About the role

BigBear.ai is seeking a QA Automation Engineer to translate product requirements into test coverage, build Playwright automation, and collaborate with Product and Engineering for release readiness.

You will design risk-based coverage, validate AI workflows, and integrate tests into CI/CD while maintaining reproducible evidence of defects

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
