Description Description Do you enjoy building and refining automated test frameworks that ensure software quality day in and day out? Are you the type who dreams in test cases and can’t help but break down complex requirements into repeatable scripts? Do you thrive on collaboration with product and engineering teams to ensure every feature meets (and exceeds) expectations? If so, read on… I’m the QA Manager at RTA, and I’m looking for a Software Quality Engineer to own the automation test suite for our software—while occasionally rolling up your sleeves to do manual testing as needed. This role is about creating reliable automated tests, coaching teammates on best practices, and translating complex business requirements into robust test scenarios. If this sounds like you, you could be the peanut butter to our jelly! Read on and apply! To set expectations clearly: As part of the QA team, you will be expected to contribute to manual testing efforts as needed, ensuring features are thoroughly validated and meet quality standards prior to release. What We’re Looking For In general, someone who: Is passionate about serving others. Takes pride in being a QA professional and finds fulfillment in seeing the entire product succeed and grow.

Our clients are fleet managers, parts clerks, and automotive technicians who maintain everything from squad cars to school buses—so everyone comes home safely at the end of the day.

Has working knowledge of MSSQL (or other SQL databases) to validate data integrity as part of tests. Uses Docker and AWS for setting up test environments, running containerized tests, or deploying automation pipelines. Leverages GitHub for version control, code reviews, and continuous integration of test suites. Is well-versed in CI/CD pipelines, integrating automated tests into the build process, ensuring that failing tests block releases. Communicates effectively, providing clear, concise feedback to developers and product managers. Key Responsibilities Automate, Automate, Automate: Build and maintain robust test frameworks using Java-based tools (e.g., Selenium), ensuring coverage of both frontend/UI and backend/API.
