What we are building

Mimica's mission is to accelerate the discovery and deployment of automation with AI. 

Our first product, Mapper, learns patterns from employee clicks and keystrokes, identifies key steps, decisions and repetition and generates “blueprints” for automation. At the core of our ML pipeline is a technology translating noisy low-level computer actions into a clean, human-readable representation. Alongside creating process maps for automation, we've launched a companion tool, Miner, which helps enterprises identify and prioritize automation opportunities.

Our approach to engineering

  • We prioritize customer needs first
  • We work in small, project-based teams
  • We have flexibility in terms of the problems we work on
  • We own the full lifecycle of our projects
  • We avoid silos and encourage taking up tasks in new areas
  • We balance quality and velocity
  • We have a shared responsibility for our production code
  • We each set our own routine to maximize our productivity

What you will own

As our first Quality Engineering Lead, you will be a key player in defining our testing culture and transforming our release cycle by enabling us to ship code reliably and faster. You will own the end-to-end QA process for the Mimica Web App and work alongside developers with a primary focus on adding tests, changing app code as needed, expanding on our automated test cases and continuously refining our automated testing frameworks. 

Part of your day-to-day

  • Enhancing our existing automation framework to scale testing as we add new features.
  • Defining the test strategy, creating plans, authoring new test cases and running tests to support ongoing releases and provide full test coverage.
  • Designing, developing and executing automated scripts to streamline the testing process.
  • Gathering diagnostics for defect reporting and triaging issues.
  • Collaborating across teams to establish and document quality standards, including acceptance criteria.
  • Partnering with product management to understand user requirements and translate them into comprehensive test cases.
  • Staying updated on industry best practices and emerging trends in QA automation and proactively implementing improvements.
  • Mentoring and guiding other engineers on automation best practices, coding standards and test methodologies to foster a culture of quality.

Requirements

  • Background as a QA Automation Engineer or SDET, including experience in developing automated test suites at both the UI layer and the backend.
  • Track record of designing and implementing tests for various use cases, with a deep understanding of what and why to automate specific tests.
  • Strong core programming skills with proficiency in at least one high-level language, ideally JavaScript or TypeScript.
  • Commitment to upholding high engineering standards, prioritizing code quality, testability, maintainability and reliability.
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
  • Drive to continually develop your skills, improve team processes and elevate product quality.
  • Fluency in English, with effective communication skills – articulating complex technical ideas and trade-offs clearly.

Bonus

  • Deep knowledge of Playwright or equivalent such as Selenium, Appium or Cypress.
  • Proficiency in build automation, container orchestration and CI/CD tools.
  • Experience working within a high-impact, high-ambiguity startup environment – delivering value quickly and iteratively.

We’d love to hear from you, even if you feel you don’t quite have all of the above.

Location

This is a fully remote position. You can be based anywhere in the UK, Europe, or the Americas within a UTC-7 to UTC+3 timezone.

Benefits

We provide generous compensation and our goal is to always pay at the top of the local market. We take a structured approach to determining salaries and take into consideration our salary framework, market data, and candidates’ skills.

We also offer health benefits and ample paid time off, as well as a range of non-tangible benefits like flexible schedules and location, start-to-finish project ownership, and the opportunity to contribute to projects that will change the future of work.
