The Role

We are looking for a Software QA Engineer to join our fast-paced agile development team. You will drive quality across both internal products and client-facing applications.

• Modernize Workflows: Leverage modern testing methods and AI-assisted tools to boost efficiency and bug discovery.
• Own Releases: Manage test environments, test data, release processes, and software merges.
• Agile Execution: Active participation in standups, retrospectives, and 3-Amigos sessions.

What We’re Looking For

• Core QA Experience: Proven background in an agile software development setup.
• Test Automation: Hands‑on experience with automation frameworks (Playwright, Selenium).
• API & DB Proficiency: Strong background with API testing (Insomnia/Postman, OpenAPI/Swagger) and querying SQL databases.
• Diagnostic Mindset: A natural knack for breaking systems, debugging (DevTools), and filing clear, actionable bug reports.
• Tech Fundamentals: Exposure to cloud environments (Azure), version control (Git), performance testing (JMeter), and OS scripting (Windows/Unix).
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written English for client and team collaboration.

Nice to Have

• Experience or curiosity with AI‑assisted dev/test tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or AI‑driven test frameworks).

Why Join Us?

• Career Growth: Dedicated support to expand your automation, cloud, and DevOps skills.
• Great Culture: Collaborative, transparent, and built on continuous learning.
