Description

Work location and availability


This remote-first role is open to candidates across Canada. Work from home or from any of our offices, including Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Calgary.


What You'll Be Doing


  • Architect, build, and maintain robust, scalable automated test suites using Playwright, applying industry best practices and design patterns to ensure long-term maintainability.
  • Partner with developers and product managers across the SDLC to clarify requirements, catch gaps early, and define acceptance criteria during Agile ceremonies.
  • Drive quality across both UI and API testing, leveraging monitoring signals, incident reviews, and customer feedback to identify improvement opportunities.
  • Leverage AI in innovative ways to support and accelerate QA automation development tasks.
  • Take ownership of broader quality outcomes by staying involved beyond test execution to improve processes, documentation, and team workflows.
  • Bring a continuous improvement mindset to the role, staying current with new tools, technologies, and testing methodologies.
  • Collaborate with Staff QA Automation Developers to improve processes and QA practices across the organization.
  • Work with product managers to define comprehensive test plans from design documents, such as PRDs and HLDs.
  • Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for key projects, for example when we integrate new partners/clients.
  • Review and execute manual test cases and scripts for features under development using test management/tracking tools to provide feedback on automation suitability to the project team.
  • Manually validate features based on test plans and integrate those scenarios into the automated regression test suite.

What You Bring


  • 5+ years of QA experience testing SaaS or cloud applications, with a deep understanding of the full SDLC and how quality engineering fits into the development process.
  • 2+ years of hands-on automation framework experience with Playwright, Cypress, or similar, with a proven ability to author, maintain, and scale end-to-end (E2E) test suites.
  • An automation-first mindset, with a track record of prioritizing automated coverage over manual-only QA and building reliability into the CI/CD pipeline.
  • Full-stack testing capability across UI and API layers, including experience with tools like Postman for API validation, ensuring comprehensive coverage at every level of the stack.
  • Test architecture and scalable design expertise, with the ability to build maintainable automation suites using industry-standard design patterns (e.g., Page Object Model, data factories, separation of concerns).
  • Agile fluency and tooling experience, including comfort working in rapid delivery environments with frequent release cycles, and familiarity with test management platforms like Allure TestOps for reporting and tracking.
  • A strong background in TypeScript and/or Go is a plus, as is experience with MySQL or similar relational databases.
