Job description

We’re Optix — helping flex and coworking space operators build smarter, more automated spaces and better-connected communities.

Our platform powers the digital backbone of coworking and flex spaces around the world, uniting automation, CRM, and community engagement tools into one seamless experience. We help our customers create beautiful, integrated, human-centered workspaces that run smoothly for managers and members alike.

We’re a passionate team that supports each other to do our best work. You’ll often find us sharing pour-over coffee, chocolate croissants, and big ideas about the future of flex spaces.

Optix is looking for a Quality Assurance Automation Engineer to design, build, and own a modern, automated QA practice as we evolve from a rules-based automation platform into a leading conversational, agentic workspace management system.

You’ll establish the processes, tooling, and automation frameworks that ensure our platform remains stable, scalable, and reliable, especially as AI-powered features become core to our product. Working closely with our product team, you will develop automated testing systems, build AI-assisted QA workflows, and directly contribute to issue resolution when bugs arise.

This is a rare opportunity to create a QA discipline from the ground up inside a profitable, proven SaaS company. You will shape how we test and validate software, particularly AI features, while collaborating with experienced AI leaders who will help you sharpen your testing, automation, and AI evaluation capabilities.

If you have 5+ years of experience in software Quality Assurance, and you’re excited by the opportunity to build a QA function from the ground up inside a fast-growing, product-driven company, we’d love to meet you.
