QA Engineer

This is a hands-on product QA role. You should enjoy exploratory testing, breaking software, understanding how systems work, and working closely with engineers. You'll be testing an AI workflow platform used to build and deploy production AI applications. You'll work closely with engineers and product managers to uncover edge cases across our visual workflow builder, APIs, integrations, and AI-powered workflows. This role focuses on hands-on testing, test case creation, and detailed reporting to maintain high standards of software quality.

Responsibilities:

• Test Planning and Design: Create detailed, comprehensive, and well-structured test plans and test cases based on product requirements and specifications.
• Manual Testing: Execute manual test cases to verify the functionality, usability, and performance of software applications across various platforms and devices.
• Defect Identification and Reporting: Identify, document, and track defects using bug-tracking tools (e. g., Jira, Linear), providing clear and detailed reproduction steps.
• Collaboration: Work closely with developers and product managers to understand requirements, provide feedback, and ensure defects are resolved effectively.
• Regression Testing: Perform regression testing to ensure new changes do not negatively impact existing functionality.
• User Acceptance Testing: Support user acceptance testing (UAT) by preparing test scenarios and assisting end-users during testing phases.
• Documentation: Maintain accurate and up-to-date test documentation, including test cases, test results, and defect reports.
• Quality Advocacy: Advocate for quality throughout the software development lifecycle, ensuring adherence to best practices and standards.

Requirements:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, including functional, regression, and exploratory testing.
• Familiarity with bug-tracking tools (e. g., Jira, Bugzilla).
• Basic knowledge of software development processes.

Soft Skills:

• Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication skills to articulate defects and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience testing web and/or mobile applications.
• Familiarity with basic scripting or automation tools (e. g., Selenium, Postman) is a plus but not required.
• Knowledge of SQL for database testing is an advantage.
