Quality Assurance Engineer (Manual + Automation | SaaS) – Remote

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours (flexible for releases & sprints)

About the Role

We’re hiring a Quality Assurance Engineer (QA Tester) to ensure software is fully tested, reliable, and production-ready before release.

This role blends:

  • Manual testing
  • Automation
  • Defect tracking
  • Collaboration with engineering

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 OwnTest 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.
