About Blue J
Blue J is the leading generative AI solution for tax professionals and one of Canada's fastest-growing AI companies. Headquartered in Toronto, we're a high-growth B2B SaaS company building industry-leading tax research software that helps accountants find accurate answers to complex tax questions with greater speed and confidence.
Backed by a $122M USD Series D funding round, we're scaling rapidly across North America and the UK while continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI. By combining advanced technology with deep tax expertise, we empower tax professionals to work more efficiently, make better decisions, and deliver greater value to their clients.
A Note on Location
Fully remote, but you must live within driving distance of our Toronto office. You’ll join us in person for every quarterly and occasionally for team get-togethers (typically 1–3 visits per quarter). All candidates must be eligible to work in Canada. To help you get off to a great start, we bring all new team members together for their first three days of onboarding. If you’re based outside of our local commuting area, Blue J will arrange and cover your travel and accommodation.
The Opportunity
Blue J’s Content Pillar team builds the systems that turn complex, varied source material into accurate, up-to-date content for our AI-powered tax products. Our work spans the entire data pipeline,
from initial content ingestion, to near-realtime indexing, to retrieval by RAG algorithms, along with the tools that help our Legal Research team apply their domain expertise effectively.
We’re looking for a QA Strategist to shape how we build quality into the product, from initial specification through to production. This isn’t a rote testing role. You’ll apply systems thinking to explore features, help define requirements, test the boundaries of LLM-backed systems, and write or review code where needed. Working across Engineering, Product, and Customer teams, you’ll uncover blind spots early and help the team ship with confidence.
We’re looking for someone who’s technically sharp, curious, and has a bias towards action. You’ll uncover blind spots, think holistically about user experience, and help the team build and ship with confidence.
What You’ll Be Doing
Shaping work before it’s built
- Advocating for the end user in discovery, planning, and design work, surfacing unknowns, clarifying requirements, and identifying use cases others miss
- Collaborating with Product and internal domain experts to devise test scenarios that align with real-world user problems
- Identifying measures of success and using up-to-date tools to ensure our system remains observable, debuggable, and provides actionable insights
Ensuring confident delivery of software that will delight customers
- Leading exploratory and regression testing for new features, tailored to the risks of each release
- Investigating bugs and user feedback, and working with developers to identify root causes and develop solutions
- Writing lightweight tools to support testing workflows, and occasionally fixing bugs in production code
Raising the quality bar across the Engineering organization
- Coaching and enabling developers, creating a multiplier effect where you’re mainly consulted on novel problems rather than acting as a safety net
- Expanding our LLM evaluation tools to help us gain confidence in algorithmic improvements, learning from production system metrics rather than gut feel
- Collaborating with QA peers and developers across pillars to identify and solve systemic issues, including problems that are non-deterministic or have infinite surface area
What You Offer Blue J
- 5+ years of experience in a quality-focused role
- A technical background: you understand how software systems function beyond test cases, are comfortable reading and debugging production code, and enjoy writing maintainable tools to automate QA tasks and aid testing efforts
- Data spelunking proficiency: you can write scrappy scripts or queries to crunch millions of rows of SQL to find insidious anomalies or other needles in a haystack
- A sense of ownership: you take initiative, work on the highest-impact tasks first, and can manage your own priorities with ease
- Strong written and oral communication: you can reason through a high-stakes problem calmly, speak the language of any cross-functional stakeholders, and document findings
