Chicago-based, remote-first, founder-led
Two QA engineers who got tired of watching bugs ship
GoGreenlit started as a conversation between two QA engineers who had each spent nearly a decade watching the same problem play out: startups either bolt testing onto the end of a sprint, or pay enterprise prices for QA maturity they do not need yet. We started GoGreenlit to be the option in between.
Where GoGreenlit came from
Muhammad and Mohammad met working as embedded QA engineers on separate teams, watching the same story repeat. Quality either got treated as an afterthought, squeezed into the last two days of a sprint, or it got the full enterprise treatment: dedicated QA departments and process maturity most ten-person startups do not have the headcount or the budget for.
Neither extreme fit the teams they had actually worked with. So they started GoGreenlit: embedded QA and automation, priced and structured for a team that is shipping fast, not one that has already scaled past the problem.
The founders
Meet the founders
Two people, no account managers in between, and a founder on every engagement.
Muhammad Ali
Co-Founder and QA Manager
Nine years building and managing QA processes across fintech, SaaS, and e-commerce teams. The one who designs the process before anyone touches a test case, and joins your planning meetings to make sure it stays that way.
LinkedInMohammad Khan
Co-Founder and Lead Automation QA Engineer
Builds automation suites in Playwright and Selenium that live inside your CI pipeline, not next to it. If a bad build gets blocked before it merges, this is usually why.

Years combined QA experience
“We did not want to build a testing factory. We wanted to be the QA engineer a startup cannot afford to hire yet, but still needs.”
How we work
What makes us different
- 01
We are not a testing factory. We do not execute a checklist and hand back a pass or fail report.
- 02
Quality is cross-functional. It does not live in a QA silo, it lives in planning, in code review, in the retro.
- 03
Shift left, always. A defect caught in planning costs a conversation. A defect caught in production costs a weekend.
- 04
We are staying small on purpose. Every engagement still has a founder's attention on it.
Based in Chicago, built for remote
GoGreenlit is headquartered in Chicago, but the work happens wherever your team is. Engagements run distributed by default: video standups, async updates, and the tools your team already uses, not an office requirement dressed up as culture.
