**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Candidate Sourcing

## 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

### **Nice to Have (Top Candidates)**

-   Experience in:

-   SaaS / enterprise products

-   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.
