About the Role
BlueOcean Tech Services is hiring an experienced QA Engineer / QA Tester to help ensure that software products delivered to international technology and AI clients are reliable, stable and production-ready.
This role requires someone who is highly detail-oriented but can also work at speed. You should be comfortable testing web, mobile, API and AI-enabled products, identifying risks before release and working closely with engineering, product and DevOps teams to prevent avoidable production defects.
What You’ll Do
Develop and execute test plans, test cases, regression suites and release checklists.
Test web applications, mobile applications, APIs, dashboards, integrations and AI-enabled workflows.
Identify, reproduce, document, prioritise and track defects.
Perform functional, regression, smoke, exploratory, usability and cross-browser testing.
Work closely with engineers, designers, product managers and DevOps teams.
Validate fixes and perform regression testing to prevent recurring defects.
Support release-readiness and production-quality checks.
Build and maintain automated tests where appropriate.
Continuously improve QA processes, test documentation and product-quality practices.
What We’re Looking For
4+ years of professional QA/software-testing experience.
Strong hands-on manual testing experience across web and/or mobile products.
Experience testing APIs using Postman, Insomnia, Swagger or similar tools.
Experience with test-case management and bug-tracking systems.
Strong understanding of regression testing, acceptance criteria, release testing and defect lifecycle.
Experience with automation tools such as Cypress, Playwright, Selenium or Appium is strongly preferred.
Excellent attention to detail and structured documentation skills.
Excellent written and spoken English.
Experience testing AI products, SaaS platforms, fintech, marketplaces or enterprise software is an advantage.
You’ll Thrive Here If You
Find issues before users do.
Can document defects clearly using reproduction steps, screenshots, videos, logs and appropriate severity.
Understand product risk and know what should be prioritised.
Can work quickly without sacrificing testing quality.
Are comfortable challenging unclear requirements.
Take ownership and communicate proactively.
Can work effectively with international and US-based teams.
Are comfortable overlapping with US working hours when required.
Have reliable internet, power backup and a suitable remote-work setup.
Are willing to complete practical assessments as part of the hiring process.
