[REMOTE] Software Quality Assurance Engineer (QA engineering exp. req.) Description 

Our client, a SaaS company, is looking for a Remote QA Engineer to join their team (90 company-wide, 3 within QA) in Canada. This position requires a significant amount of manual testing (~50%) including exploratory testing, requirements analysis, and identifying risks and requirement gaps before automation. While the client is moving toward more automation, manual testing remains a core part of the work. The tech stack includes JavaScript, Postman, and Playwright. As the company transitions to a more automation-focused approach, some processes are still evolving, which comes with the typical “growing pains.” The exciting part is that no one is set in their ways. There’s a culture of continuous improvement where new ideas are welcomed. The ideal candidate thrives in a small engineering team, values independence, but isn’t afraid to ask questions when needed. If you prefer a highly structured environment with minimal ambiguity, this may not be the best fit. However, if you value a role where you can actively shape the company’s overall QA strategy, this could be an excellent match.
