Qualifications

• Experience on an agile development team as a Quality Engineer, owning test strategy and execution across the full project lifecycle.
• Judgment about where automation adds value and where hands-on testing is the better investment.
• Experience writing comprehensive test plans and test cases, and adapting coverage as requirements change.
• A solid understanding of how websites, web applications, APIs, databases, mobile apps, Windows apps, and the cloud work at a high level.
• Ability to support multiple client projects at once, from embedded, sprint-based testing on active builds to lighter regression coverage on maintenance work.
• Experience working within scoped budgets or billable-hours environments, with good judgment on where to prioritize testing effort.
• Strong attention to detail, and the ability to work with teammates to find practical solutions to quality issues.
• Strong technical writing, verbal communication, and presentation skills.

Responsibilities

• Build test coverage that matches project risk, and communicate coverage decisions and tradeoffs to the team and client.
• Take part in backlog refinement and story shaping, helping the team write testable acceptance criteria before development starts.
• Plan test cases for user stories and features with the agile team.
• Partner with developers throughout each sprint to catch issues early, reproduce defects clearly, and resolve them together rather than just handing them off.
• Perform hands-on testing against acceptance criteria throughout each project.
• Coordinate regression testing and scheduled client testing, using automation where it makes sense and earns its cost.
• Keep quality status visible and current, so leads, product owners, and clients can see where things stand without having to ask.
• Evaluate mid-project changes for testing impact.
• Estimate QA effort for upcoming work, track your time accurately, and flag it early if test coverage and budget are in conflict.
• Help improve our QA processes, making them more efficient and reliable.
• Explore and apply AI-assisted testing tools and techniques, and bring what works back to the team in a usable way.
• Coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) directly with clients, explaining quality status and risk in terms non-technical stakeholders understand.
• Other related duties as assigned.
