Job Description

Overview

We're seeking an Intermediate QA Automation Engineer with solid testing fundamentals, a quality-first mindset, and a drive to grow fast in a high-ownership environment.

What you'll be doing

You'll join one of our cross-functional squads — working alongside a Product Manager, a Designer, Front-End, Back-End and QA Engineers — building the world's best Employer of Record platform. We are a remote-first team spread across Asia and Europe, so you'll collaborate asynchronously and across time zones as a matter of course. You'll own test coverage for your squad's features, contribute to requirements review, and be expected to take increasing responsibility for quality as you grow. AI tooling is a first-class part of how we work: you'll use it to accelerate test generation and develop sharp judgment about validating its output.

Responsibilities

  • Develop automated tests for both new features and regression scenarios

  • Conduct functional, integration and regression testing to validate application functionality against requirements, with manual testing as needed

  • Triage and report defects accurately, tracking them from discovery through to resolution

  • Monitor and help reduce the ratio of end-user found vs QA found defects

  • Keep QA impact on release schedule to a minimum

  • Use AI tools to accelerate test generation, while developing the judgment to review and validate generated tests

  • Contribute to requirements review by bringing a QA perspective

Requirements

  • Minimum of 3 years in Quality Assurance or Software Development roles

  • Hands-on experience with Playwright or a comparable test automation framework

  • Good coding skills enabling efficient test automation

  • Experience with API testing and automation

  • Familiarity with issue tracking tools (preferably Jira) and version control (preferably Git)

  • Ability to communicate effectively in a remote environment — clear written communication, reliable async collaboration

Preferred Skills

  • Familiarity with AI coding assistants applied to test generation, and a willingness to build a disciplined workflow around them

  • Experience creating and maintaining manual testing plans

  • Experience working on a SaaS platform, or at least a custom-built product

  • Familiarity with agile environments and frequent release cycles

  • Awareness of DevOps practices related to QA infrastructure and CI/CD

  • Understanding of web application development concepts
  • Self-directed and curious: you take ownership of your tasks, seek feedback proactively, and drive your own growth without waiting to be pushed

 

If you're passionate about quality assurance, automation, and enjoy working in a supportive team environment, we encourage you to apply and become a valuable part of our QA crew.
