Position Type: Full-Time, Remote

Read the full description
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.
