Senior QA engineer (USA)

Descripción del puesto

We are looking for a Senior Software Quality Engineer, you’ll define and drive the strategy and execution of software quality initiatives across our application engineering and services teams.

You’ll design and maintain scalable, AI-augmented test frameworks, embed automated quality checks into CI/CD pipelines, and help define what “great” looks like in a modern SaaS engineering practice. You’ll also work in environments enhanced by agentic AI tools like Cursor and Visual Studio Code, collaborating with AI copilots to move faster and smarter.

This isn’t your traditional QA role. You can contribute to the codebase, submit PRs, and build intelligent systems that surface and prevent bugs before they make it to production. You’ll work closely with developers, product managers, and support engineers to elevate quality across the stack—from architecture to customer experience.

If you’re an engineer who thinks quality is the product, you’re obsessed with customer experience, and you enjoy writing just as much test logic as you do fixing bugs in app code—this is your role.

This is a fully remote based role, however candidates must be located in Argentina

Note: this is a long-term Independent Contractor position.

Note: Please submit your resume in English.

What you'll do

• Design and own QA strategies that support full lifecycle testing—from requirements to release—with scalability and customer value in mind
• Build and maintain test automation frameworks tightly integrated into CI/CD workflows
• Use agentic-AI and LLM-based copilots (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate test writing, defect triage, and exploratory testing
• Translate vague or incomplete requirements into robust test plans, test cases, and automation code
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and support teams to debug issues, contribute code-level fixes, and submit PRs that improve product stability and user trust
• Analyze bugs across layers (UI, services, integrations, data) to identify root causes and reduce regression risk
• Create dashboards and alerts that monitor application health and track quality trends
• Advocate for a test-first, automation-heavy mindset across the organization

Requisitos

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in software or quality engineering, with a strong foundation in coding and test automation
• Experience of end-to-end test platforms like Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
• Experience building or extending automation frameworks from the ground up (e.g., Pytest, JUnit, Mocha)
• Track record of contributing to production code—whether fixing bugs, writing internal tools, or enhancing developer workflows
• Fluency with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or other agentic AI IDEs)
• Proficiency in Python, Java, or Node.js (bonus if you’re comfortable navigating large codebases)
• Strong ability to analyze and break down product requirements into testable components
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (especially AWS), containers (e.g., Docker), and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
• Experience validating data quality and integrity—accuracy, completeness, uniqueness, consistency
• Comfort testing and automating REST APIs using Postman, Swagger, or direct cURL
• SQL expertise for data analysis and test validation
• Excellent debugging instincts and a relentless, proactive mindset for finding and fixing issues before customers do
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• Experience with SaaS and high-availability production environments
• Familiarity with tools like JIRA, Confluence, Git, Gitflow, GitHub/GitLab
• Experience working at a scaling startup
