Quality Assurance Engineer About PublicInput PublicInput develops and supports Software-as-a-Service (Saas) solutions designed for government agencies and their consultant partners to facilitate and manage better communication with the public. Based in Raleigh, NC, the company was founded with a vision to access and elevate historically underrepresented communities in the municipal and state planning process, while simultaneously streamlining cumbersome administrative work that so often prevents equitable outcomes. With a shared background in planning consulting, the company’s co-founders believe that technology can play a key role in making government more responsive and representative of communities' broadest needs. Our Approach Many engagement solutions only address small parts of the engagement process, offering a piecemeal approach that relies on third-party partnerships to fill in the gaps.  PublicInput uses a unified approach, blending traditional and virtual engagement tactics via one integrated platform.  Reliable, equitable, and simple, our easy-to-use user interface gives governments all the tools needed to facilitate successful public engagement. Our Culture PublicInput is driven by the idea that “life is all about the people you meet and the things you create with them.” We are privileged to work with exceptionally talented colleagues to create a meaningful change for governments and society. PublicInput’s mission is to enable collaborative democracy through technology. This means creating systems that allow governments to build relationships with their community through more reliable communication, lowered barriers to participation, and data analytics to understand what they’re hearing. That is why we work hard to be the experienced and empathetic innovation partner that state and local governments deserve, while building an exceptional team and company. About The Role & You:  The Quality Assurance Engineer is the bridge between our developers and the public agencies who rely on our platform every day. You safeguard the customer experience by anticipating how a system can break — catching glitches, regressions, security gaps, and usability issues before they ever reach a resident filling out a survey or a planner running a public meeting. In this role, you'll partner closely with engineers, product managers, and customer-facing teams to design test strategies, execute manual and automated tests, and sign off on sprint work. You'll develop a deep understanding of how design and implementation decisions impact scalability, reliability, accessibility, and the overall customer experience. Software engineering — and QA along with it — is changing rapidly with AI. Our team has embraced this technology to improve velocity, expand test coverage, and produce more readable, well-documented test suites. We expect any candidate to have a solid understanding of AI-assisted engineering and testing tools, and experience applying them as a force multiplier. What You Will Do: Design and Execute Tests Develop and execute comprehensive testing strategies across web and mobile experiences by creating clear, step-by-step test cases that validate features and functionality. Perform manual testing to evaluate the software from an end-user perspective, identifying usability concerns, edge cases, and unexpected defects. Build and maintain automated tests using programming languages and testing frameworks to improve efficiency, accelerate development cycles, and expand test coverage. Conduct regression testing to ensure new updates do not negatively impact existing functionality, with a focus on critical user flows and system integrations. Additionally, integrate automated test suites into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines so tests run consistently on builds and pull requests, enabling rapid feedback and supporting high-quality releases.   Own Product Quali
