What You'll Do

As a QA Engineer at LYNKED, you will be a key guardian of quality across our IoT platform, cloud services, and smart metering ecosystem. Working closely with our development team, you will:

• Design, develop, and execute manual and automated test plans, test cases, and test scripts across our web applications, APIs, and backend services
• Build and maintain automated test suites using modern testing frameworks and AI-assisted tooling to improve coverage and reduce regression cycles
• Perform functional, integration, regression, performance, and exploratory testing across the LYNKED platform and its connected IoT infrastructure
• Collaborate closely with developers, embedded systems engineers, and cloud teams to understand system behaviour and define acceptance criteria
• Identify, document, and track defects clearly and concisely, working with developers to ensure timely resolution
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines by integrating automated tests and quality gates into the development workflow
• Validate data integrity across device communication, data acquisition pipelines, and reporting outputs
• Leverage AI tools, including agentic workflows, to accelerate test generation, coverage analysis, and defect triage
• Participate in sprint planning and review sessions, advocating for quality throughout the development lifecycle
• Help define and improve internal QA processes, documentation standards, and testing best practices

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years of professional QA or software testing experience
• Solid experience with both manual and automated testing methodologies
• Experience testing REST APIs using tools such as Postman, Insomnia, or automated API test frameworks
• Familiarity with SQL and the ability to query databases to validate data correctness
• Experience working within CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) and integrating automated tests into build workflows
• Familiarity with Docker for containerized test environments and comfort working within a Linux platform is ideal
• Hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted development and testing tools such as Claude Code; familiarity with using LLMs to generate test cases, scripts, or triage defects is a strong asset
• Understanding of IoT systems, device communication, or distributed architectures is an asset
• Experience with cloud environments, particularly AWS, is considered an advantage
• Strong analytical thinking with a detail‑oriented, systematic approach to finding and communicating issues
• A collaborative mindset with clear written and verbal communication skills
• Someone who thrives in a fast‑moving, build‑as‑you‑go environment and takes ownership of quality outcomes

What We Offer

• Health & Dental Benefits: Company paid comprehensive health, dental, critical illness & life insurance
• Professional Development: Tuition reimbursement and opportunities for continuous learning
• Retirement Savings Program: Company-matched Group RRSP with employer contributions through a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP)
