QA Engineer / Functional & Automation / (Bilingual ES/EN)

This is a remote position.

Work Mode: Remote (Colombia/LATAM) · Full‑time
Start: Immediate
Languages: Spanish (native) and English B2, C1 preferred**** for documentation and demos.

Role Summary

This is an engineering position. You will ensure end‑to‑end quality for custom software projects by designing, coding, and maintaining automated tests (UI/API) while executing focused manual testing where it adds the most value. You will leverage AI (LLMs/Copilot) to accelerate test design, data generation, scripting, and log analysis.

Responsibilities

• Own the test strategy and pyramid (unit signals from dev teams, API and E2E focus in QA).

• Build and maintain automation frameworks in Playwright (TypeScript) or Cypress ; structure page objects, fixtures, and utilities.

• Design E2E/UI/API/contract tests; manage test data , mocking/stubbing, and environment configs.

• Integrate suites with CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps), enable parallel runs, artifacts, and quality gates.

• Execute targeted manual testing (exploratory, UAT, regression) and produce reproducible evidence.

• Drive defect triage and root‑cause analysis with engineering; reduce flakiness via robust waits/retries and observability.

• Track quality metrics (defect leakage, MTTR, coverage on critical paths) and report trends.

• AI in QA: generate/refine BDD cases, selectors, synthetic data, draft scripts; summarize logs and propose failure hypotheses.

Nice to Have

• Contract testing (e.g., Pact), visual testing (Applitools), performance basics (k6/JMeter), mobile testing.

• Python basics, Docker for local/CI runners, TestRail/Allure/Xray reporting.

• Familiarity with Zoho (Projects/Desk/Analytics) or Jira/Confluence.

Tooling

Playwright, Cypress, Postman/Newman, GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps, Git, Docker (basic), Allure/TestRail (or similar), Miro/Confluence/Notion, Figma (review prototypes).

Requirements

• **3+ years ** as ** QA Engineer/Software Engineer in Test ** for custom software or SaaS.

• Strong ** TypeScript/JavaScript ** skills; hands‑on with ** Playwright or Cypress ** .

• Solid ** API testing ** (Postman/Newman/Insomnia), JSON/HTTP; ** basic SQL ** for validations.

• Experience with ** Git ** , branching strategies, and reading CI pipelines.

• Practice with ** BDD ** (Given/When/Then) and translating acceptance criteria into automated checks.

• Demonstrated use of ** AI tools ** (ChatGPT/Copilot or similar) to speed up QA with concrete examples.

Benefits

• **Contract: ** Employee.

• **Compensation: ** Competitive, based on experience ( ** include salary expectations ** ).

• **Benefits: ** remote work, flexible hours, training in AI/automation, career growth.
