QA Engineering in Testing

Boom is on a mission to level the playing field for the 110+ million renters in the US by making housing more flexible, affordable, and rewarding. Boom is building a suite of rental financial services for renters and property managers, including tenant screening, rent payment reporting, rent reporting-as-a-service, and a number of integrations with the largest property management systems (PMS). Boom serves renters through the Boom App and property managers via the Boom Platform. It's backed by investors such as Starting Line, Clocktower Ventures, Gilgamesh Ventures (Petal co-founders), and angels such as William Hockey and Zach Perret (Co-founders of Plaid) and Harry Stebbings. Boom has been profiled by Inman, Business Insider, HousingWire, and more.
The QA Engineer owns product quality, reliability, and consistency across the Boom platform. You'll run manual and exploratory testing, identify bugs, and verify quality across web, mobile, and our integrations, with a focus on customer impact, edge cases, and release readiness.

At Boom, quality directly affects property manager trust and renter experience. You'll partner closely with product, engineering, and customer success to catch issues before they reach customers, document clean reproduction steps, and advocate for the fixes that matter most.
This is a hands-on testing role for someone who enjoys breaking things to make them better and thrives in a fast-paced environment. Run manual and exploratory testing across new features, regressions, and edge cases. Test third-party integrations (payment processors, accounting systems, banking partners) for data accuracy and reliability
