Sobre

Our Company

• Tenchi is a Cyber Security company building innovative technology focused on Third-Party Cyber Risk Management for businesses. Founded by serial entrepreneurs and supported by solid institutional investors, we are driven to disrupt this fast-growing industry.
• Tenchi was created to tackle a real challenge: companies often face security risks because their third-parties don’t maintain the same level of cyber protection. This gap leaves even the largest organizations potentially vulnerable to incidents they can’t directly control. That’s exactly where we step in.
• Our TPCRM SaaS solution, Zanshin, is the only global TPCRM solution that offers both inside-out and outside-in visibility - combining external attack surface monitoring with automated, continuous, and non-intrusive assessments of cloud infrastructure (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and security controls.

Our People and Culture

• What We Believe
• At Tenchi, we build innovative technology to help companies secure their ecosystems with transparency and peace of mind. We are ambitious and purpose-driven. Our culture is rooted in intentionality, transparency, and action. We move fast, communicate openly, and invest in people who want to make an impact.
• As a 100% remote company with team members across Brazil, the US, Canada, Argentina, and Spain, we embrace flexibility while solving meaningful challenges together.

The role

• Are you a technical leader with a passion for building things from scratch and ensuring software quality at scale?
• We’re looking for a Lead Test Engineer who will be the first hire to establish and grow our testing area. This is a unique opportunity to combine hands-on technical work with leadership in defining processes, tools, and strategy for QA within the company.
• You’ll design and implement our testing practices (manual and automated), introduce modern frameworks, and collaborate across teams to make quality a core part of our culture. Over time, you’ll also help grow and mentor a QA team.

What you’ll do

• Build and Lead Testing Practices: Define the testing strategy, frameworks, and processes from the ground up.
• Manual & Automated Testing: Perform and lead manual UI testing across browsers/devices, while developing automated end-to-end tests using TypeScript frameworks (e.g., Cypress, Playwright).
• Test Infrastructure: Design, implement, and maintain scalable test cases, suites, and regression packs.
• Bug Reporting & Quality Metrics: Establish standards for bug reporting, defect tracking, and key quality metrics.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner closely with developers, product managers, and UX/UI designers to ensure testing is embedded in every stage of the development lifecycle.
• Continuous Improvement: Evaluate and introduce new tools, methodologies, and practices to improve test coverage, speed, and reliability.
• Mentorship & Growth: As the area grows, provide guidance and mentorship to future QA/test engineers.

What we’re looking for

• Technical Expertise: Strong knowledge of manual testing, automation practices, and modern testing frameworks (TypeScript/JavaScript preferred).
• Leadership Skills: Proven ability to define processes, set standards, and influence a culture of quality.
• Problem-Solving & Strategy: Ability to think critically, anticipate risks, and propose effective testing solutions.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication, capable of aligning stakeholders on quality goals.
• Hands-On Mindset: Willingness to roll up your sleeves and build tests while shaping long-term strategy.
• Experience with frameworks like Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or Jest.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating testing into deployment workflows.
• Previous experience in a founding QA role or building a test area from scratch.
• Exposure to bug tracking/project management tools (GitHub Issues, Jira, Asana).
