About the role

As a Junior QA Automation Engineer, at Fable, you will help ensure the quality and reliability of our products while building hands-on experience in test automation and modern software development practices.

Fable’s products support organizations in building more accessible digital experiences, and quality is essential to delivering that impact. You will work within a cross-functional pod alongside Engineering, Product, and Design to support testing efforts and contribute to building high-quality, reliable software.

This role reports to an Engineering Manager and is embedded within a product pod, where you will collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers. At Fable, quality is a shared responsibility, and you will work alongside engineers to integrate testing into the development process rather than treating it as a separate phase.

This role is designed for a recent graduate or early-career candidate who is excited about automation, enjoys problem-solving, and wants to grow into a technical QA or SDET career path over time.

• Recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Science, or a related technical field

Our values

To lead, listen first
You amplify voices that are less often heard and create space for those voices to grow. The quality of an idea doesn't correlate with the loudness of someone's voice.

The brain is a muscle
If you're going to do something, you will do it well. Practice often and rest when needed. Give your mind what it needs to thrive.

Unlearn to learn
What did we learn growing up, and what do we need to unlearn? It's essential to understanding our personal bias and position so that we can grow.

Benefits

What’s in it for you?
At Fable, you’ll join a collaborative and mission-driven environment where you’ll work with people who care deeply about building a more inclusive digital world. We offer benefits such as stock options, career growth opportunities, professional development support, health and dental coverage, and more.
