You will work in a remote team environment, working closely with mid and junior-level QA engineers, software engineers, and SRE to ensure we deliver secure, reliable, performant, and user-friendly features at a high velocity.

Responsibilities

Hands-on Testing & Automation

Design and execute test plans, test cases, and test scripts for new and existing features in a Drupal + Vue.js stack.

Develop and maintain automated test suites (UI, API, and integration tests) and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.

Perform exploratory testing to uncover edge cases and usability issues that automated tests might miss.

Collaboration & Requirements Quality

Collaborate with Product and Engineering to review requirements, UX designs, and technical specs for testability and clarity.

Collaborate with other internal QA engineers located in European time zones.

Participate in agile ceremonies (refinement, sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives) as the voice of quality.

Provide clear, actionable feedback on defects, risks, and release readiness.

Release Readiness & Production Quality

Define and monitor entry/exit criteria for releases; provide go/no-go recommendations.

Partner with SRE/Engineering on environment readiness, test data management, and release validation.

Mentor other QA engineers and developers on testing best practices and shift-left testing.

Participate in root-cause analysis for major incidents and drive preventive measures (e.g., new tests, improved processes).

Champion quality culture, encouraging ownership of quality across the entire team.

Qualifications

7+ years of professional experience in software quality assurance or software testing, with significant experience in web-based SaaS products.

Hands-on experience with generative AI such as Claude Code for automated tests, workflows, and other automations

Strong understanding of SDLC, agile methodologies, and shift-left testing concepts.

Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, including the ability to clearly articulate risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Experience working with bug/issue tracking and documentation tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence).

Preferred/Additional Skills

Experience in a SaaS environment with frequent, incremental releases.

Personal Attributes

Ownership mindset: you see quality as a product, not just a phase.

Strategic and analytical: you approach complex problems with a structured, data-driven mindset to uncover risks and improve testing effectiveness.

Curious and proactive: you seek out edge cases and risks rather than waiting for them to appear.

Collaborative: comfortable partnering with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders.

Pragmatic: able to balance thoroughness with speed, and automation with smart manual testing.

Empathetic to users: you advocate for the end-user experience in every release.

What We Offer
