How to Apply for Senior Quality Assurance Engineer

at DeepSea Technologies

🏢 About DeepSea Technologies

DeepSea Technologies develops AI-driven software specifically for commercial shipping to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, making it a unique player at the intersection of maritime technology and environmental sustainability. Working here means contributing to tangible climate impact through cutting-edge SaaS solutions in a traditionally hard-to-decarbonize industry.

About This Role

This Senior QA Engineer role involves end-to-end quality assurance for AI-powered maritime optimization software, from early collaboration with engineers and product owners to test planning, execution, and process improvement. The role is impactful because ensuring the reliability of fuel-saving algorithms directly affects client operational costs and global shipping emissions.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up to coordinate with remote engineering teams on upcoming releases, followed by designing test cases for new AI model features, executing API tests on back-end services, and documenting defects in collaboration with developers. Later, you might review test plans with product owners or mentor junior QA engineers on best practices.

Highlight specific experience with SaaS products in regulated or data-intensive industries (maritime, logistics, energy preferred)

2

Quantify your impact on previous projects—e.g., 'reduced bug escape rate by X%' or 'improved test automation coverage for API endpoints'

3

Mention any familiarity with maritime, logistics, or environmental tech sectors, even if tangential

4

Showcase experience with both back-end (data/API) and front-end testing, as the role requires full-stack QA

5

Tailor your resume to emphasize cloud-based testing experience and collaboration with engineering teams early in development

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Express specific interest in DeepSea's mission to reduce shipping emissions through AI", 'Detail your experience with SaaS QA processes, particularly for data-driven or algorithmic products', 'Highlight instances where you improved QA standards or mentored junior team members', "Connect your technical skills (API testing, programming languages) directly to the role's requirements"]
