About The Position

Braille Works is seeking a Senior QA Tester to be a hands-on quality owner for an emerging automation platform that remediates complex documents into accessible outputs. This role involves a mix of manual and automation-supported testing, including high-skill exploratory testing, creating and maintaining formal test cases, and contributing to automated testing within an existing Playwright (C#) framework. The ideal candidate will possess strong judgment, excellent communication skills, and comfort operating in ambiguity as features evolve.

Requirements

Strong exploratory testing skills and the ability to design scenarios that uncover edge cases and workflow failures.
Strong defect communication: reproducible bugs, strong evidence, clear impact.
Experience contributing automated tests within an existing automation framework.
Practical experience with test automation tools (Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress), with strong preference for Playwright (C#) or demonstrated ability to ramp quickly.
Experience creating and maintaining formal test cases and test documentation.

Responsibilities

Perform scenario-based and exploratory testing across complex workflows, including edge cases and variability common to document remediation.
Verify remediation outputs for accuracy and usability, including output consistency across repeated runs and differing inputs.
Execute end-to-end workflow validation (from inputs through outputs), ensuring defects are caught before they become production support issues.
Contribute automated tests to an existing Playwright (C#) framework, prioritizing UI workflow automation, API validation, and screenshot/visual comparisons.
Identify and help reduce flaky tests by improving test design, test data, and assertions; coordinate with the SDET II for framework-level changes when needed.
Expand regression automation with a focus on test value: coverage that reliably prevents repeat defects and reduces manual regression effort.
Create and maintain formal test cases using Jira-based tooling.
Keep test assets current as features evolve, with an emphasis on clarity, reuse, and maintainability.
Write high-signal defects that enable fast fixes: clear reproduction steps, expected vs. actual results, and supporting evidence (screenshots, logs, sample files, and environment details).
Partner closely with the SDET, QA peers, and Support Specialists to reproduce issues, validate fixes, and prevent repeat problems.
Participate in planning/refinement to identify risk early, clarify requirements, and ensure testability is built into the work.
May mentor junior QA testers.
