Overview

micro1 is hiring QA Engineers to test 2D design, animation, illustration, and other creative applications. You will evaluate real-world workflows, identify bugs and usability issues, and help improve the quality and reliability of AI systems in creative software.

What You’ll Do

Test 2D and creative applications using real-world workflows
Identify bugs, usability issues, inconsistencies, and unexpected behavior
Create and execute test cases for different features and workflows
Reproduce issues and document clear steps, expected results, and actual results
Test edge cases and complex workflows used by designers, illustrators, or animators
Provide clear feedback on application functionality and user experience
Work with the team to improve testing quality and coverage

Requirements

Professional experience in QA, software testing, or application testing
Hands-on experience testing 2D, design, animation, illustration, or other creative software
Familiarity with tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, Sketch, After Effects, Animate, or similar creative applications
Experience with manual and functional testing, test cases, and bug reporting
Strong attention to detail and ability to identify visual and functional issues
Good problem-solving and analytical skills
Clear written and verbal communication skills

Who Should Apply

This role suits someone with a background in software QA who also understands creative workflows—ideally someone who has used design or animation tools professionally or extensively. You'll thrive if you have an eye for detail, can spot both functional bugs and usability friction, and enjoy learning new software quickly. It will frustrate you if you're looking for deep domain expertise in one tool, since you'll be testing across multiple creative applications.

Salary Insight

At $90–$175/hr on a contract basis, this is a strong hourly rate for QA work, particularly on the upper end, which suggests the role may span levels or regions, or that complex creative software testing commands premium rates. Contract work means no benefits; factor that into your rate expectations when comparing to salaried positions.

Application Tip

Lead with a specific creative application you've tested deeply—Photoshop, Figma, After Effects, or similar—and describe a real bug you found that required understanding both the tool's technical behavior and the designer's workflow to spot. Don't just list tools you're familiar with; hiring managers for this role are looking for evidence you can think like a power user and spot the friction that matters to professionals, not just functional crashes.
