Job summary

Rightsline is seeking a Senior QA Engineer to join our Quality & Experience team in Toronto on a hybrid basis, owning test strategy and driving quality across our platform. You will work closely with Engineering, Product, and QA to ensure reliable releases and scalable testing practices.

Applicants should have 5+ years of QA automation experience, proficiency with REST/API testing using Postman, and hands-on experience with modern automation tools like Playwright or Cypress.

Qualifications

• Ownership of the software testing life cycle (STLC) end to end.
• Seasoned experience with load and performance testing tools such as JMeter and BlazeMeter.
• High proficiency with Git version control.
• Proven experience testing as part of an Agile/Scrum team, partnering with engineers to shape testing strategy throughout the sprint.
• 5+ years of QA automation experience, having owned the software testing life cycle (STLC) end to end.
• Expertise designing, building, and debugging automated test suites, with 5+ years testing REST/API services using Postman.
• 5+ years writing, executing, and reporting on manual and automated test cases — smoke, sanity, functional, integration, and regression.
• Working knowledge of web application and relational database architecture.
• Proven track record building and maintaining release pipelines, and managing deployment schedules, risks, and impediments.
• Familiarity with bug-tracking tools such as Jira and TestMo.
• Solid grasp of Scrum and Agile development methodologies.
• Strong adherence to stylistic and architectural repository standards.

Responsibilities

• Own the quality of key features end to end — from interpreting requirements through functional, regression, and smoke testing for your assigned Scrum team.
• Evaluate and test change requests to confirm the software meets defined requirements before it ships.
• Investigate issues uncovered during testing, get to the root cause, and update tests so they catch it next time.
• Design and build clean, lean automated tests using the Playwright framework to cut out repetitive manual work.
• Keep the test repository healthy — readable, maintainable, and well-organized — through regular refactoring.
• Review pull requests promptly to raise our code quality bar and keep projects moving.
• Research, pitch, and implement new tools that make our testing sharper and more efficient.
• Partner daily with Engineers, DevOps, Product, Support, and Business Analysts to keep quality embedded in how we build.
• Drive ongoing improvements to our QA processes, not just follow them.
• Communicate implementation issues, delays, and mitigation plans clearly and early.
• Support scheduled releases and, on occasion, urgent after-hours patches to keep the platform running for our customers.
• Mentor fellow QA team members on automation best practices.
