Sometimes you're stuck in a job that doesn't make sense. Managing tasks and infinite backlogs, not talking to customers and miles away from making product decisions. If you love a good challenge, you're a curious product guy who experiments with AI and AI agents every day, and you want to be a part of one of the fastest-growing AI startups in Silicon Valley — then Arena is the company you're looking for.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a QA Engineer who’s passionate about technology, curious about how things work, and eager to ensure quality across our products. You’ll join a supportive, fast-paced environment and collaborate with experienced engineers to test web applications, APIs, and new features as they’re developed.

This is a great opportunity to grow in a company that values mentorship, ownership, and continuous learning.

What you will be doing:

• Collaborate with product and engineering to understand requirements and define test strategies.
• Write and maintain **manual and automated test cases** for web applications and APIs.
• Run exploratory and regression tests for new features and releases.
• Help monitor issues in production and identify patterns for improvement.
• Contribute to maintaining and expanding our automated test suite using Cypress and Jest.

The challenges:

• Real-time messaging to support 100,000 concurrent users per customer application;
• High performance: our API responses are in the 10ms range;
• High scalability: we use sharding, master-master, and master-slave to ensure scalability;
• High availability: our code is running on homepages of the most visited websites and apps in the internet;
• Distributed databases for our Data Platform storing every user engagement.
