Senior Quality Assurance Engineer
About The Position
The Senior Quality Assurance Engineer will initially be highly hands-on, working closely with Product and Engineering to develop a deep understanding of the platform, payroll integrations, and underlying business processes. The role owns testing strategy and execution, identifies opportunities to improve automation and test coverage, and helps establish scalable QA processes as the internal engineering team grows. The successful candidate will perform hands-on testing across the platform, with particular focus on payroll integrations and associated workflows. They will design and execute functional, regression, integration, API, and end-to-end tests; build and maintain automated coverage; validate backend and database data; and integrate automated testing into CI/CD and development workflows. The role also assesses QA processes and coverage, owns defect management through resolution, and works with Product, Engineering, and business stakeholders to support quality throughout the development lifecycle. As the function grows, the engineer may support and mentor additional QA team members.
