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.
