The QA Engineer will ensure software quality by designing automated tests, conducting manual testing, and leveraging AI for efficiency.
This is a remote position.
Work Mode: Remote (Colombia/LATAM) · Full‑time
Start: Immediate
Languages: Spanish (native) and English B2, C1 preferred for documentation and demos.
Role Summary
This is an engineering position. You will ensure end‑to‑end quality for custom software projects by designing, coding, and maintaining automated tests (UI/API) while executing focused manual testing where it adds the most value. You will leverage AI (LLMs/Copilot) to accelerate test design, data generation, scripting, and log analysis.
Responsibilities
- Own the test strategy and pyramid (unit signals from dev teams, API and E2E focus in QA).
- Build and maintain automation frameworks in Playwright (TypeScript) or Cypress; structure page objects, fixtures, and utilities.
- Design E2E/UI/API/contract tests; manage test data, mocking/stubbing, and environment configs.
- Integrate suites with CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps), enable parallel runs, artifacts, and quality gates.
- Execute targeted manual testing (exploratory, UAT, regression) and produce reproducible evidence.
- Drive defect triage and root‑cause analysis with engineering; reduce flakiness via robust waits/retries and observability.
- Track quality metrics (defect leakage, MTTR, coverage on critical paths) and report trends.
- AI in QA: generate/refine BDD cases, selectors, synthetic data, draft scripts; summarize logs and propose failure hypotheses.
Nice to Have
- Contract testing (e.g., Pact), visual testing (Applitools), performance basics (k6/JMeter), mobile testing.
- Python basics, Docker for local/CI runners, TestRail/Allure/Xray reporting.
- Familiarity with Zoho (Projects/Desk/Analytics) or Jira/Confluence.
Tooling
Playwright, Cypress, Postman/Newman, GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps, Git, Docker (basic), Allure/TestRail (or similar), Miro/Confluence/Notion, Figma (review prototypes).
Requirements
- 3+ years as QA Engineer/Software Engineer in Test for custom software or SaaS.
- Strong TypeScript/JavaScript skills; hands‑on with Playwright or Cypress .
- Solid API testing (Postman/Newman/Insomnia), JSON/HTTP; basic SQL for validations.
- Experience with Git , branching strategies, and reading CI pipelines.
- Practice with BDD (Given/When/Then) and translating acceptance criteria into automated checks.
- Demonstrated use of AI tools (ChatGPT/Copilot or similar) to speed up QA with concrete examples.
Benefits
- Contract: Employee.
- Compensation: Competitive, based on experience ( include salary expectations ).
- Benefits: remote work, flexible hours, training in AI/automation, career growth.
