About The Position

We’re looking for a QA Engineer to support our client in the Accounts Receivable and Payments space. This role involves owning end-to-end quality across agile product squads. You’ll work closely with engineers, product managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to enhance automation coverage, drive exploratory testing, and elevate the team’s overall quality discipline. In this role, you will go beyond test execution—taking ownership of QA processes, contributing to test strategy, and helping shape best practices. You’ll be expected to develop a deep understanding of the product, advocate for quality across the SDLC, and proactively identify gaps to improve overall test effectiveness. The ideal candidate has strong experience with Cypress and Playwright, a solid understanding of Ruby on Rails, and a collaborative, ownership-driven mindset with a strong attention to detail.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with Selenium or other testing frameworks (e.g., JUnit, TestNG)
