Quality Assurance Specialist

Full Time
Los Angeles

What we do

BuildOps is a well-funded technology startup that is developing an innovative SaaS platform designed to dramatically improve the lives of Commercial Real Estate (CRE) service contractors. We will be leveraging the latest technology, along with data analytics, to completely transform a $30 billion industry that is still mostly stuck using pen and paper.

Our co-founders have over a decade of experience in both CRE and SaaS technology, as well as a resume that includes Stanford, Harvard, Wharton, Cornell, Microsoft, and multiple successful startup exits, including a $1.2 billion acquisition.

BuildOps has raised multiple rounds of funding from some of the largest and most reputable Venture Capital firms including Founders Fund, Fika Ventures, and Greenspring Associates.

Who we are looking for

BuildOps is looking for an LA-based candidate to help drive our Quality Assurance (QA) initiatives. This candidate will join a well-funded, fast-growing technology startup with the unique opportunity to help build out a critical function for the company.

Maintain a schedule to align QA deliverables against the engineering team’s software release cycle.
Work with management to help build out LA-based QA team over time.

Need to have

Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Highly organized with impeccable attention to detail.
