You’ll work closely with engineering and product teams throughout the software development lifecycle to identify issues early and prevent critical defects from reaching users.\nYou’ll own quality across new features, integrations, bug fixes, and releases while helping improve testing processes and automation coverage over time.\nIf you naturally look for edge cases, care deeply about software quality, and enjoy preventing problems before they reach production, this role is a strong fit.\nWhat You’ll Own\nTest Planning & Coverage\nDevelop comprehensive test plans, test cases, and acceptance criteria\nReview requirements and user stories with product managers and developers\nDefine appropriate test coverage across:\nNew features\nIntegrations\nRegression scenarios\nUser workflows\nTranslate product requirements into structured testing scenarios\nIdentify potential risks and edge cases early in the development lifecycle\nEnsure critical workflows receive sufficient testing before release\nManual & Regression Testing\nExecute:\nFunctional testing\nRegression testing\nUI/UX testing\nCross-browser testing\nCross-device testing\nValidate new features and bug fixes before production release\nIdentify unexpected behaviors, functional issues, and usability problems\nLog defects using:\nJira\nAzure DevOps\nSimilar bug-tracking platforms\nWrite clear bug reports including:\nReproduction steps\nExpected behavior\nActual results\nSupporting evidence\nRetest fixes and verify impacted functionality\nRun regression testing before major releases\nAutomation Testing\nBuild and maintain automated test suites using:\nSelenium\nCypress\nPlaywright\nIdentify high-value and repeatable test cases for automation\nImprove automation coverage over time\nIntegrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using:\nGitHub Actions\nJenkins\nGitLab CI\nMonitor automated test runs\nInvestigate and troubleshoot failed automated tests\nImprove the reliability and maintainability of automated test suites\nAPI, Performance & Security Testing\nConduct load and stress testing using tools such as:\nApache JMeter\nLocust\nTest APIs using:\nPostman\nRestAssured\nValidate API responses, integrations, and expected behaviors\nIdentify performance bottlenecks and reliability issues\nSupport vulnerability testing and remediation efforts where required\nHelp ensure applications meet expected performance and security standards\nDefect Management & Release Validation\nIdentify, document, prioritize, and track defects through resolution\nCollaborate with developers to reproduce and isolate issues\nRetest resolved defects before closure\nAssess the impact of fixes on related functionality\nHighlight unresolved issues and release risks before deployment\nSupport final release validation to ensure critical workflows are production-ready\nDocumentation & Quality Reporting\nMaintain accurate:\nTest plans\nTest cases\nTest results\nDefect documentation\nTrack quality metrics including:\nDefect density\nTest coverage\nPass/fail rates\nRegression results\nPrepare clear quality reports for engineering, product, and leadership stakeholders\nMaintain visibility into testing progress and outstanding issues\nClearly communicate release risks before deployment\nEngineering & Product Collaboration\nWork closely with developers to reproduce, isolate, and resolve defects\nParticipate in:\nSprint planning\nDaily standups\nRetrospectives\nRelease discussions\nReview requirements for clarity and testability\nProvide feedback on product usability and quality\nAdvocate for quality throughout the software development lifecycle\nRequirements\n 2+ years of QA or software testing experience\nHands-on experience with manual and regression testing\nExperience with test management and bug-tracking tools such as:\nJira\nTestRail\nZephyr\nFamiliarity with automation frameworks including:\nSelenium\nCypress\nPlaywright\nStrong understanding of:\nSoftware Development Life Cycle (SDLC)\nAgile methodologies\nFunctional testing\nRegression testing\nAbility to create structured test plans and test cases\nAbility to write clear and reproducible defect reports\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills\nExcellent documentation and communication skills\nAbility to collaborate effectively with engineering and product teams\nAbility to work independently in a remote environment\nAvailability during U.S. client business hours, with flexibility around releases, sprint deadlines, and testing windows\nNice to Have\nExperience testing:\nSaaS applications\nFinance software\nHealthcare software\nEnterprise software\nAPI testing experience with:\nPostman\nRestAssured\nExperience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines\nExperience with:\nGitHub Actions\nJenkins\nGitLab CI\nExposure to:\nPerformance testing\nSecurity testing\nCompliance-heavy software environments\nExperience with Apache JMeter or Locust\nTools & Technology\nJira | TestRail | Zephyr | Azure DevOps | Selenium | Cypress | Playwright | Postman | RestAssured | Apache JMeter | Locust | GitHub Actions | Jenkins | GitLab CI\nWhat Makes You a Strong Fit\nYou’ll likely thrive in this role if you:\nNaturally catch edge cases others may overlook\nWrite clear, structured, and reproducible bug reports\nBalance thorough testing with fast development cycles\nThink proactively about risks rather than waiting for problems to appear\nUnderstand when manual testing versus automation provides the most value\nCommunicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders\nAre comfortable challenging assumptions when requirements or expected behavior are unclear\nTake ownership of product quality from development through release\nCare about preventing defects rather than simply finding them after the fact\nWhat a Typical Day Looks Like\nYou may start your day by reviewing new requirements and user stories to identify test scenarios, dependencies, and potential edge cases.\nThroughout the day, you could write and update test cases, manually test new features, run regression suites, execute automated tests, test APIs, and document bugs.\nYou’ll collaborate with developers to reproduce and resolve issues, retest fixes, review results from new builds, and maintain test documentation.\nAs a release approaches, you’ll help validate critical workflows and communicate outstanding defects or risks to engineering and product stakeholders.\nIn short: you serve as a critical quality gate before release, helping ensure users receive a stable, reliable, and thoroughly tested product.\nKey Metrics for Success\nHigh defect detection rate before production\nStrong regression test coverage\nIncreasing automation coverage\nFast bug verification and resolution cycles\nLow number of critical production defects\nReliable automated test execution\nHigh percentage of releases deployed without severe issues\nAccurate and complete test documentation\nTimely identification of release risks\nStrong stakeholder confidence in product quality\nWhy This Role Stands Out\nDirect impact on product and release quality\nHands-on exposure to both manual and automated testing\nOpportunity to work with Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, API testing, and CI/CD\nClose collaboration with product and engineering teams\nOpportunity to improve testing processes and automation coverage\nExposure across the complete software development lifecycle\nFully remote working environment\nCareer growth opportunities into:\nSenior QA Engineer\nQA Automation Engineer\nQA Lead\nSoftware Development
