Through giving, volunteering, grantmaking, employee resource groups and micro-actions, we help most of the Fortune 100 brands build better cultures and use their power for good. We're also one of the first B Corporations in Canada, meaning we're as committed to purpose as we are to profits. We have people working all over the world, including Canada, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, the United States and more!

Benevity is seeking a Software QA Engineer to join our growing team. In this role, you\'ll play a critical part in driving quality across our platform by combining your expertise in manual testing with a passion for scalable automation.

You\'ll take ownership of both executing manual test strategies and developing robust, maintainable automated test scripts. Your work will be tightly integrated into our CI/CD pipelines, helping us deliver high-performing, reliable, and scalable solutions to our users.

As a quality advocate, you\'ll collaborate closely with developers and fellow QA professionals to expand test coverage, streamline testing workflows, and identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Your ability to uncover issues through hands-on exploration and automation will directly enhance the user experience and ensure the integrity of our platform.

What you\'ll do:

• Create detailed test plans and design comprehensive, well-structured test cases to ensure alignment with product goals
• Execute manual test cases (e.g., exploratory, regression, functional) to identify and document software defects
• Design, write, and maintain automated test scripts to ensure comprehensive test coverage
• Collaborate with developers and DevOps to integrate automated tests into the build and CI/CD pipelines
• Create and present detailed test reports on quality and automation metrics, providing clear insights into product health
• Track and report key quality metrics
• Drive improvements in testing processes, tooling, and efficiency

What you\'ll bring:

• Bachelor\'s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field
• 4+ years of experience in a software quality assurance role
• Proven experience with both manual and automated testing
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Java, JavaScript and PHP
• Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright) and AP| testing tools (e.g., Postman)
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (GitLab, Jenkins)
• Strong analytical and debugging skills
• Enthusiastic about learning and applying new technologies like Al/GenAl testing approaches
