BIS Safety Software is a SaaS company on a mission to change how organizations manage safety, learning, and compliance - and the team behind that mission matters just as much as the product. We are expanding our team and are looking to add a thoughtful, detail-oriented Software Tester who is passionate about software quality and enjoys blending both manual and automated testing.
About the role:
This role is a key part of our evolution from primarily manual testing toward a more automation-focused QA process. You’ll play a hands-on role in ensuring the quality of our releases-owning manual testing for new features while actively contributing to our growing automation framework.
You’ll work closely with developers and the QA team to understand product workflows, uncover edge cases, and help us continuously improve how we test. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into the details but is also excited to build toward a more scalable, automated future.
This is an onsite role based out of our Sherwood Park, Alberta office.
In this role, you'll be expected to:
Execute manual test cases for new features, releases, and regression cycles
Help drive the transition to automation by converting manual test cases into automated script
Create and maintain clear, structured test plans and test scenarios
Identify, document, and track defects with strong attention to detail
Collaborate closely with developers to reproduce, troubleshoot, and resolve issues
Write and maintain automated tests and update existing scripts as needed
Participate in improving QA processes, testing coverage, and documentation
Prepare and manage test data to support testing activities
Leverage tools and emerging technologies (including AI) to enhance QA workflows
You might be the right fit if you:
Are highly detail-oriented and naturally curious when exploring systems
Enjoy both manual testing and building toward automation
Think critically and can identify edge cases others might miss
Are proactive in clarifying requirements and understanding product workflows
Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical team members
Take ownership of your work and follow through to completion
Thrive in a collaborative, fast-changing environment
Are tech-savvy and enjoy learning new tools and frameworks
Approach problems thoughtfully and methodically
Qualifications:
3+ years of experience in software testing
Strong foundation in manual testing (test case design, regression, exploratory testing)
Hands-on experience with test automation (Playwright preferred; Cypress/Selenium acceptable)
Experience with JavaScript or TypeScript for automation scripting
Familiarity with test case management tools (e.g., TestRail)
Experience with bug tracking systems (e.g., Jira, Redmine)
Comfortable using browser debugging tools and version control (Git)
Exposure to API testing and CI/CD testing workflows
Strong documentation and defect reporting skills
Bonus points if you have:
Experience working in a SaaS or software product environment
Experience helping teams transition from manual to automated testing
Exposure to modern QA practices like shift-left testing
Computer Science or related education (or equivalent experience)
Compensation and Benefits:
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
Life insurance and disability insurance
Health spending account
Flexible working hours
On-the-job training and growth opportunities
Free on-site parking
