QA Engineer
AI Summary
QA Engineer responsible for manual exploratory, regression, and acceptance testing of desktop and web applications. Owns test cases, defect reporting, and collaboration with developers in a hybrid Cincinnati-based team.
About this role
Four days remote. Wednesdays in Cincinnati. $70,000–$85,000 base salary plus four weeks PTO.
Build your QA career at an established software company entering a new phase of private-equity-backed growth. Join a small team, learn from an experienced QA lead, and take visible ownership of software quality—with room to grow toward senior QA responsibility as your skills and impact develop.
This is a full-time, permanent, manual-testing-focused role spanning Windows desktop/client-server and browser-based applications—not a pure automation or SDET position.
Why This Opportunity
- True hybrid flexibility: four remote days and one collaborative day in the Cincinnati office each week.
- A great fit for candidates in the commutable Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana tri-state area.
- $70,000–$85,000 annual base salary and four weeks of paid time off.
- The stability of an established product business, with new investment, learning opportunities, and growing QA ownership.
What You Will Do
- Own exploratory, regression, and acceptance testing across desktop and web applications.
- Turn user stories and acceptance criteria into practical test cases, including edge cases and real user workflows.
- Write clear defect reports with reproducible steps, expected versus actual behavior, and supporting evidence; partner with developers to retest fixes.
- Keep test documentation useful and current, participate in sprint delivery, and improve coverage and release confidence.
What Matters Most
- Meaningful hands-on software testing experience and examples of your own testing or defect-validation work.
- Clear test cases, actionable bug reports, and productive collaboration with developers.
- Experience with desktop, browser-based, or similarly complex software—and interest in building deeper QA expertise.
- Ability to attend the Cincinnati office on Wednesdays.
Transferable backgrounds welcome. You do not need a particular degree, exact title, industry, or rigid number of years. Engineering, technical support, implementation, and analyst experience can translate well when it includes real testing ownership.
