QA Engineer

We're looking for an experienced QA Engineer to join our team and help ensure the quality and reliability of technology-driven products at scale. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on catching what others miss — building automated coverage that lasts, and digging into logs, databases, and cloud infrastructure to find the real cause of a failure, not just its symptoms.

The ideal candidate brings strong hands-on testing experience across web applications, APIs, and backend services, with the technical range to move between writing automated test suites, validating data with SQL, and troubleshooting issues across distributed, cloud-based systems.

This position is open to candidates based in LATAM.

Responsibilities

• Develops comprehensive test plans and test cases in coordination with developers working on new features and enhancements.
• Executes manual regression and integration testing to validate application behavior and release readiness.
• Automates existing manual test suites, prioritizing reliable and maintainable test coverage.
• Designs, implements, and continually improves automated testing for web applications, APIs, and backend services.
• Works closely with developers to validate implementations, identify defects, and verify resolutions.
• Evaluates completed work and provides QA approval for promotion through staging and production environments.
• Identifies potential quality risks, technical roadblocks, and gaps in test coverage early in the development process.
• Performs API, functional, integration, regression, and performance testing as required.
• Validates application data and backend processing through SQL queries and database analysis.
• Uses application logs, cloud monitoring tools, and other diagnostic information to investigate failures and unexpected behavior.
• Advocates for automated testing at multiple levels, including unit, API, integration, and end-to-end testing.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Quality Assurance, with a strong focus on test automation.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, C#, or TypeScript.
• Experience with browser automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar tools.
• Experience testing HTTP APIs using tools such as Postman or comparable API-testing solutions.
• Experience with performance and load-testing tools such as JMeter.
• Knowledge of unit-testing frameworks such as pytest, Jest, NUnit, or similar.
• Strong SQL knowledge and experience using database tools such as Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
• Familiarity with the AWS Console and services such as ECS, RDS, CloudWatch, and S3.
• General understanding of cloud computing and microservices architectures.
• Strong technical aptitude, particularly around web applications, APIs, distributed services, and client-server architectures.
• Knowledge of professional software engineering practices throughout the SDLC, including source control, code reviews, build and deployment processes, testing, and production operations.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to investigate issues across application, database, and cloud infrastructure layers.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to discuss technical issues effectively with developers and other stakeholders.
