Our clients range from Fortune 500 companies to fast-growing startups, relying on us to build high-performance infrastructure, optimize cloud environments, and enable continuous delivery at scale.


About the role

Our client is a Canadian-based financial technology company that specializes in accounts receivable software.

We’re looking for a QA Engineer to support our client in the Accounts Receivable and Payments space. This role involves owning end-to-end quality across agile product squads. You’ll work closely with engineers, product managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to enhance automation coverage, drive exploratory testing, and elevate the team’s overall quality discipline.

In this role, you will go beyond test execution—taking ownership of QA processes, contributing to test strategy, and helping shape best practices. You’ll be expected to develop a deep understanding of the product, advocate for quality across the SDLC, and proactively identify gaps to improve overall test effectiveness.

The ideal candidate has strong experience with Cypress and Playwright, a solid understanding of Ruby on Rails, and a collaborative, ownership-driven mindset with a strong attention to detail.



What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain Cypress/Playwright automated test suites
  • Design and execute test strategies, test cases, and regression coverage across features
  • Collaborate with engineers to review PRs and assess unit/integration test coverage
  • Conduct manual and exploratory testing across features, workflows, and edge cases
  • Identify, document, and track bugs, usability issues, and gaps in coverage
  • Own QA processes by identifying gaps and contributing to continuous improvement and best practices
  • Contribute to QA strategy, sprint planning, and agile ceremonies
  • Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and other stakeholders to improve test effectiveness and coverage
  • Maintain and document regression suites and critical workflows across releases
  • Monitor CI pipelines and triage failures related to QA automation



What We’re Looking For

Must-Have Skills:

  • 3+ years of QA experience in web application testing (manual + automation)
  • Strong experience with different testing types (e.g., integration, regression, black-box, exploratory)
  • Background in API testing (e.g., Postman, REST Assured)
  • Hands-on experience with Cypress and Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript)
  • Strong understanding of Ruby on Rails codebases (comfortable reading and debugging)
  • Experience designing test cases and contributing to test strategy
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD workflows and QA ownership in agile environments
  • Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and test management tools (e.g., Jira, TestRail)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify edge cases
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills



Nice-to-Have Skills:

  • Familiarity with Selenium or other testing frameworks (e.g., JUnit, TestNG)
  • Experience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React)
  • Exposure to performance, security, or load testing
  • Experience in FinTech or payments systems (PCI/DSS exposure is a plus)
  • Knowledge of exploratory and shift-left testing approaches
  • Familiarity with databases (e.g., MySQL, Postgres) and general system architecture
  • AI experience is a plus.


Our recruitment process

  • Recruiter Interview (30 min)
  • Technical Interview (30 min)
  • Client - QA-Focused Assessment / Code Review
  • Client - Panel Interview

We strive to move efficiently from step to step to make the recruitment process as fast as possible.


What we offer

  • Totally remote, full-time (40h/week)
  • Work hours - 9 AM-6 PM EST working hours
  • Long-term, no-end-date Independent contractor agreement
  • Payment in USD, biweekly or monthly - your choice
