ARE YOU SEEKING A NEW CHALLENGE IN A DYNAMIC SECTOR? This is a very exciting and highly innovative time here at Outside. OUR TRUE NORTH:Outside Interactive, Inc., the premier hub for active lifestyle enthusiasts, offers best-in-class content and experiences to more than 70 million of the world’s most passionate outdoor, wellness, and endurance enthusiasts every month. We inspire a broad and diverse audience to do the activities they love with greater enjoyment, inspiration, and knowledge and are dedicated to making real change in the outdoor and fitness industries. ### About the role Come join the MapMyFitness team at Outside as a QA Automation Engineer. You will own the test automation strategy for MapMyRun, MapMyWalk, MapMyRide, and our other fitness tracking applications used by millions of athletes worldwide — designing the frameworks, building the coverage, and wiring it all into our CI/CD pipelines so the team can ship confidently and often. We are a lean, AI-augmented engineering team. We use AI coding tools as a force multiplier across development and testing, and we’re looking for someone who is energized by that way of working — not someone who wants to run a large manual QA operation. You’ll work closely with engineers, product, design, and growth marketing, and you’ll tackle testing problems most QA roles never see: GPS route simulation, GPX replay, sensor and location mocking, and real-world edge cases across iOS, Android, and web. MapMyFitness is more than a fitness tracking platform — it’s a community that empowers people to achieve their health and fitness goals through data-driven insights and connected experiences. Our North Star is to equip our users with the very best tools to track, analyze, and improve their active lifestyles. ### What you will do - Design, build, and maintain test automation frameworks for our web, iOS, and Android applications - Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines so every merge is validated automatically, and own the health of those suites — flake triage, runtime, and reliability - Build automated API test coverage for the services that power our apps - Develop strategies for testing location-based features, including GPS simulation, GPX replay, and device sensor mocking - Use AI tools to accelerate test authoring, maintenance, and analysis — and help define how AI fits into our QA workflows - Perform targeted exploratory and regression testing on new features where human judgment adds the most value - Document and track defects with clear reproduction steps and severity assessments - Collaborate with engineers, product, and design to understand requirements, identify edge cases, and build testability into features from the start - Participate in sprint planning, provide QA estimates, and advocate for quality throughout the development lifecycle ### This describes you - You have 4+ years of experience in software quality assurance, including 2+ years building test automation - You have strong programming skills in at least one language (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Java preferred) - You have hands-on experience building or significantly extending an automation framework using modern tools such as Playwright or Cypress for web, and Maestro, Appium, XCUITest, or Espresso for mobile - You have experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or similar) - You have automated API testing beyond Postman collections — you can write API tests in code - You use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) as a force multiplier and are excited about applying AI to quality engineering - You have strong exploratory testing instincts and a keen eye for detail — automation is your default, but you know when human judgment matters - You are familiar with bug tracking and test management tools (Jira, TestRail, or similar) - You are a strong communicator in a fully remote environment and can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders - You are able to work independently in situations of ambiguity --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
