Quality Analyst – Schmooze

About Schmooze

At Schmooze, we are redefining how people connect and match online. Through cutting-edge AI and machine learning, we’ve built a meme-driven recommendation and matching system that keeps users engaged in meaningful and entertaining ways.
We’re not here to build just another dating app—we’re here to revolutionize how people form connections, one meme at a time.
Founded by Vidya Madhavan and Abhinav Anurag, alumni of Stanford and BITS Pilani, Schmooze has been featured in TechCrunch, Forbes, and The Economic Times for its innovative approach. With millions of interactions worldwide, we’ve proven that memes aren’t just jokes—they’re a powerful way to connect people.

Why You Should Join Us

At Schmooze, we move fast, solve tough problems, and refuse to settle for mediocrity. As a SDET/Quality Analyst, you’ll ensure that every user interaction—whether a meme swipe, a chat, or a match—is smooth, reliable, and delightful.
Impact Millions: Your testing will directly shape how millions of users experience Schmooze.
Cutting-Edge Tech: Work with a real-time, data-driven stack and ensure it meets the highest reliability and performance standards.
High Ownership & No Bureaucracy: No red tape—just a small, driven team solving massive problems.
User-First Mindset: Your insights will help us deliver seamless experiences across matching, chatting, and recommendations.

What You’ll Do

Own the end-to-end quality of Schmooze’s features—matching, recommendations, chat, payments, and more.
Design and execute test strategies (manual + automated) to ensure scalability, stability, and performance.
Simulate real-world user behaviors from apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and stress-test edge cases.
Work closely with developers to reproduce, document, and prioritize bugs.
Build automated regression test suites for APIs, backend systems, and user-facing features.
Continuously improve QA frameworks, processes, and best practices.
Be the voice of quality and user experience inside the team.

The Challenges You’ll Tackle

Ensure state-of-the-art Meme Recommendation Algorithms are bug-free, fast, and reliable.
Validate our Matching Algorithm for fairness and engagement (no ghosting bias, no "top 5% only" favoritism 👀).
Optimize real-time messaging + swipes for ultra-low latency.
Build test frameworks to scale quality as user interactions explode worldwide.

What We Look For

Experience: 0–2 years in QA/SDET roles (startup experience = bonus).
Strong knowledge of testing strategies, debugging, and automation frameworks.
Familiarity with distributed systems, async architectures, and real-time data.
Good understanding of user behaviors on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, etc.
Exceptional organizational skills—able to track, manage, and maintain bug lists.
Strong communicator—can collaborate closely with devs, product, and design.
Hunger to solve world-changing problems and deliver flawless user experiences.
