Senior QA Engineer

About MAGIC AI

MAGIC AIis an elegant in-home health coach that utilises computer vision, connected weights, and 3D cameras to provide personalised training sessions led by world-renowned athletes. We have gained recognition and exposure, being stocked in Selfridges, featured on Good Morning Britain, and listed as one of Fast Company's World's Most Innovative Companies of 2024. With just a small team, our company achieved a substantial revenue rate during its first financial year.

MAGIC AI is the pioneer in offering users the opportunity to perform exercises in front of an intelligent hologram mirror. Our cutting-edge proprietary computer vision software enables real-time form correction, rep counting, and live feedback, resulting in a fully customised workout experience. We have also collaborated with top athletes to create exclusive workout content, revolutionising the way users can be trained in sports, strength training, yoga, dance, and more. With us, individuals can benefit from personalised tracking and feedback, as if being privately coached and corrected by the world's best, without the hefty fees typically associated with personal training.

We have secured venture capital funding from prominent multi-billion-dollar VC funds, who have also invested in well-known companies such as Grover, Scalapay, Onfido, as well as notable founders and angels from Spotify, Stripe, Facebook, Hopin, and Tough Mudder.
