Who we are looking for: 

We are looking for a new QA Automation Engineer to join our team as we continue to expand our scope and features. The role involves maintaining and improving test coverage for a sophisticated Excel add-in and working with different platforms such as macOS, Windows, and web browsers. We need an automation test expert who will enhance the existing integration tests and create new end-to-end tests.  

Responsibilities: 

  • Identifying the most important single-module and cross-cutting testing scenarios. 

  • Documenting the scenarios as test cases. 

  • Development of integration/ end-to-end tests based on prepared test-cases. 

  • Maintenance of existing automated tests 

  • Exploratory manual testing without a predefined scenario. 

  • Working with the product manager and the developers to find the best testing opportunities at any given time. 

  • Prompt delivery of automated tests covering critical issues 

  • Submitting the discovered issues to a bug tracker with detailed and deterministic (where possible) steps to reproduce. 

  • Confirming and validating that the resolved issues have been corrected. 

Requirements: 

  • Good written communication skills in English. 

  • Working knowledge of SQL / JSON syntax, XML, XML Schema, XPath, HTML, CSS. 

  • Ability to read, understand and develop your own code in JavaScript/TypeScript  

  • Experience in writing automated testing scripts using Selenium Web Driver or alternatives

  • Proficient in using Git, skilled in creating YAML workflows in GitHub Actions. 

  • Supportive & synergetic team-player personality, a positive outlook, and excellent communication skills. 

  • Technical writing skills for producing clean and concise test-cases, which are simultaneously reasonably detailed and unambiguous. 

  • Write clean, readable, and maintainable code without overengineering things. 

  • This is a demanding job for self-starters without micro-management: you should be able to identify (and ask for) priorities and often, set your own tasks. 

Additional Preferred Qualifications 

  • A BSc / MSc degree in a STEM field. 

  • Experience working with business / ERP software. 

  • Database and Web API testing skills using DBMS queries and REST clients such as Postman. 

  • Working knowledge of Excel object model 

Terms: 

  • Full-time for Canadian citizens; for overseas candidates, an hourly arrangement with at least 35 hours / week availability. 

  • 100% remote environment with flexible working hours. Your schedule should still be reasonably predictable and responsiveness in communications is a must. You should be able to provide at least 3 hours overlap with the EST (Montreal) time zone. 

  • A stable internet connection and videoconferencing capability is required (with camera on).
