Each of our 100+ offices has its own individual identity, and each also has its own unique rewards.\n0-2 Years Experience | Automation a Plus\nWho We Are\nTransPerfect is the world's largest provider of language services and technology solutions for global business. From offices in over 160 cities on six continents, TransPerfect offers a full range of services in 170+ languages to clients worldwide. More than 6,000 global organizations employ TransPerfect's GlobalLink® technology to simplify management of multilingual content. TransPerfect has global headquarters in New York, with regional headquarters in London and Hong Kong.\nWhat We're Building\nWe're a small team inside TransPerfect building a massive internal platform a low-code application builder that's powering how our entire company operates. It's ambitious, it's complex, and it's not \"done.\" That's exactly why it's fun.\nThink:\nNot just a bug-logging role\nYou'll shape quality standards and help build testing infrastructure from the ground up\nComplex, data-driven interfaces that need thorough, thoughtful QA\nEnterprise-scale impact… without enterprise-level red tape\nWe operate more like a startup embedded inside a global company. We move fast, figure things out as we go, and need people who are excited to make sure what we build actually works-reliably, at scale, every time.\nWhat You'll Actually Be Doing\nYou won't just find bugs. You'll help define what \"quality\" means for this platform.\nWrite, execute, and maintain manual and automated test cases for a drag-and-drop application builder\nIdentify, document, and track bugs with clear, reproducible steps\nCollaborate closely with frontend engineers to catch issues early in the dev cycle\nHelp build out regression test suites as features evolve\nContribute to QA processes and documentation that grow with the team\nParticipate in sprint planning and review to understand what's being shipped and what needs coverage\nThe Kind of QA Engineer This Role Needs\nWe're not looking for someone who just runs a checklist and closes tickets.\nWe're looking for someone who:\nAsks \"what could go wrong here?\" before a feature ships\nIs comfortable when specs are incomplete or evolving\nCan think from the user's perspective, not just the test plan\nTakes ownership of quality\nCommunicates clearly with engineers, not just in Jira\nWants a career in quality engineering, not just a job\nIf you've worked somewhere perfectly structured with locked-down processes: this will feel different. If you've ever found a bug no one else caught and felt genuinely good about it: you'll fit right in.\nCore Technical Skills\nWe don't expect you to know everything on day one. You should have a solid foundation in:\nQA Fundamentals\nUnderstanding of the software developer lifecycle (SDLC) and QA methodologies\nExperience writing test cases, test plans, and bug reports\nFamiliarity with functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing\nComfort working in Agile/Scrum environments\nTools & Platforms\nBug tracking tools: Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar\nBasic understanding of browser developer tools for frontend debugging\nFamiliarity with API testing concepts (Postman or similar is a plus)\nAutomation (Preferred, Not Required)\nExposure to test automation frameworks: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar\nBasic scripting ability in JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python\nUnderstanding of CI/CD pipelines and how automated tests fit in\nA Design Mindset\nWe need QA engineers who care about UX, not just pass/fail.\nYou notice when something works technically but feels broken to a user\nYou think about edge cases that live in the gap between spec and reality\nYou can communicate UX observations clearly to engineers and PMs\nWhat It's Like Working Here\nLet's be real:\nWe're building something big with a small team\nThe structure isn't perfect\nPriorities can shift\nWe're figuring some things out as we go\nBut also:\nYou'll have real ownership over quality-not just a slice of a ticket queue\nYour findings will actually change what ships\nYou won't be stuck running the same regression suite forever\nYou'll help define how QA evolves on this platform\nWhy This Role Is Worth It\nIf you're looking for:\nA highly structured, perfectly documented test environment → this isn't it\nA chance to build quality practices from the ground up → this is it\nReal ownership at the start of your QA career → this is it\nThis is a role for someone who wants to:\nBuild, not just execute\nInfluence what ships, not just report what broke\nGrow into a QA engineer who understands the whole product\nThe Basics\nBachelor's degree or equivalent experience (Computer Science, IT, or related field preferred)\n0-2 years of QA or software testing experience (internship or project work counts)\nStrong attention to detail and analytical thinking\nClear written communication, you'll be writing a lot of bug reports\nAI can be a useful tool, but our engineers are expected to function without it\nWhere Your Career Is Going\nAt TransPerfect, there are real growth opportunities. We encourage continuous dialogue with management about your path whether that's deepening your automation expertise, moving into SDET work, or growing into a QA lead role. All of that is on the table.\nWhy TransPerfect\nFor more than 25 years, we've built a culture where ideas are shared and new ventures are welcomed. From Intern to President, every employee should have a voice. We offer comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401k matching, child-care provider membership, and other TransPerks.
