Job Description


Quality Assurance Engineer (Manual + Automation | SaaS) ? Remote Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours (flexible for releases & sprints)

About the Role We're hiring a Quality Assurance Engineer (QA Tester) to ensure software is fully tested, reliable, and production-ready before release. This role blends:

  • Manual testing
  • Automation
  • Defect tracking
  • Collaboration with engineering
You will act as the final quality gate ? catching issues before users ever see them. If you?re someone who:
  • Finds edge cases others miss
  • Writes clean, structured test cases
  • Cares about product quality
This role fits you well.

What You'll Own Test Planning & Coverage

  • Design test plans, test cases, and acceptance criteria
  • Define test coverage across:
    • Features
    • Integrations
    • Regression flows
  • Collaborate with product & engineering teams to align on requirements

Manual Testing (Core)
  • Execute:
    • Functional testing
    • Regression testing
    • UI/UX validation
    • Cross-browser & cross-device testing
  • Log bugs in:
    • Jira
    • Azure DevOps
  • Provide:
    • Clear reproduction steps
    • Screenshots/videos
  • Retest fixes and validate impacted areas
Automation Testing
  • Build and maintain test scripts using:
    • Selenium
    • Cypress
    • Playwright
  • Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines:
    • GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI
  • Monitor failures and debug issues
Performance & API Testing
  • Conduct load/stress testing using:
    • Apache JMeter
    • Locust
  • Test APIs using:
    • Postman
  • Support security testing and vulnerability checks
Documentation & Reporting
  • Maintain:
    • Test cases
    • Test plans
    • Test results
  • Track quality metrics:
    • Defect density
    • Coverage
    • Pass/fail rates
  • Report insights and risks to stakeholders
Collaboration (Critical)
  • Work closely with developers to:
    • Reproduce bugs
    • Identify root causes
  • Participate in:
    • Sprint planning
    • Standups
    • Retrospectives
  • Advocate for quality across the SDLC
What Makes You a Strong Fit
  • You catch edge cases others miss
  • You write clear, structured test cases
  • You balance speed with thoroughness
  • You communicate issues clearly to developers
  • You take ownership of product quality
Required Experience & Skills
  • 2+ years in QA / software testing
  • Experience with:
    • Jira or similar tools
    • Test management tools (TestRail, Zephyr)
  • Familiarity with:
    • Selenium / Cypress / Playwright
  • Strong understanding of:
    • SDLC
    • Agile workflows
    Nice to Have (Top Candidates)
    • Experience in:
      • SaaS / enterprise products
    • API testing experience (Postman, RestAssured)
    • CI/CD integration exposure
    • Security or compliance-heavy environments
    What a Typical Day Looks Like
    • Review requirements and write test cases
    • Execute manual and automated tests
    • Log and track bugs with clear documentation
    • Collaborate with developers on fixes
    • Validate builds and regression results
    • Report quality metrics and risks

    In short: You ensure nothing broken reaches production.

    Key Metrics (KPIs)
    • Defects caught before release
    • Regression test coverage
    • Bug resolution turnaround time
    • Release quality (low critical defects in production)
    • Stakeholder confidence in product quality
    Why This Role Stands Out
    • Direct impact on product quality
    • Exposure to both manual + automation testing
    • Strong collaboration with engineering teams
    • Growth into:
      • Senior QA Engineer
      • Automation Engineer
      • QA Lead

      Apply Now If you:

      • Break things before users do
      • Care about quality deeply
      • Think through edge cases naturally
      This role is a strong fit.
