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 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

If you:

• Break things before users do
• Care about quality deeply
• Think through edge cases naturally

This role is a strong fit.
