Senior Quality Assurance Engineer (QA) – Remote

Are you a results-driven and strategic Senior Quality Assurance Engineer ready to shape the future of quality in a dynamic, remote-first environment? We are looking for a passionate leader to take ownership of our Quality Assurance practices, moving beyond execution to define strategy, build scalable systems, and champion quality across our engineering team. If you’re excited by the opportunity to significantly impact product reliability, enhance development velocity through smart automation, and build the foundation for our growing QA function, this role is for you.

This position is perfect for someone who thrives on both high-level strategy and deep technical execution. You’ll enhance existing processes, implement innovative solutions, and collaborate cross-functionally to ensure we deliver exceptional software.

Your Impact & What You’ll Drive

As our Senior QA Engineer, you won’t just execute tests; you’ll be a key driver of quality throughout the software development lifecycle. Your responsibilities will include:

• Defining and Evolving Strategy: Own the overall Quality Assurance strategy, ensuring it aligns with product and engineering goals and sets the direction for future growth.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Managers and Software Engineers to clarify requirements and define robust, testable acceptance criteria from the outset.
• Building Automation: Design, develop, and maintain comprehensive and scalable automated test suites covering unit, integration, regression, and End-to-End (E2E) Testing.
• Environment & Data Management: Develop and manage dedicated testing environments, including test databases (MySQL) with relevant seeded data and user configurations necessary for effective testing.
• CI/CD Integration: Seamlessly integrate automated tests into our CI/CD pipelines (Github Actions) for continuous feedback, faster deployments, and early issue detection.
• Metrics & Reporting: Establish key QA metrics (e.g., test coverage, defect trends, execution results) and build clear, actionable reporting to track quality progress and identify areas for improvement.
• Quality Leadership: Lead bug triage sessions, drive root cause analysis, and conduct post-release quality assessments to foster continuous improvement cycles.
• Culture Champion: Evangelize a “test early and often” mindset and help set quality benchmarks and best practices across the entire engineering organization.
• Technology Evaluation: Research, evaluate, and recommend cutting-edge tools and frameworks for test automation, test data generation, and quality reporting to keep our practices state-of-the-art.
• Shaping the Future: Play a foundational role in defining the roadmap for our future QA team structure and operational practices.
