QA Engineer
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior QA Engineer who not only brings strong technical expertise in test automation and quality assurance but also excels in communication, collaboration, and balancing priorities. This is a fast-paced team, and success in the role requires the ability to understand complex technical systems quickly, communicate effectively, and partner closely with senior and principal engineers.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in API testing, UI testing, and automation frameworks (Playwright preferred), but equally important is their ability to adapt under pressure, prioritize in a dynamic environment, and contribute to a culture of quality and teamwork.
Your Responsibilities
Quality Ownership: Drive testing efforts across web applications, APIs, and integrations, ensuring releases meet high standards.
Test Automation: Design, implement, and maintain automated test scripts with Playwright (and other tools where appropriate).
API Testing: Develop and execute tests for RESTful and GraphQL APIs, including validation of data integrity and error handling.
UI Testing: Validate front-end workflows and user experiences with attention to detail and usability.
Communication & Collaboration:
Clearly document test cases, results, and defects in a way that’s easy to understand.
Partner closely with senior and principal engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to align on requirements and priorities.
Present findings and risks with confidence in meetings, adapting communication style depending on the audience.
Prioritization: Balance competing demands and deadlines, ensuring critical paths are tested without losing sight of long-term quality goals.
Mentorship & Support: Share knowledge with junior QAs, contribute to process improvements, and foster cross-functional collaboration.
