Senior QA Engineer: Salesforce + Playwright (AI SaaS)

Qajobs; California; On-site; USD 110,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Qajobs in California seeks a Senior QA Engineer to own quality initiatives across the product. You will design and execute automated Playwright tests, perform API validation, and ensure data integrity between Salesforce and PostgreSQL.

You will lead root-cause analysis, mentor junior QA staff, and collaborate with development and product teams to elevate testing standards in a fast-paced startup environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in software QA with a strong mix of manual and automation experience.
• Hands-on experience testing Salesforce applications — standard and custom objects, Flows, triggers, validation rules, and the data model.
• Solid Playwright + Python automation skills — you can build and maintain a real test suite, not just record-and-playback.
• Experience with API testing (Postman, pytest with requests, or similar).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI preferred).
• Comfortable with SOQL and SQL to inspect records, validate transforms, and debug data issues.
• Self-directed — you can take a vague bug report or a new feature spec and figure out the right testing approach without being walked through it.
• Strong written English for async communication with a distributed team.
• Able to overlap with PST hours, ideally mornings (PT).

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain automated test suites in Playwright (Python + pytest) covering web UI and API surfaces.
• Lead root cause analysis for bugs and production issues, including data integrity issues in PostgreSQL.
• Perform exploratory and manual testing of Salesforce workflows and edge cases — objects, automation, and the data syncing between Salesforce and PostgreSQL.
• Collaborate with developers on shift-left quality practices — catching issues in review, not just in QA.
• Own test data strategy, including generating and managing realistic test data management strategies.
• Document test cases, track coverage in Testmo, and manage QA tasks in ClickUp.
• Mentor junior QA team members and help establish and maintain testing best practices.
