About Us
Epic Kids is the leading digital reading platform built for kids 12 and under, trusted by millions of children, educators, and families around the world. Our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of reading by providing unlimited access to thousands of high-quality books, videos, and educational content through a safe and engaging experience. We combine technology, storytelling, and learning innovation to help every child become a confident reader.
At Epic, you'll join a collaborative and fast-paced global team passionate about building meaningful products that make a real impact on children's education and literacy.
About the Role
The QA Engineer will help drive the quality and reliability of Epic's products as we grow. You are a hands-on tester who owns the quality of the features you cover -- planning what to test, finding the problems that matter, and making sure they get fixed before they reach users. You will work across Epic's web app, iOS and Android apps, and the services behind them, partnering closely with product and engineering throughout the development cycle.
This is a remote, India-based role working closely with a global engineering team. Because the team is US-anchored, you will maintain a few hours of daily overlap with US working hours to collaborate with product and engineering.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and maintain test plans and test cases from product specs and acceptance criteria across web and mobile
- Execute manual functional, exploratory, and regression testing across web and mobile, including cross-browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and cross-device coverage on real iOS and Android devices
- Own release verification -- run smoke and sanity passes and provide QA sign-off before releases ship
- Write clear, reproducible bug reports; triage severity and priority, and drive defects to closure with engineers
- Strengthen and expand Epic's automated testing -- extend UI/end-to-end and API coverage and grow it as features change
- Partner with product and engineering during feature development to catch issues early
- Track and report QA coverage, defect trends, and release-quality signals
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years in a QA or software-testing role, including hands-on manual test planning and execution
- Experience testing native mobile apps on real iOS and Android devices
- Structured bug reporting and defect triage in an issue tracker (e.g., Jira)
- Experience building automated UI/end-to-end and API tests with a modern framework (e.g., Playwright or Cypress)
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a sense of ownership over quality
- Fluency in English
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
Preferred Skills
- Familiarity with running tests in CI (e.g., Jenkins)
- Prior QA experience with consumer web or mobile applications
- Basic SQL for data verification
- Experience with test-management tooling (e.g., TestRail, Zephyr)
- Familiarity with Verilix for automated regression orchestration
- Familiarity with accessibility testing against WCAG

Epic! (operating under getepic.com, legally Epic! Creations, Inc.) is the premier, enterprise-grade digital reading platform, children's educational media pioneer, and interactive EdTech orchestration powerhouse engineered to act as the definitive, high-visibility digital library, student performance tracking, and personalized literacy layer for millions of children, parents, and elementary school teachers globally. Co-founded in 2013 by digital media and gaming veterans Suren Markosian and Kevin Donahue, the company completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of modern childhood literacy development—where families struggle with high physical book costs, and schools face fragmented reading tracking resources alongside a sharp decline in student reading engagement—by deploying an immersive, high-velocity reading engagement matrix. Moving far beyond traditional, passive e-book reader utilities or static school PDF binders, Epic! natively unifies a curated catalog of over 40,000 high-quality books, audiobooks, learning videos, and read-to-me titles from 250+ top publishers (including HarperCollins, Macmillan, and National Geographic Kids) alongside gamified badge achievements, personalized quizzes, and a dedicated classroom insights dashboard. Operating at massive scale with accessibility spanning over 90% of elementary schools across the United States, the platform supports over 75 million young readers. Highlighting its category-defining momentum, Epic! was acquired by global digital education powerhouse Byju's for $500 million to anchor its international consumer expansion strategy. Under the hood, its technology framework utilizes advanced behavioral content recommendation loops, lightweight real-time reading progress telemetry tracking, interactive word-highlighting audio sync tools, and copper-bottomed COPPA compliance architectures built to manage high-volume concurrent streaming traffic with absolute safety and minimal latency. What sets Epic! apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing passive screen time with absolute educational predictability, rich visual and textual storytelling, and structural classroom integration; by bridging the gap between performance-intensive relational media storage and immediate, child-first learning curiosity, the enterprise remains a definitive cornerstone of modern algorithmic EdTech and global literacy transformation.
