Overview

TP-Link is seeking a Software Quality Assurance Engineer to join our Cloud Web Platforms Quality Engineering team. In this role, you will help ensure the quality of TP-Link's global websites, web applications, and AI-powered customer experiences, which reach millions of users across dozens of countries and languages. You will drive quality throughout the development lifecycle—from reviewing requirements and identifying risks to designing tests, expanding automation coverage, investigating failures, and supporting release decisions. The work ranges from product pages and content-management platforms to AI-powered search and support assistants. You also have the opportunity to contribute to testing the cloud services and APIs behind these experiences. Throughout, you'll work closely with software engineers, product managers, designers, and senior quality engineers. This role is ideal for a quality engineer who enjoys both breadth and depth: someone comfortable moving between browser-based UI testing, backend API validation, and automation, and who wants to grow expertise across web and cloud technologies.

Responsibilities

• Develop risk-based test strategies and execute functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing for websites, web applications, content-management systems, APIs, and supporting cloud services.
• Participate in requirements reviews and design discussions to clarify acceptance criteria, identify risks early, and improve product testability.
• Build and maintain automated UI and API tests using Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript and frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or equivalent tools.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Validate backend APIs, service integrations, database behavior, and data integrity using API tools, code-based test frameworks, and SQL.
• Investigate failures and isolate root causes using browser developer tools, network traces, application logs, system telemetry, and database queries.
• Perform release validation across browsers, devices, and screen sizes, including responsive UI, visual regression, functional, and end-to-end testing to ensure seamless product rollouts.
• Conduct web performance, load, and accessibility testing, monitoring metrics like Core Web Vitals and ensuring compliance with WCAG guidelines.
• Produce clear test reports, defect analyses, and go/no-go risk assessments to support release decisions.
• Advocate for QA best practices, test-code quality, and continuous improvement, using AI-assisted tools where appropriate to improve engineering productivity.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 2-5 years of experience in software quality engineering, with significant experience testing web applications.
• Solid understanding of software testing principles, test design techniques, and the software development lifecycle.
• Hands-on experience testing web applications across browsers, devices, and screen sizes, using browser developer tools to inspect network requests, console errors, and page behavior.
• Experience developing and maintaining automated UI and API tests in Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar frameworks.
• Experience testing RESTful APIs with tools such as Postman or code-based test frameworks, and validating data using SQL.
• Working knowledge of how websites are built and delivered, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, HTTP, redirects, caching, and content-management systems.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git, and Jira or similar defect-tracking tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain quality risks and test results clearly to engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience owning quality for a web product, website migration, or CMS platform from planning through release.
• Experience testing SEO elements, structured data (Schema.org), analytics and tag implementations, or localized content across many locales.
• Experience testing AI or LLM-powered features such as chatbots, search, or recommendations, including approaches for evaluating non-deterministic output.
• Experience with web performance and accessibility testing tools such as Lighthouse, WebPageTest, or axe.
• Experience testing applications deployed on AWS or other public cloud platforms, or backend services built on microservices.
• Familiarity with visual regression testing tools such as Percy, Applitools, or Chromatic.
• Experience leveraging AI-powered tools such as GitHub Copilot or other AI-assisted testing solutions to improve testing efficiency and engineering productivity.
• Experience with networking products, smart home technologies, connected device ecosystems, or e-commerce websites.
