Mid-Level Software Quality Assurance Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION

Job Title: Mid-Level Software Quality Assurance Engineer

Reports to: Chief Technology Officer

Location: Hybrid - Remote Experience Level: Mid-Level (5–8 years)

Department: Software/IT

FLSA: [Exempt][Non-Exempt] Status: Full time

We're a small engineering team that ships a lot — Blazor web apps, REST APIs, desktop tools, and integrations across CRM, manufacturing analytics, order management, and engineering software. We need a quality-minded engineer who can be the first and last line of defense before our customers see a release.

This is not a button-clicking role. We want someone who thinks like a developer, breaks things on purpose, and turns "it works on my machine" into "it works for everyone."

Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities:

• Own the test strategy across our web, API, and desktop applications.
• Write and maintain automated test suites — UI, API, and integration — that run in CI on every pull request.
• Perform exploratory and regression testing on new features before release.
• Build and curate test data, environments, and fixtures so testing is repeatable.
• Investigate bugs deeply: reproduce reliably, isolate root causes, and write reports developers actually enjoy reading.
• Partner with engineering on definition of done — pushing back when "done" isn't actually done.
• Drive improvements in our release process, test coverage metrics, and bug triage.
• Help shape a culture where quality is everyone's job — not just yours.

Our Tech Stack (What You'll Be Testing):

• Web: Blazor Server applications, ASP.NET Core APIs
• Desktop: WPF tools, Revit add-ins, internal utilities
• Data: MongoDB Atlas, Redis
• Cloud: AWS (ECS Fargate, S3, CloudWatch)
• CI/CD: Azure DevOps, Docker
• Source control: GitHub

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
• 5–8 years of professional QA experience on web and/or enterprise software.
• Strong experience writing automated tests with at least one modern framework (Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar).
• Hands-on experience testing REST APIs with tools like Postman, Insomnia, or code-based clients (RestSharp, HttpClient).
• Comfortable writing NoSQL queries to verify data behind the UI.
• Day-to-day fluency with Git and GitHub — pulling branches, reviewing diffs, filing well-scoped issues.
• Proficient with a modern editor or IDE (Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, or similar) — you can read code, even if you don't write production code daily.
• Excellent written communication — bug reports, test plans, and release notes that don't need a translator.
• A relentless attention to detail balanced with a sense of what's worth testing.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience testing Blazor, ASP.NET Core, or other C#/.NET applications.
• Comfort writing tests in C# (xUnit, NUnit, MSTest, bUnit, or Playwright for .NET).
• Familiarity with AWS environments — pulling logs from CloudWatch, inspecting S3 contents, hitting ECS-hosted services.
• Experience with MongoDB or other NoSQL databases.
• Performance and load testing experience (k6, JMeter, NBomber).
• Mobile or iOS testing experience — particularly Apple Swift apps or hybrid mobile clients.
• Background in manufacturing, construction, engineering, or B2B software domains.
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps pipelines, GitHub Actions, or other CI/CD systems.

Accessibility (WCAG) and security testing experience.

What We Look For:

The best QA engineers we've worked with share a few traits:

• They are curious — they ask "what happens if…" before anyone else does.
• They are technical — comfortable in a terminal, in a database, and in someone else's codebase.
• They are diplomatic but firm — they push for quality without making it personal.
• They automate the boring — and use the time saved to find the weird stuff our customer will hit.

They take ownership of release quality without needing to be asked twice.

Compensation:

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Health, dental, and vision coverage
• Retirement plan with employer contribution
• Paid time off and holidays
