Description

About the Role 

We’re looking for a skilled QA Engineer to enhance the quality of our established Workwize platform. Your mission will be to elevate system functionality, work closely with developers, and ensure robust integration testing. This role is perfect for someone eager to contribute to a high-quality, streamlined user experience.


In this role, you'll also be responsible for writing automated end-to-end tests using Cypress and Playwright, supporting the team in maintaining existing features, and actively contributing to the development of new ones. You’ll help drive a "shift-left" approach, ensuring that quality is embedded early in the development process and championing best practices that foster a culture of testing and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

QA Strategy:

  • Own and maintain the quality plan for the product across the release cycle: what gets tested at which layer, which quality gates apply, and how release readiness is judged. Keep it documented and current as the roadmap moves, and make the go/no-go call on releases.
  • Embed quality earlier in the delivery cycle: take part in refinement and design discussions, pressure test acceptance criteria before work starts, and surface testability and risk gaps while they are still cheap to fix. Drive this by coaching the team rather than by being the only person who tests.
  • Work with developers and the product owner so the quality plan and gates are understood and consistently applied within the engineering team.

Collaboration and Continuous Improvement: 

  • Work closely with developers throughout the SDLC to provide feedback on testability, code quality, and potential edge cases.
  • Support the team in both maintaining existing features and ensuring high quality in the development of new features.
  • Manage bugs, incidents, and root cause analysis efforts, while continuously improving quality practices and testing standards.

Testing and Automation:

  • Design, implement, and maintain automated end-to-end and integration tests for our Laravel and React applications.
  • Develop and manage API test suites to validate backend functionality, performance, and reliability.
  • Leverage Cypress and Playwright to automate high-value test scenarios that reflect real-world user behavior.
  • Continuously improve and scale our test automation infrastructure to accelerate development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience as a QA Engineer or Software Tester.
  • Experience with Automation Testing is non negotiable. 
  • Strong knowledge of testing methodologies and tools
  • Experience with Postman API testing suite and Cypress & Playwright.
  • Familiarity with Javascript and PHP.
  • Familiarity with Github Actions and CI/CD.
  • Familiarity with AWS services is a plus.

The Right Mindset 

  • Analytical mind with great attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.
