How you'll make an impact:

The Senior QA Engineer is responsible for defining and executing the quality strategy within a cross-functional team. This role moves beyond simple execution to serve as a functional lead — determining methods for testing complex systems, designing and integrating modern test automation (including AI-assisted tooling), improving internal policies, and mentoring the team to ensure high-quality software delivery and a superior user experience.

This is a hands-on technical role embedded in an Agile/Scrum environment, working closely with product managers, developers, and DevOps teams across the full SDLC. You will be a quality advocate who drives standards, owns risk, and enables others.

What you'll do:

  • Own end-to-end testing for complex features, from strategy through execution, with minimal oversight
  • Design and evolve test strategies, frameworks, and methodologies across web, API, and data workflows
  • Build and maintain scalable automated test frameworks, and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines
  • Improve quality practices by refining QA processes, tooling, and documentation
  • Perform and guide manual testing (functional, regression, exploratory) where automation isn’t sufficient
  • Lead risk assessment and quality decision-making throughout the development lifecycle
  • Execute performance, load, and basic security testing to ensure system reliability
  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate test creation, execution, and coverage
  • Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and design in planning and release readiness
  • Mentor and support team members, raising overall quality standards and capability

    • What you'll bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
  • 5–7 years of QA experience, with growth into test strategy and process improvement
  • Experience in SaaS environments, ideally with complex, data-heavy systems (e.g. inventory, ERP, fintech)
  • Strong automation experience (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright) and CI/CD integration
  • Solid understanding of API testing, microservices, and distributed systems
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum or DevOps environments
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Deep knowledge of testing practices across manual and automated approaches
  • Strong exploratory and risk-based testing skills for complex applications
  • A proactive quality mindset, influencing design decisions and reducing technical debt
  • Curiosity for new tools and trends, including AI-assisted testing
  • A collaborative, adaptable approach with a passion for mentoring and team growth
