The job, in the employer's words
Quality Assurance Engineer (Manual + Automation | SaaS) – Remote
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote

About the Role
We’re hiring a Quality Assurance Engineer (QA Tester) to ensure software is fully tested, reliable, and production-ready before release.
This role blends:
- Manual testing

You will act as the final quality gate — catching issues before users ever see them.
If you’re someone who:
- Finds edge cases others miss
- Writes clean, structured test cases
- Cares about product quality
This role fits you well.

- Postman
- Support security testing and vulnerability checks
Documentation & Reporting
- Maintain:
- Test cases

- Report insights and risks to stakeholders
Collaboration (Critical)
- Work closely with developers to:
- Reproduce bugs
- Identify root causes
- Participate in:
- Sprint planning
- Standups
- Retrospectives
- Advocate for quality across the SDLC
What Makes You a Strong Fit
- You catch edge cases others miss
- You write clear, structured test cases
- You balance speed with thoroughness
- You communicate issues clearly to developers
- You take ownership of product quality

What a Typical Day Looks Like

- Execute manual and automated tests
- Log and track bugs with clear documentation
- Collaborate with developers on fixes
- Validate builds and regression results
- Report quality metrics and risks
In short:
You ensure nothing broken reaches production.
Key Metrics (KPIs)
- Defects caught before release
