Associate QA Engineer

Role Overview

We're looking for a QA Engineer who owns quality end-to-end — someone who doesn't just find bugs, but prevents them from shipping. You'll test a multi-tenant event management platform used by thousands of organizers, covering payments, live streaming, registrations, and integrations where failures have real customer impact.

Responsibilities

• Own test strategy for features from requirement review through release
• Build and maintain automated regression suites; keep flaky tests out of the pipeline
• Perform functional, regression, exploratory, and smoke testing across web and API layers
• Use AI tooling to accelerate test design and coverage analysis, while applying your own judgment on what actually needs human eyes
• Reproduce, isolate, and report bugs with the detail developers need to fix them fast
• Collaborate with developers and PMs during design — flag testability and edge-case risks before code is written
• Contribute to release sign-off decisions with data, not gut feel

Requirements

• 2–4 years in Software Quality Assurance, with hands-on automation experience
• Test automation with Playwright (preferred) or Cypress/Selenium — able to write and maintain suites independently
• Strong manual and exploratory testing fundamentals
• API testing (Postman/Bruno) including auth flows, webhooks, and negative scenarios
• AI-assisted testing workflows — using tools like Claude, Copilot, or similar
• Bug tracking and sprint workflows in Linear/Jira
• Understanding of CI/CD basics
• Strong analytical and written communication skills

Nice to Have

• Experience testing payment gateways, subscriptions, or billing flows
• Performance/load testing exposure (k6, JMeter)
• Experience with event-driven systems, webhooks, or third-party API integrations
• Mobile/responsive web testing

Skills

• Playwright
• Cypress
• Postman
• CI/CD
• Selenium
