Description

We are seeking a Quality Assurance Engineer who is curious, analytical, and passionate about delivering high-quality software. In this role, you will contribute throughout the development lifecycle—engaging in refinements, challenging requirements, and validating complex, data-driven scenarios. You will help elevate our QA standards, strengthen our processes, and contribute to continuous improvement across the team.

Essential Job Functions
  • Actively participate in refinements, requirement reviews, and planning sessions, identifying gaps, risks, and edge cases early.
  • Analyze system behavior, data flows, and integrations to determine testing needs, priorities, and effective test approaches.
  • Create, maintain, and execute test plans, test strategies, and test cases across software and hardware solutions.
  • Contribute to in-sprint automation by creating and maintaining automated tests that ensure new features are validated efficiently and consistently.
  • Perform functional, integration, regression, and data-focused testing across applications and services.
  • Test SOAP and REST APIs, validating JSON and XML responses.
  • Estimate testing effort, track defects, analyze results, and provide clear reporting to stakeholders.
  • Contribute to QA process improvements and help raise quality standards across the team.
  • Document test scenarios, results, and processes with clear and concise communication.
  • Participate in agile ceremonies including standups, retrospectives, and planning.
Qualifications
  • 3+ years of QA experience in an agile development environment.
  • Strong ability to analyze data sets, workflows, and system interactions to uncover issues and validate scenarios.
  • Demonstrated ability to challenge requirements and help teams clarify acceptance criteria.
  • Experience testing web-based or client/server applications.
  • UI automation experience with Playwright (Type Script/JavaScript) or Selenium (Java).
  • Hands‑on experience with either framework, with the ability to learn or adopt Playwright.
  • Familiarity with tools such as Selenium, JMeter, JUnit/TestNG, or Playwright Test.
  • Experience testing web services (REST/SOAP) and validating JSON/XML structures.
  • Proficiency with API testing tools such as Postman or SOAPUI.
  • Experience with Intelli

    J or VS Code.
  • Strong test planning, test case creation, and execution skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
  • Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and self‑directed.
  • Knowledge of TDD concepts; experience with CI/CD is a nice-to-have, not required.
  • Excellent written communication skills for documenting test results, defects, and technical details.
  • A collaborative, proactive mindset and passion for continuous improvement.
  • Cellphone or personal device to receive MFA (multi‑factor authentication) texts or calls.
  • Have an internet connection that’s adequate for their job, a minimum of 10

    Mbps down.
