QA Automation Engineer

Job Description

Location:

e123 is a Work From Anywhere company based in southern California with an entirely remote workforce from all over the US. This role can be based anywhere in the US (with the exception of IN, IL, PA, NE).

The QA Automation Engineer is a role on our engineering team focused on test strategy and automation for web applications and REST APIs. You will design, build, and maintain automated test suites; define test strategy across unit, integration, E2E, and API testing; and advocate for quality across the SDLC. You will work alongside product and engineering in an agile workflow, integrate tests into CI/CD, and collaborate with developers on testability, API contracts, and acceptance criteria.

Our team uses feature branches and pull requests with code review for all changes, including tests and documentation. Documentation and runbooks live in the repo so specs and test strategy stay easy to find and update.

• Experience with Postman (collections, environments, CI integration) and/or code-based API tests
• Familiarity with OpenAPI and spec-driven or contract testing
