Senior QA Engineer to $2600

We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer who can own quality end-to-end: build a pragmatic test strategy, execute strong manual and automation testing, and scale reliable UI automation using Playwright. You’ll partner closely with product, design, and engineering to prevent regressions, improve release confidence, and keep feedback loops fast.

Responsibilities

• Own quality for assigned product areas: test planning, execution, sign-off
• Design and maintain Playwright E2E / UI tests (stable selectors, good waits, minimal flakiness)
• Perform manual testing: exploratory, regression, smoke, cross-browser, mobile responsive
• Define test coverage and risk-based testing aligned with releases
• Create and maintain test cases, checklists, lightweight documentation
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD with clear reporting and fast failure signals
• Investigate test failures + product bugs, run root-cause analysis, drive fixes with devs
• Improve QA processes: test environments, data setup, mocking, release gates

Required skills

• 3+ years QA experience (manual + automation)
• Playwright (TypeScript / JavaScript) hands-on E2E experience
• Strong web testing fundamentals: DOM, network, cookies/storage, caching, auth flows
• Test design: equivalence partitions, boundary testing, exploratory, risk-based
• CI pipelines: GitHub Actions / GitLab / Bitbucket / Jenkins
• Strong debugging skills: logs, DevTools, flaky tests, root causes
• API testing (Postman / Insomnia) + basic SQL / data validation
• Clear communication and ownership mindset

Nice to have

• Visual regression testing or accessibility testing
• Contract testing or component testing
• Observability tools: Datadog, Sentry, quality metrics
