About the Role

We are looking for an experienced QA Automation Specialist to work with one of our US clients, a company building modern, enterprise-grade web products used across multiple business functions. The platform supports sourcing and pricing, project management, customer lifecycle, financial management, and business process automation. This role is ideal for someone who is independent, a great communicator, a problem solver, and has strong attention to detail. Our jobs are fully remote; as long as you have the skills and can deliver quality work, you can work from anywhere in the listed countries.

Project Details

As a QA Automation Engineer, you’ll join a large-scale, long-term migration and modernization project—a full rebuild of the client’s existing platform using C#, DHTMLX, and Vue.js. The project is structured in 5 phases, currently in phases 3–4, meaning you’ll step into an active, fast-moving effort with a strong team already in place. The platform covers a wide range of business functions, including sourcing and pricing, purchasing, implementation and project management, customer lifecycle management, incident management, financial management, expense management, and business process automation. This is a highly impactful, long-term role.

You’ll work within a modern QA stack: Playwright for automation, Qase as the test case repository, and GitHub and Jira for pipeline and issue tracking. The CI pipeline is already defined, with a focus on execution, coverage, and quality outcomes. The role leans toward automation, with a 70/30 split between automation scripting and manual QA work.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain automated test scripts for functional, regression, and end-to-end testing using Playwright
• Convert repeatable manual test cases into automated tests to improve efficiency and coverage
• Execute automated test suites and review results to identify failures and defects
• Perform manual QA testing alongside automation work, maintaining a balanced approach as automation coverage scales
• Monitor automated test runs and report failures or inconsistencies in Qase
• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to clarify requirements and acceptance criteria
• Identify, document, and track defects in Jira with clear reproduction steps
• Support regression and release testing activities throughout the ongoing migration project
• Perform API and data validation to ensure accuracy and reliability
• Support CI pipeline execution of automated tests and contribute improvement ideas
• Document test cases, test procedures, and known issues in Qase
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives
• Stay current with testing tools and quality practices relevant to the team’s environment

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in software quality assurance or software testing, with at least 2 years in test automation
• Hands-on experience with Playwright (strongly preferred) or comparable tools such as Selenium or Cypress
• Proficiency in at least one scripting language; JavaScript is a strong plus given the team’s Vue.js stack
• Familiarity with C#, DHTMLX, and/or Vue.js to understand the applications under test (deep coding knowledge is not required)
• Experience with Qase or similar test management tools (e.g., Xray, Zephyr, TestRail)
• Experience working with Jira for defect tracking and GitHub for version control and pipeline integration
• Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, QA principles, and SDLC
• Ability to create thorough, effective test cases and identify edge cases and risk areas
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
• Experience working in Agile or iterative development environments
• Excellent verbal and written English communication skills; proactivity and clear communication are critical
• Self-motivated and able to work independently; this role requires someone who drives their own quality outcomes
• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• Relevant certifications, such as ISTQB, are a plus

Benefits

• Salary in USD
• 100% Remote work
