Job summary

Atomic HR is seeking a senior QA engineer to lead automated testing across API, UI, and pipeline layers in a fully remote U.S.-based team. You will define testing strategy, build end-to-end journeys, and partner with delivery teams to ensure “done” means high quality and reliable releases.

You will write plain-language summaries for non-engineers, coordinate with customer-facing teams, and push back on risky release dates with evidence.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in quality, test or software engineering, with automation you wrote yourself, running in CI and kept by other engineers.
• Strong test code in Python or TypeScript across API, browser and pipeline, including headless browser runs and integration tests for failing dependencies.
• Experience testing business rules you had to learn first: you read the policy, found the gaps, and wrote tests from the answers.
• Experience as the only quality person across several teams, setting your own priorities with no backlog handed to you.
• Fully remote across the U.S.

Responsibilities

• Build end-to-end journeys, a smoke suite on every build, and integration tests in code engineers review and keep.
• Write a plain-language summary for non-engineers of what’s verified, and push back on a risky date with evidence.
• Sit with customer-facing teams and test features while they’re being built, moving between teams as workload shifts.
• Set a shared definition of “done” and coach engineers on testing their own work.
• Run functional, regression and accessibility tests across browsers and devices, and check each customer’s configuration.
• Test APIs and asynchronous flows between services, and write contract tests for outside systems.
• Make sure the product behaves sensibly when a dependency is slow, down or returns wrong data.
• Test data and security
• Seed realistic test data for a complex system, inside strict access and data-protection rules
• Help find and fix security vulnerabilities in the app and its infrastructure
