About the Opportunity
Do you enjoy digging into software, finding issues before customers do, and working directly with developers to make products better?
We are seeking a Software QA Engineer for our client to join their development team and help ensure the quality and performance of our web-based engineering software solutions. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys both traditional software testing and finding smarter, more efficient ways to improve the QA process.
We're particularly interested in a take-charge, technically curious QA professional who can help expand test automation and introduce innovative approaches to software quality.
If you enjoy variety, independence, and the opportunity to take ownership of your work, this could be a great fit.
What You'll Do
Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and testing procedures.
Create, maintain, and enhance automated test scripts.
Identify opportunities to improve QA efficiency through automation and process improvements.
Work closely with the development team throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), including design, development, testing, and release.
Manage and support QA activities throughout the software release cycle.
Identify, document, troubleshoot, and communicate software defects and quality concerns.
Provide technical support and assistance to customers.
Write technical content, including articles and blog posts.
Review and contribute to product documentation and training materials.
Support product enhancements and other non-coding product initiatives.
Collaborate across teams to continually improve overall product quality and the customer experience.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is someone who combines strong QA fundamentals with initiative and problem-solving skills. You should be comfortable working independently while also collaborating closely with software developers and other team members.
Experience with the following would be valuable:
Software quality assurance and testing
Web-based application testing
Automated software testing and test-script development
Familiarity with SOC2 Compliance
Test planning and test-case development
Software development lifecycle methodologies
Defect identification, documentation, and troubleshooting
Software release and regression testing
Technical documentation
Customer-facing technical support
Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to take on a versatile QA role with a high degree of independence, responsibility, and influence. Rather than simply executing predefined test scripts, you'll have the opportunity to improve how testing is performed, expand automation, and work directly with the development team to deliver better software.
If you're a QA professional who enjoys breaking software, solving problems, improving processes, and ultimately building a better product, we'd like to hear from you.
