Junior QA Tester
An interdisciplinary product squad—engineers, designers, data analysts, and product owners—relies on our QA layer to safeguard user trust. We champion accessibility, automate repetitive checks, and celebrate knowledge-sharing. The culture is remote-first, feedback-driven, and obsessed with continuous improvement.
What You’ll Do
- Execute exploratory and scripted manual tests on web and mobile applications, APIs, and integrations.
- Log reproducible defects in Jira with crystal-clear steps, screenshots, and severity labels.
- Verify hotfixes, patches, and regression suites before every sprint release.
- Collaborate daily with developers during stand-ups, backlog grooming, and sprint retrospectives.
- Maintain concise test documentation inside Confluence for audit and knowledge transfer.
- Pair with senior QA engineers to convert high-value tests into automated suites using Cypress or Playwright.
- Contribute fresh ideas to improve test coverage, usability, and performance metrics.
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related STEM discipline.
- Foundational understanding of SDLC, STLC, and Agile/Scrum ceremonies.
- Familiarity with test case management tools such as TestRail or Zephyr.
- Basic SQL for data validation and API testing with Postman or similar tools.
- Sharp analytical mindset, unstoppable curiosity, and impeccable attention to detail.
- Confident written and verbal communication skills—you translate complex findings into plain English.
- Eligibility to work in the United States; ability to operate effectively in a remote, distributed team.
Growth Path
You’ll start by honing manual testing fundamentals, then progress toward automation scripting, CI/CD integration, and eventually test strategy ownership. Typical trajectory: QA Trainee → Junior QA Analyst → QA Engineer → Senior SDET. Training budget, peer code-labs, and conference passes are part of the journey.
Why This Role Rocks
– Real autonomy: you’ll see your bug fixes reach production weekly… not someday.
– Broad industry exposure: finance, e-commerce, healthcare, media, and govtech products sharpen domain knowledge.
– Remote-first flexibility lets you save commute time for learning new frameworks or, well, life.
– Impact: every defect you catch protects revenue, brand reputation, and user safety—measurable, meaningful wins.
