QA - Manual

Job Description We are partnering with a technology organization to place a Mid-Level QA Engineer who will work as part of a collaborative QA team alongside a Senior SDET. This role is primarily manual testing focused, with a strong emphasis on database validation and API testing — making it ideal for a QA professional who is technically curious and comfortable working close to the data layer. The right candidate will bring hands-on experience with Postman, SQL-based DB testing, and a solid understanding of how APIs and backend systems interact. This is a great opportunity to grow within a team that values quality at every layer of the stack. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
