We’re looking for an experienced QA Automation Engineer to own and advance our automated testing infrastructure. This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong emphasis on building, maintaining, and expanding end-to-end and regression test suites using modern automation frameworks. You’ll work closely with our development team to ensure our platform ships reliably and at high quality.

• Design, build, and maintain automated test suites using Playwright as the primary framework
• Work with cloud-based testing platforms such as Mabl, BrowserStack, or similar tools for cross-browser and cross-device coverage
• Develop and own regression test coverage for core platform workflows
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and ensure tests run reliably on every deploy
• Continuously improve test reliability, speed, and coverage — reducing flakiness and expanding coverage as the product grows
• Collaborate with developers to shift testing left: contributing tests alongside feature development
• Maintain test infrastructure documentation and onboarding guides

• Test new features across browsers, devices, and operating systems
• Reproduce, document, and track bugs with clarity and precision
• Work with the development team to validate fixes and close the loop on reported issues
• Identify edge cases and system interactions that automated tests may not yet cove

• 3+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining automated test suites in a professional environment
• Strong proficiency with Playwright (TypeScript preferred) — this is non-negotiable
• Experience with at least one AI-assisted or low-code testing platform (Mabl, Testim, BrowserStack Automate, or equivalent)
• Solid understanding of CI/CD concepts and integrating tests into build pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar)
• Ability to write clean, maintainable test code and follow software engineering best practices
• Experience testing web and mobile applications across multiple browsers and platforms
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

• Reliable high-speed internet connection
• Modern computer capable of running testing tools and environments
• Ability to work overlapping U.S. business hours
• Quiet and professional remote work environment

• Familiarity with SaaS platforms, particularly time tracking, scheduling, or payroll
• Experience with accessibility testing or performance testing
• Exposure to backend API testing (REST)
• Contributions to open-source testing tooling or a public GitHub portfolio

• Fully remote role
• Fast-paced, product-driven environment
• Collaborative team across engineering and product
• Strong focus on quality, accuracy, and continuous improvement

• Detail-oriented professionals who enjoy problem-solving
• Analytical thinkers who focus on accuracy and quality
• Team players who collaborate well with engineers and product teams
• Self-starters who take ownership of testing processes
• Individuals who take pride in delivering reliable software

• Not a purely manual, repetitive role — critical thinking is required
• Not isolated from product decisions — collaboration is key
• Not a low-impact position — quality directly affects user trust

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and welcome candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
