  • Experience with automation testing on web apps (Cypress, Playwright, or similar), writing and maintaining test suites, not just manual passes.

Additional Information

Ostium is on a simple mission: make it possible for anyone with a digital wallet to trade stocks, commodities, currencies, and crypto with full transparency. No brokers, no freezes, no hidden spreads. We're replacing the opaque, offshore brokerage model with a transparent, permissionless trading stack built onchain. Every trade, deposit, and withdrawal is verifiable through open, auditable code. We've raised $27.9M+ from General Catalyst, Jump, LocalGlobe, Susquehanna (SIG), GSR, Alliance DAO, Soma Capital, Balaji Srinivasan, Meltem Demirors, and others. QA Engineer (Remote / Full-Time) We're hiring a QA engineer (2-4 years experience) who understands DeFi. You'll own quality across our web and mobile frontends, not just running test cases, but thinking like a user who has real money on the line. You need to understand how perpetual trading works, what leverage means, how wallets connect, how transactions flow and where all of that can break.
