Software Quality Assurance Engineer  

We're hiring a Mid to Senior Software Quality Assurance Engineer to ensure the quality and stability of our internal ERP system, with a strong focus on automation and engineering-driven testing. You'll begin with manual testing to understand the system, then take the lead in building automation integrated into our GitHub-based CI/CD pipeline—while applying coding and DevOps best practices to deliver reliable test coverage and results.

What You’ll Do:

• In the first ~6 months, focus on manual testing to deeply understand the system, workflows, and data flow across our internal ERP.
• Design and implement an automation testing strategy that integrates seamlessly with our GitHub-based CI/CD pipeline.
• Build and maintain automated test suites using Laravel’s testing tools (e.g., PHPUnit, Dusk) or other frameworks/tools you’re proficient with (e.g., Cypress, Selenium, Katalon, etc.).
• Ensure that automation delivers high-confidence coverage and produces clear feedback during code reviews and pipeline runs—visible at minimum in GitHub.
• Perform manual testing for edge cases, regression scenarios, and exploratory testing to ensure a high-quality user experience.
• Use SQL and relational database knowledge to validate data, support debugging, and enhance testing depth.
• Collaborate closely with engineers to uncover bugs, define edge-case scenarios, and align on test strategy.
• Support the creation of automation foundations that developers can build upon, contributing to a scalable and maintainable QA process.
• Drive toward measurable coverage goals (e.g., 80%+) and help us deliver confident, low-risk deployments.

What We’re Looking For:

• 2+ years of experience in QA or a similar role, and 2+ years working on test automation or automation framework development.
• Strong manual testing skills, with hands-on experience using automation tools such as Selenium, Cypress, Katalon, or equivalent.
• Experience building and maintaining automated tests—preferably using Laravel’s built-in testing tools (e.g., PHPUnit, Dusk), though equivalent frameworks are also welcome.
• Proficiency in API testing using tools such as Postman, Swagger, or other REST API testing tools.
• Ability to write or review code (preferably in PHP or another relevant language) to support test development and white-box testing.
• Familiarity with CI/CD practices, including integrating automated tests into pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) and ensuring visibility of results.
• Confident in writing SQL queries and using relational databases for data validation and troubleshooting.
• Comfortable working with Git, test management tools, and Agile development processes.
• Experience mentoring junior QA engineers.

Bonus Points If:

• QA certifications such as ISTQB or CSTE.
• Hands-on development experience with Laravel and/or Vue.js.
• Familiarity with performance and security testing approaches.
• Cross-browser and cross-platform testing (Mac, Windows, mobile browsers) to ensure consistent UI/UX.
• Use of AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor) to improve test coverage and efficiency.

When Proceeding with the User Interview:

• Discuss your experience in manual testing and how you've transitioned (or plan to transition) to automated testing.
• Demonstrate your ability to design and execute manual test cases, and how you incorporate automation into your workflow.
• Share specific examples of how you've used SQL queries to investigate and resolve issues.
• Highlight your problem-solving approach and how you collaborate with engineering teams.
• Talk about your familiarity with performance and security testing tools an

Side Notes:

• This role requires an engineering mindset. You’ll be expected to write test code, contribute to white-box testing, and proactively uncover issues not yet caught by others.
• You’ll also be responsible for architecting automation frameworks that the engineering team can build upon.
• We value creativity, initiative, and ownership—bring your ideas, question assumptions, and help us raise the quality bar.
• Most importantly, have fun while solving meaningful challenges.
