Quality Assurance Engineer
Molten Cloud | Remote
How would you like to work in an environment in which you can directly shape the
quality of a product that's transforming an industry
At Molten Cloud, quality is everyone's responsibility — but yours most of all. We are
looking for a QA Engineer who thrives at the intersection of deep technical curiosity and
user-centered thinking. You will work across our full platform, applying both black-box
and white-box testing methodologies to ensure that every royalty calculation, rights
conflict check, and content workflow performs exactly as promised.
About Molten Cloud
Born out of MIT, Molten Cloud simplifies today's complex intellectual property rights,
content, and royalties operations for the media industry. Our platform is already used by
major organizations to manage hundreds of millions of film and TV rights and host
petabytes of content. In fact, our technology touches over 10% of all movies known to
exist on IMDb.
We are a diverse, highly collaborative team backed by top-tier venture funds and
prominent investors, including Jack Dorsey, Ashton Kutcher, and Michael Ovitz.
Why You Will Love Working Here
• Large, Interesting Problems to Solve: Our products are critical for the Hollywood
industry and we're sending content around the world to over 100 destinations.
The problems we solve are consequential and every day we manage petabytes
of data.
• Fast-Track Growth: With heavy mentorship and deep trust from day one, even
our more junior team members quickly build the kind of influence and ownership
typically reserved for seasoned staff.
• Modern Tooling: We want you to move fast. The company completely covers
your subscriptions for advanced AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude.
• Extremely Smart Coworkers: Learn from the best and then pay it forward and
mentor people yourself. We love to build leaders.
• A Culture of Camaraderie: We are a tight-knit group and there is a ton of
camaraderie amongst our staff.
What You Will Do
• Own end-to-end test coverage for our three core platform modules: Rights,
Royalties, and Content — ensuring accuracy in financial calculations, rights
conflict detection, and content delivery workflows.
• Design and execute black-box test plans covering user flows, edge cases,
boundary conditions, and negative testing across the platform UI and APIs.
• Apply white-box testing techniques — reviewing code paths, writing and
maintaining unit and integration tests — in close collaboration with our
engineering team.
• Write and maintain automated test suites in JavaScript using frameworks such as
Playwright or Cypress.
• Test REST API endpoints (FastAPI) for correctness, data integrity, and
performance under real-world conditions.
• Perform regression testing across releases and flag issues early through code
review participation.
• File detailed, reproducible bug reports and track them to resolution in
collaboration with engineers and product leadership.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline test integration to support rapid, confident
deployments.
What We Are Looking For
• Experience: 3+ years in a QA or SDET role on a SaaS product.
• Black-Box Testing: Strong instincts for functional testing, exploratory testing, user
flow validation, and edge case identification.
• White-Box Fundamentals: Comfortable reading code, contributing to
unit/integration test coverage, and collaborating with developers at the code
level.
• JavaScript Proficiency: Hands-on experience with test automation in JavaScript
(Playwright, Cypress, or similar).
• API Testing: Experience testing REST APIs via Postman, pytest, or equivalent
tooling.
• Data Awareness: Familiarity with MongoDB or complex data structures where
accuracy is non-negotiable.
• The Right Mindset: You thrive in a startup environment. You are analytical, detail-
obsessed, and take initiative to find problems before users do.
• English Proficiency: Fluent enough in English to communicate clearly with the
team in writing and video calls (B2+ level or equivalent professional experience).
• Bonus: Experience in media, entertainment, rights management, or fintech —
anywhere financial accuracy and data integrity are mission-critical.
