Job description

Senior General QA Engineer

Location: Remote (Canada)

Engagement Type: B2B contractor

About Tie

Tie is building the next generation of identity resolution and marketing intelligence. Our

platform connects hundreds of millions of consumers across devices, browsers, and

channels-without relying on cookies-to power higher deliverability, smarter targeting,

and measurable revenue lift for modern marketing teams.

At Tie, AI is not a feature-it is a core execution advantage. We operate large-scale

identity graphs, real-time scoring systems, and production ML pipelines that directly

impact revenue, deliverability, and customer growth.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior General QA Engineer who enjoys owning product quality

end-to-end. This role combines manual exploratory testing, automation, release

validation, and close collaboration with engineering and product teams. While we

actively leverage AI tools and automation, the day-to-day work depends on business

priorities, so we're looking for someone who is equally comfortable with hands-on

manual testing and building automation where it adds the most value.

Technical Responsibilities

Review requirements, user stories, and design documents to create detailed and comprehensive test cases and checklists
Perform functional, integration, UI/UX, and regression testing across web, data, 3d party apps and/or API layers.
Test on multiple browsers, devices, and screen resolutions to ensure cross-platform consistency
Execute manual test cases and report issues with clear reproduction steps and severity levels
Verify fixes and perform retesting and smoke testing
Maintain test case repositories (e.g., TestRail, Zephyr, Xray, etc.)
Perform basic API testing using tools like Postman
Use developer tools (e.g., Chrome DevTools, browser console) to investigate issues
Track and manage bugs using tools like Jira
Support release validation in redesign, staging and production environments or any other required.
Collaborate with developers and product managers to ensure test coverage and align QA efforts with release goals
Collaborate with business, customer success to ensure the test coverage and align QA efforts with business goals.

Automation & AQA Responsibilities

Develop and maintain automated test suites for UI and API layers using frameworks like Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
Integrate test automation into the CI/CD pipeline to enable fast and reliable deployments
Prioritize what to automate based on risk, stability, and ROI, complementing manual testing
Validate data flows and transformation logic in data-driven applications by writing automated assertions against APIs and backend responses
Build reusable utilities and selectors to support robust and maintainable test scripts
Work closely with developers to ensure testability and coverage of edge cases
Use version control (e.g., Git) and test reporting tools (e.g., Allure, TestNG reports) to ensure traceability
Support debugging and root cause analysis by capturing logs, screenshots, and network traces during test execution
Maintain a hybrid approach, knowing when to use exploratory/manual testing alongside automation to uncover UI/UX or logic-related issues

Data-Driven Application Testing

Validate the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of data throughout the user journey
Perform data validation across frontend, backend, and database layers, including comparing displayed data with source systems or API responses
Ensure business rules and data logic are correctly applied (e.g., filters, transformations, aggregations)
Test the impact of edge cases and malformed data inputs on application behavior
Perform SQL-based verification (or through data exports) to confirm data correctness, where applicable
Validate data syncing between systems, especially in applications that consume or expose third-party data via APIs
Monitor how updates to records, entries, or data states reflect across the application (e.g., state transitions, user-based data visibility)

Non-Technical Responsibilities

Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives to represent QA priorities
Communicate bugs and quality concerns clearly to cross-functional teamsProactively raise red flags if requirements are unclear, incomplete, or inconsistent
Help define and improve QA processes, checklists, and acceptance criteria
Collaborate with product and design teams to ensure test scenarios reflect user expectations
Own the quality mindset for the features being delivered
Provide feedback on usability and suggest improvements from a user perspective
Maintain a clear audit trail of testing progress and coverage
Be a champion for documentation, keeping test plans and QA procedures up to date
Collaborate with QA Team Lead in providing feedbacks and reviews of QA strategies, processes, practices.

Working in Ambiguous and Fast-Paced Environments

Confidently test features with minimal or evolving specifications, using exploratory testing and product intuition to uncover edge cases
Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to clarify intent and co-create acceptance criteria when missing
Document findings, gaps, and assumptions clearly to reduce miscommunication and improve team alignment
Adapt quickly to frequent changes in priorities or scope, while ensuring quality is not compromised
Use structured approaches to test loosely defined features, such as session-based test charters or heuristic checklists
Maintain composure and clear prioritization even during high-pressure releases, rollbacks, or urgent hotfixes

Requirements

Technical

5+ years of manual testing experience for web applications
2+ years of automation testing experience(Playwright or Cypress must have(JS/TS))
Strong understanding of Agile methodologies, specifically Scrum and Kanban
Familiarity with bug tracking and test case management tools(QASE, Testomat, TestRail, etc.)
Experience testing REST APIs (even at a basic level)
Experience with Data verifications
Ability to test across various browsers and responsive breakpoints

As a plus:

Experience with AI in both automated tests and day2day work will be a plus(Claude.ai)

Detail-oriented mindset and strong analytical thinking
Clear and concise communicator in both written and verbal form, English.
Proactive communication cros-team
Comfortable working in fast-paced, changing environments
Ability to manage time and tasks independently
Proactive attitude and a sense of ownership for quality

Important: This is a General QA role. While automation is an important part of the job, the day-to-day work varies based on business priorities. Some sprints are automation-heavy, while others require more manual exploratory testing, release validation, production support, and close collaboration with engineering and product teams. We're looking for someone who enjoys both aspects of QA and is comfortable switching between them.

What We Offer

Opportunity to work on core AI systems that directly impact revenue and product differentiation
High ownership and autonomy in a senior, hands-on role
Remote-first culture with a strong engineering and data focus
Exposure to cutting-edge problems in identity resolution, graph ML, and real-time AI systems
Clear growth path toward Staff / Principal IC roles
