QA Engineer

Aderant•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

As a QA Engineer, you will help ensure the quality of Aderant’s legal software across its practice-of-law products. You will test assigned product areas through manual verification and exploratory testing, automation and gated tests, test plans, performance and load testing, product integration testing, and production feature-flag testing. You will help determine whether releases are ready to roll out and work with developers, architects, QA engineers, product owners, and support staff.

Requirements

3–5 years of experience in software QA, including at least 2 years writing automated tests.
Hands-on experience with a modern UI automation framework; Playwright is preferred.
Experience testing REST APIs using Postman, Playwright request, or code-based tests, and reading request/response payloads in browser DevTools.
Working knowledge of SQL for checking data and setting up test conditions.
Experience with Git, pull requests, and running tests in CI pipelines.
Solid understanding of test design, including equivalence partitioning, boundary values, state transitions, and risk-based prioritization.
Comfort with manual and exploratory testing and sound judgment about when to use each approach.
Clear written communication, including actionable bug reports and summaries for managers.
A working habit of using AI coding assistants to speed up test creation and investigation.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Jest or similar unit-test frameworks and with mocking or stubbing backends.
Knowledge of C# scripting and TypeScript for writing and maintaining test automation.
Experience with contract testing, such as consumer-driven contracts or schema validation, or testing third-party integrations.
Experience with performance or load testing tools such as k6 or JMeter.
Experience with Azure DevOps Boards and Test Cases, and Azure-hosted environments.
Experience with SSO, OAuth, or OIDC login flows and multi-tenant SaaS configuration.
Familiarity with legal or professional-services software.

Responsibilities

Plan feature and release testing by translating requirements and user stories into test cases, identifying risks and edge cases, and recommending what to automate versus test manually.
Build and maintain automated web end-to-end, API, contract, and unit-level tests in collaboration with developers.
Perform manual and exploratory testing, including release checklists, regression passes, and structured sessions in QA environments.
Test integrations across databases, connectors, identity and single sign-on systems, and other Aderant products, verifying data flows, contracts, and failure behavior.
Contribute to non-functional testing, including performance, load, and resilience scenarios with measurable pass criteria.
Maintain reliable automation by fixing flaky tests, avoiding dependencies on shared accounts and preset configurations, and managing test data to prevent interference between runs.
Help integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines so appropriate suites run on pull requests, nightly, and before releases.
Log reproducible defects with evidence, track test cases and results in Azure DevOps, and communicate coverage, results, and risks to technical and non-technical audiences.
Coordinate with developers and operations across development, QA, and staging environments on setup, backend support, test accounts, and configuration.
Learn the products, environments, and existing test suites; independently run release manual verification and deliver initial automated tests and fixes for flaky tests.
Become the primary tester for a product area, add automated coverage for previously manual-only paths, and maintain reliable CI test runs.
Contribute improvements to integration, database, or performance testing and share learning with newer QA engineers.
