Job description

We are seeking a Junior QA Engineer(preferrable mandarin speaker) to join our small, agile team. You will be the gatekeeper for our multi-tenant SaaS platform, ensuring that every release to our admin panel and customer portal is rock-solid.

This is a mindset-first role. We aren't looking for decades of experience; we are looking for a natural skeptic who loves breaking software to make it better. If you have the hunger to figure things out without being hand-held and the proactiveness to own your tasks, you will thrive here.

Key Responsibilities

• Release Assurance: Execute end-to-end manual testing (smoke and regression) before releases to catch issues before our customers do.
• Bug Lifecycle Ownership: Don't just log bugs—reproduce them, verify fixes, and provide the "evidence-backed" documentation (screenshots, logs, reproduction steps) that developers actually need to solve them.
• Test Case Evolution: Build and maintain our test library (Qase/TestRail). We want meaningful test coverage, not just repetitive checklist completion.
• Cross-Surface Testing: Ensure that configurations made in the admin panel propagate perfectly to the customer-facing portal
• Knowledge Contribution: Build our "tribal knowledge" by documenting flows, edge cases, and dependencies in Confluence.
• Automation Growth: As you master the platform, you will transition into contributing to our Playwright/API automation pipeline.

Requirements Required Skills and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering,IT or a related field (or a portfolio that proves your technical capability ).
• Experience Level: 0–2 years in software testing (internships, side projects, or self-taught) .
• Problem-Solving: You see a bug and your first instinct is to investigate why it happened, not just report it.
• Proactivity: You are self-directed. If you hit a wall, you research, ask, and push through.
• Communication: You can write clear, concise bug reports. You are comfortable asking questions and receiving feedback.

Desirable Experience (Nice to Have)

• Experience with SaaS admin/back-office layers.
• Testing: Familiarity with Postman (API testing) or Playwright/Cypress (automation).
• Language: English and Mandarin is compulsory in written and verbal for Southeast Asia project purposes to deal with Taiwan and China clients.

Core Technology Stack

• Automation: Playwright / Cypress / Postman
