Quality Assurance Engineer

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 OwnTest 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.
