Authentic is the fastest growing social media app in the world by July 2025, seeks a relentless QA consultant to fortify our meteoric rise. This is a prime opportunity for an early-career engineer or QA specialist to join a funded startup scaling fast. Start as a consultant, with a clear path to a full-time role as we crush our growth targets. Our technical founder built a cutting-edge core in April 2025—your mission is to test it to perfection.

Role

Rigorously test our Next.js PWA to ensure uncompromised performance and reliability. Will be validating iOS/Android native apps / wrappers for app store dominance. Partner with engineers to eliminate bugs in our agile, Vercel-driven CI/CD pipeline.

Remote, 20-40 hours/week initially

First full time QA hire so make a big influence on our internal processes!

Requirements

A fierce desire to rigorously test new and recent code, delivering precise, actionable bug reports. Engineering background (formal or self-taught) to engage with code and align with developers. Familiarity with testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Cypress, Appium) preferred, but tenacity is non-negotiable.

No degree required—prove your mettle with a portfolio of projects or testing achievements.

Why Join?

We’ll equip you with critical QA skills, but a tenacious, detail-obsessed mindset will make you our champion. Shape the quality of a platform destined for global impact, collaborate with a technical founder, and seize the chance to transition into a full-time role as Authentic rockets to new heights. We move fast.

Compensation

Meaningful early‑stage equity plus a competitive cash package, tailored to expertise and location. We are a globally distributed team so you can be anywhere, but willingness to travel for meetups is important. Ideal for digital nomads, but would work for traditional folks just as well.
