Quality Assurance Engineer

Remitian is looking for a high-agency QA Engineer to help us build quality into the software that moves money and tax data for our customers. We process payments to tax authorities on a daily schedule, which means a defect that reaches production is not an inconvenience, it is a missed payment, a compliance exposure, and a loss of customer trust.

This is a Quality Engineering role, not a manual testing seat. Automation is our default: you will write and own Playwright test suites, build API automation, and treat every escaped defect as a signal to improve the process rather than just a bug to reproduce. Manual and exploratory testing still matter, and you will do both, but the goal is always to encode what you learn into something repeatable.

You will embed with product engineering squads as their quality partner, joining refinement and sprint planning so that testability and risk are discussed before code is written rather than after. You will also own release verification for the work you cover, which means your sign-off is a real gate.

This role is based in either our Ottawa, Ontario office or in Florida, with Miami preferred, on a hybrid schedule of 3 to 4 days per week in office.

• Review stories and acceptance criteria before development begins, raising testability gaps, risks, and automation opportunities
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospectives
• Validate features against acceptance criteria and run risk-based exploratory testing to find what the criteria missed
• Reproduce, verify, and close the loop on bugs, including validating fixes and checking for regressions

• Write and maintain UI automation in Playwright, expanding both the sanity and regression suites
• Build and maintain API automation covering internal and public endpoints, including functional tests, contract validation, authentication, and error handling
• Follow and improve framework patterns such as page object models and shared utilities, keeping tests readable and maintainable
• Automate new functionality within the same development cycle wherever practical
• Hunt down flaky tests and fix the root cause rather than retrying around it
• Participate in automation code reviews and help raise the standard of the suite over time

• Execute sanity and regression cycles for releases, and give a clear, evidence-based quality assessment
• Verify releases after deployment, confirming that critical workflows behave correctly in production
• Help define and enforce the quality gates a release has to clear before it ships
• Escalate risk clearly and early when a release is not ready, with the evidence to back it up

• Maintain test environments, test accounts, and the test data that automation depends on
• Keep automation running reliably in CI and keep results easy for engineers to read and act on
• Improve reporting so that a failing suite tells the team what broke and where, not just that something broke
• Track and act on quality signals such as automation coverage, pass rates, defect escape rate, and test stability
• Turn every production defect into a concrete improvement: new automation, better monitoring, clearer requirements, or a process change
• Contribute to quality standards, testing documentation, and onboarding material
• Push back, raise concerns, and surface ideas that improve quality or how the team works

• Two to five years of experience in QA, quality engineering, test automation, or a similar role
• Hands-on experience writing automated tests, ideally with deally using Playwright with Typescript
• Practical experience testing REST APIs, including authentication flows, request and response…
