Quality Assurance Engineer (Manual + Automation | SaaS) – Remote
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote

About the Role
We’re hiring a Quality Assurance Engineer (QA Tester) to ensure software is fully tested, reliable, and production-ready before release.
This role blends:

Defect tracking
Collaboration with engineering
You will act as the final quality gate — catching issues before users ever see them.
If you’re someone who:
Finds edge cases others miss
Writes clean, structured test cases
Cares about product quality
This role fits you well.

UI/UX validation
Cross-browser & cross-device testing
Log bugs in:
Jira
Azure DevOps
Provide:
Clear reproduction steps

Collaboration (Critical)
Work closely with developers to:

What Makes You a Strong Fit
You catch edge cases others miss
You write clear, structured test cases
You balance speed with thoroughness
You communicate issues clearly to developers
You take ownership of product quality

What a Typical Day Looks Like
Review requirements and write test cases

Report quality metrics and risks
In short:
You ensure nothing broken reaches production.
Key Metrics (KPIs)
Defects caught before release
Regression test coverage
Bug resolution turnaround time
Release quality (low critical defects in production)
Stakeholder confidence in product quality
Why This Role Stands Out
Direct impact on product quality
Exposure to both manual + automation testing
Strong collaboration with engineering teams
Growth into:
Senior QA Engineer
Automation Engineer
QA Lead
Apply Now
If you:
Break things before users do
Care about quality deeply
Think through edge cases naturally
This role is a strong fit.
