About Paragon
Paragon is the leading integration infrastructure platform for AI. Companies like Zendesk, Postman, and Five9 use Paragon to power integrations for agent tool calling, RAG ingestion, and more. With 130+ pre-built connectors, fully-managed authentication, and embedded SDK / APIs designed for native product integrations, Paragon helps developers scale integrations 10x faster than building in-house.
About The Role
Paragonʼs Workflow Engine gives customers a way to build, run, and manage complex workflows on top of their integrations. These workflows often involve triggers, branching logic, retries, asynchronous execution, third-party APIs, and failure handling across multiple systems. Quality on this team is not just about checking UI flows. It means validating that workflows behave correctly end-to-end, including execution state, retry behavior, scheduling, error handling, and the product experience customers use to build and debug workflows. Weʼre looking for a QA Automation Engineer who can raise the quality bar across this surface area through strong Playwright-based automation, backend and API validation, and a sharp eye for edge cases in complex systems. Why this role matters The Workflow Engine is one of the more complex parts of our product. It sits at the intersection of product UX, backend systems, integrations, and asynchronous execution. Small issues can turn into confusing customer experiences or hard-to-debug failures. This role is important because it helps us ship faster with more confidence. We want someone who can improve coverage on the paths that matter most, catch subtle regressions before they reach customers, and make quality a stronger part of how the team builds every day. What success looks like In the first few months, a strong hire will ramp up on the Workflow Engine architecture, understand the major failure modes, and start contributing meaningful automated coverage quickly. Over time, they will become a key quality owner for the team by improving end-to-end test coverage, increasing trust in CI, reducing flaky tests, and helping engineers ship changes to the Workflow Engine with confidence.

What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain automated test coverage for the Workflow Engine using Playwright
- Validate critical product flows end to end, from workflow creation and configuration through execution and debugging
- Test backend services, APIs, webhooks, and asynchronous workflow behavior in addition to UI flows
- Design coverage for complex scenarios including retries, branching logic, partial failures, race conditions, scheduling, and long-running execution
- Partner closely with engineers and product managers to improve testability, clarify acceptance criteria, and catch issues earlier in the development cycle
- Improve the quality of our CI signal by reducing flakiness, increasing reliability, and making failures easier to debug
- Build reusable fixtures, test data setup, helpers, and tooling that make automation easier to write and maintain
- Investigate product issues and test failures deeply to identify root cause and prevent recurring regressions
- Help define the quality strategy for one of the more complex parts of the Paragon platform
- Strong hands-on experience with Playwright and end-to-end automation for complex product flows
- Experience testing backend systems, APIs, and asynchronous or event-driven workflows
- Strong debugging skills across browser tests, APIs, logs, and distributed system behavior
- Ability to reason through stateful systems and edge cases like retries, timing issues, duplicate events, partial failures, and long-running jobs
- Experience building and maintaining stable automation in CI/CD environments
- Strong coding skills and comfort working in a modern engineering codebase
- Ability to work closely with engineers and act as a quality owner, not just a test executor
- Clear communication and sound product judgment around risk, coverage, and release quality Nice to have
- Experience with TypeScript
- Experience testing workflow, orchestration, or automation products
- Experience testing integrations, webhooks, and third-party APIs
- Experience building reusable Playwright frameworks, fixtures, or internal testing tools
- Experience with observability tools and production debugging
- Experience with performance or reliability testing
