Middle QA Engineer (Manual + Auto)

Location: LATAM, Full-Time, Long-Term

We are looking for a Middle QA Engineer (Manual + Automation) to join our globally distributed team, working with clients across Europe and the USA. This is a hands-on individual contributor role combining strong manual QA ownership with test automation development and maintenance.
 

Role Overview

As a Middle QA Engineer, you will be responsible for validating new features end-to-end, owning regression quality, and maintaining a reliable automation suite. You will collaborate closely with engineers and product stakeholders to ensure stable releases, clear defect reporting, and consistent test coverage for modern web applications (often high-traffic, customer-facing products).
 

Key Responsibilities

Perform functional, exploratory, and end-to-end testing for web applications

Own regression testing and release verification for assigned areas/features

Report, track, and verify defects using Jira (and other tools when applicable)

Create and maintain QA documentation where needed (test plans/coverage/checklists)

Develop, maintain, and expand automated test suites using: 

• Playwright (TypeScript)

• Cucumber.js (BDD / Gherkin)

• Page Object Model (POM)
Run and maintain tests in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), investigate failures, and reduce test flakiness.

Validate fixes, retest issues, and support pre-release sign-off activities

Communicate status, blockers, and risks clearly in English

Use AI tools to speed up analysis, test design, and documentation while maintaining quality

Contribute to improving QA processes (better regression packs, stronger automation reliability, clearer reporting)

Required Skills & Experience

3+ years of QA experience with a real mix of manual + automation (web)

Strong QA fundamentals: SDLC/STLC, defect lifecycle, test design techniques

Hands-on automation experience with Playwright or similar (Cypress/Selenium)

TypeScript/JavaScript experience sufficient to write and maintain automated tests

BDD exposure (Cucumber/Gherkin) or strong willingness to work in BDD style

Experience with CI pipelines (GitHub Actions/Jenkins) and debugging failing runs

Experience with Bug Tracking Systems and basic test documentation practices

Strong English communication skills (written and spoken) - daily collaboration in English is required

Nice to Have

Experience testing high-traffic or e-commerce-style flows (auth, checkout, payments, account, order history)

Experience using AI tools in QA workflows (analysis, test ideas, draft docs)

Why Join Us?

Fully remote role, international team

Work on real client products with meaningful user impact (often high-traffic, customer-facing web apps)
Collaborative environment where QA works closely with engineers and product, not as a “final checkpoint”
