Full Job Description
About the role

As a QA Engineer on our team, you'll test both backend API services and frontend web clients through a mix of automation and manual testing. You'll help us continue developing our CI/CD capabilities and pioneer strategies for reducing manual testing load. For us, "quality" means attention to detail, correctness, and strong error handling and recovery. You'll be embedded within a fully remote engineering team working on an e-commerce platform, working closely with developers to shape our testing strategy. We're open to candidates from mid-level through senior - the key trait we're looking for is someone who takes initiative to identify gaps and build solutions rather than waiting to be told what to test.
Responsibilities
  • Design and build automated test suites for APIs and backend services (functional, regression, integration)
  • Design and build browser automation tests for frontend client applications (e.g., using Playwright or Cypress)
  • Work with engineers to define test strategy and acceptance criteria before features ship
  • Propose and drive adoption of new testing practices and tooling, not just executing existing plans
  • Improve test coverage and reduce manual QA load over time through CI/CD improvements
  • Collaborate closely with developers to identify edge cases and failure modes early in the development cycle
  • Generate test plans based on ticket acceptance criteria
  • Verify successful production releases

Requirements
  • Must have:
    • Experience writing automated tests for both backend services and frontend web applications, including hands-on experience with a browser automation framework (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium)
    • Comfort reading and writing code for Node/JS/TS applications
    • Strong debugging and root-cause investigation skills
    • Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
    • Willingness to use AI tooling
  • Nice to have:
    • Experience using AI tools for test generation, code review, or debugging workflows
    • Security testing exposure
    • Experience with test case management software (Testmo, TestRail, etc)

Benefits
  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
  • Work From Home
