Job Title: Quality Assurance Engineer

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours (with flexibility for release cycles, sprint deadlines, and testing windows)

About the Role

Our client is seeking a Quality Assurance Engineer to ensure software products are reliable, functional, scalable, and production-ready before release. This role combines manual testing, automated testing, defect tracking, and collaboration with engineering and product teams to maintain high software quality standards.

The ideal candidate is highly detail-oriented, technically curious, and passionate about delivering exceptional user experiences through structured testing and quality-focused thinking.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys identifying edge cases, improving testing coverage, and helping engineering teams release software with confidence.

Responsibilities

Test Planning & Quality Strategy

• Develop detailed test plans, test cases, and quality assurance documentation • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and developers to understand requirements and user stories • Define testing strategies for features, integrations, workflows, and regression coverage • Ensure acceptance criteria and edge cases are properly validated before release

Manual Testing & Defect Validation

• Execute manual testing across functional, regression, UI/UX, cross-browser, and cross-device scenarios • Identify, document, and track defects using Jira, Azure DevOps, TestRail, Zephyr, or similar tools • Provide detailed reproduction steps, screenshots, logs, and supporting documentation • Retest bug fixes and verify impacted areas after updates or deployments

Test Automation

• Build, maintain, and improve automated test suites using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or similar frameworks • Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI • Monitor test execution results and troubleshoot automation failures • Improve automation coverage to reduce manual regression effort

Performance & Security Testing

• Conduct load, stress, and performance testing using tools such as JMeter or Locust • Support vulnerability scanning and security-focused testing efforts • Validate system stability, responsiveness, and reliability under varying workloads

Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain organized documentation for test plans, test cases, bug reports, and testing results • Track and report quality metrics such as defect density, pass/fail rates, and regression coverage • Prepare clear QA status updates and testing summaries for stakeholders and leadership

Collaboration & Agile Participation

• Work closely with developers to reproduce, isolate, and resolve issues efficiently • Participate in Agile ceremonies including standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and release reviews • Advocate for quality standards throughout the software development lifecycle • Provide usability and testability feedback during feature development

What Makes You a Perfect Fit

• Detail-oriented and highly analytical with a strong quality mindset • Skilled at uncovering edge cases, usability issues, and hidden defects • Strong communicator who documents findings clearly and professionally • Comfortable balancing testing thoroughness with fast-paced release cycles • Proactive, organized, and collaborative within Agile engineering environments

Required Experience & Skills

• 2+ years of professional QA or software testing experience • Hands-on experience with test management and bug-tracking tools (Jira, TestRail, Zephyr, Azure DevOps) • Familiarity with automation frameworks such as Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright • Strong understanding of Agile workflows and the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) • Experience performing functional, regression, and UI testing

Preferred Experience & Skills

• Experience in SaaS, fintech, healthcare, or enterprise software environments • Familiarity with API testing tools such as Postman or RestAssured • Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines • Exposure to security testing, compliance-heavy systems, or performance testing workflows • Understanding of modern QA best practices and automation strategies

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

A Quality Assurance Engineer’s day revolves around validating product quality and preventing defects from reaching production. You will:

• Review user stories and requirements to create or refine test cases • Execute manual and automated tests on new features and product updates • Log, prioritize, and communicate bugs clearly with engineering teams • Participate in sprint meetings and provide testing progress updates • Review regression testing results after deployments or new builds • Analyze quality trends and improve testing coverage and efficiency • Maintain organized QA documentation and testing records

In essence: you are the final quality checkpoint before release, ensuring software is stable, functional, and delivers a reliable user experience.

Key Metrics for Success (KPIs)

• Defect detection rate before production releases • Regression test coverage percentage • Reduction in escaped production defects • Faster resolution time for reported issues • % of successful releases without critical or severe bugs • Positive stakeholder confidence in product quality and reliability

Interview Process

• Initial Phone Screen • Video Interview with Pavago Recruiter • Practical Assessment (e.g., design a test plan or execute a sample bug testing scenario) • Client Interview with QA / Engineering Leadership • Offer & Background Verification

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
