The role

About the company
A well-established US education-technology company with a global presence, providing digital learning content and platforms to a large user base for over two decades. Distributed, international team working on products used by millions of active users worldwide.

About the role
Senior QA Engineer with Automation needed to join the Engineering team. This is a QA role with a meaningful automation component: the focus is on strong testing fundamentals, solid software design foundations, and identifying where automation adds real value, rather than a pure automation-first approach.

The role involves testing complex integrated web applications across both UI and API layers. Initially, most of the work will be manual QA; in the mid term, the expected split is roughly 70/30 automation-to-manual.

What you'll do

UI and API testing of complex integrated web applications
Developing and refining test plans
Writing and maintaining automated tests, primarily using Cypress
Close collaboration with developers in an Agile environment
Tracking and managing test cases using JIRA, TestRail, and Qmetry
Identifying areas where manual testing processes can be automated for reliability and maintainability

What's Offered

Contract type: Independent contractor (sole proprietor / IP), incubator arrangements are not accepted.
