
- TypeScript (4+ years) - You write real production TypeScript across test frameworks and CI tooling, not just configuration files.
- You can navigate a codebase you did not write.
- E2E test automation - You have built and maintained Playwright or Cypress suites against real web applications in production CI.
- You know how to handle flakiness, authenticated flows, and rate-limited environments.
- CI/CD integration - You have wired test suites into GitHub Actions or equivalent.
- You know when to block a PR versus report asynchronously.
- Required Soft Skills
- Familiarity with Shopify app development: theme app extensions, checkout extensions, Shopify Functions, or App Bridge
- Experience with visual regression tools (Percy, Chromatic, or equivalent)
Nice to have
- Exposure to Elixir codebases
- Performance or load testing experience
- 30 days: You have completed a structured walkthrough of the Commerce product surface, documented the critical user journeys, and executed your first regression pass.
- You have a prioritized automation roadmap and the team trusts your quality judgment.
- 6 months: The Commerce team ships with quality confidence they can point to.
- Regressions are caught before production.
- You are the quality authority on a team that ships with intent.
- What Success Looks Like
Compensation
- Stord manages over $10 billion of commerce annually through its fulfillment, warehousing, transportation, and operator-built software suite including OMS, Pre- and Post-Purchase, and WMS platforms.
Benefits
- Hundreds of leading DTC and B2B companies like AG1, True Classic, Native, Seed Health, quip, goodr, Sundays for Dogs, and more trust Stord to deliver industry-leading consumer experiences on every order.
- Manual QA and Quality Coverage
- Write and execute test plans, run structured regression passes before releases, and document coverage gaps with enough fidelity that engineers can act on them immediately.
- Make it easy for engineers to add coverage as a natural part of shipping.
- Define the right mix of automated and manual coverage for a surface that spans multiple merchant themes and checkout environments.
- Define coverage matrices and quality gates tied to Commerce's product areas: Protect, Engage, Resolve, Unbox, and Renew.
