You are expected to have a deep understanding of how our system components interact and how to identify edge cases that others might miss.
This is a freelance/contractor role - 1099.
Responsibilities:
End-to-End Ownership: Take full ownership of testing for specific features or modules, from initial requirement analysis to final release.
Test Strategy & Design: Create sophisticated test strategies that go beyond "happy paths," incorporating negative testing, boundary analysis, and error handling.
Automation Development: Write and maintain reliable automated scripts within our framework (e.g., Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress). You will help reduce manual regression efforts by identifying high-value automation targets.
API Testing: Perform deep-dive testing of RESTful APIs using tools like Postman or Charles Proxy to validate data integrity and system integration.
Defect Management: Act as a "Quality Advocate" by not just reporting bugs, but investigating root causes and providing developers with detailed logs and reproduction steps.
Collaboration: Work closely with Product Managers to refine User Stories and acceptance criteria, ensuring requirements are clear and testable.
Mentorship: Provide guidance and peer reviews for junior QA members' test cases and automation code.
Qualifications:
Experience: 3-5 years of professional experience in software quality assurance.
Willingness to be on-site for project kick-offs and check-ins at our office in Encinitas, CA.
Automation: Proven experience writing automated tests (not just executing them). Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., JavaScript, Python, or Java).
Testing Lifecycle: Strong mastery of the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) and how it integrates into Agile/Scrum environments.
Tooling: Expert-level knowledge of Jira, TestRail (or similar), and Git for version control.
Database: Ability to write complex SQL queries to verify data persistence and perform backend validation.
CI/CD: Basic understanding of how testing fits into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab).
Soft Skills:
Critical Thinking: The ability to look at a feature and ask, "What happens if the user does
this
?"
Adaptability: Comfortable switching between manual exploratory testing and technical automation tasks as the sprint requires.
Communication: Ability to explain technical defects to non-technical stakeholders and advocate for quality when deadlines are tight. Proactive communication - both written and verbal!
