Job description

Senior SQA Tester

Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Senior SQA Tester to lead quality assurance efforts across our web and AI-powered applications. The ideal candidate has strong experience testing modern web applications, including AI-driven features and workflows, and is comfortable building and maintaining automated test suites.

You will work closely with developers, product managers, and other cross-functional teams to design comprehensive testing strategies, identify potential issues early, and ensure our products are reliable, secure, scalable, and user-friendly.

The ideal candidate is hands-on with Playwright or Selenium, has strong TypeScript and JavaScript experience, and understands how to test both traditional web application functionality and AI-powered features.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain comprehensive test strategies, test plans, test cases, and test scenarios for web and AI-powered applications
• Design and execute manual and automated tests across frontend UI, backend APIs, databases, and integrated workflows
• Build, maintain, and improve automated testing frameworks using Playwright, Selenium, or similar tools
• Write and maintain test automation using TypeScript and/or JavaScript
• Test AI-powered features and applications, including AI-driven workflows, outputs, integrations, and edge cases
• Develop testing approaches for AI functionality where traditional deterministic testing may not be sufficient, including validation of expected behavior, consistency, accuracy, and failure scenarios
• Perform functional, regression, smoke, sanity, integration, end-to-end, and exploratory testing
• Test RESTful APIs using tools such as Postman, Swagger, or Insomnia
• Identify, reproduce, document, and track bugs with clear steps, expected results, actual results, and supporting evidence
• Lead end-to-end testing cycles for new releases, major product updates, and new AI-powered features
• Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and UX/UI designers to understand requirements and ensure adequate test coverage
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and help maintain reliable automated test execution
• Perform cross-browser and cross-platform testing to ensure consistent application behavior
• Contribute to performance, accessibility, usability, and security testing
• Review existing QA processes and recommend improvements to increase test coverage, reliability, and efficiency
• Mentor junior QA team members and promote QA best practices across the development team

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in software quality assurance/testing
• Demonstrated experience testing web applications, preferably including complex SaaS or enterprise applications
• Hands-on experience testing AI-powered applications or AI-driven features
• Strong experience with Playwright or Selenium for browser/UI automation
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and/or JavaScript, particularly for test automation
• Experience designing, writing, executing, and maintaining automated test cases
• Strong understanding of test automation frameworks, Page Object Model, test data management, and maintainable automation practices
• Experience with RESTful API testing using tools such as Postman, Swagger, or Insomnia
• Experience with Git and version control workflows
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated test execution using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar platforms
• Strong understanding of web technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and browser behavior
• Experience identifying, troubleshooting, and clearly documenting software defects
• Strong understanding of functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience testing applications built with PHP/Laravel
• Experience with MySQL or other relational databases
• Experience with AI/LLM-powered applications, including testing AI-generated responses, prompts, workflows, integrations, or agentic behavior
• Experience with AI testing/evaluation frameworks or techniques
• Experience with Cypress in addition to Playwright or Selenium
• Experience with performance and load testing tools such as JMeter or k6
• Experience with security testing tools such as OWASP ZAP or Burp Suite
• Familiarity with accessibility testing and WCAG standards
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments
• ISTQB or other recognized QA/testing certification
• Experience mentoring or leading QA engineers/testers

What We're Looking For

We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate hands-on experience testing AI-powered applications, rather than candidates whose experience is limited to traditional web application QA.

You should be comfortable asking questions such as:

• How do we reliably test an AI-powered feature when outputs may vary?
• How do we validate AI behavior against expected requirements?
• How do we test edge cases, unexpected inputs, and failure scenarios?
• How can automated browser testing be integrated into our development workflow?
• How can we improve test coverage while keeping our automation suite reliable and maintainable?

If you have strong experience with Playwright or Selenium, TypeScript/JavaScript, automated web testing, and AI application testing, we'd love to hear from you.
