About the Role:
We are looking for a QA Engineer with strong automation skills to help ensure the reliability and quality of our customer-facing platforms and internal systems.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on automating tests, improving system reliability, and preventing issues before they reach users. You will work closely with backend engineers, frontend engineers, product managers, and infrastructure across multiple products.
This role is ideal for someone who takes ownership, thinks like an engineer, and enjoys designing robust automated testing systems - not just executing manual test cases.
Key Responsibilities:
1) Test Automation & Quality Engineering
Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites for backend and frontend systems
Write integration, end-to-end, and regression tests using modern automation frameworks
Expand and improve our automated test coverage across services and applications
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
Use AI-assisted tools where useful to accelerate test design, debugging, documentation, and investigation
2) System Reliability & Investigation
Identify bugs, regressions, and edge cases before they reach production
Investigate issues across distributed systems, APIs, queues, and databases
Reproduce issues reliably and provide clear technical documentation for engineering teams
Validate fixes and ensure long-term stability
3) Collaboration & Ownership
Work closely with engineers to improve testability and quality across services
Help define testing strategies for new features and systems
Ensure customer-facing functionality behaves reliably under real-world conditions
Contribute to improving QA processes, tooling, and standards
Our Stack & Tools:

Must-Have Qualifications:
5+ years of total software engineering or QA experience
Recent 2+ years of hands-on QA experience with automation as a primary responsibility
Strong experience writing automated tests (not only manual testing)
Strong programming ability (TypeScript and/or Python)
Experience testing APIs, backend systems, and distributed services
Experience with automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Pytest, or equivalents
Ability to independently investigate technical issues across systems
Strong ownership mindset and ability to work autonomously in a remote environment
Fluent English communication
Based in a Latin American country
Available to work full-time from 9 am to 6 pm EST and more if needed
Strong Plus Qualifications:
Experience testing Python-based backend systems
Experience working with AWS environments
Experience testing microservices architectures
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing integration
Experience with system-level testing (queues, async systems, distributed systems)
Experience working in startup environments
Software development background
What Success Looks Like in This Role:
Within the first months, you will:
Expand automated test coverage across critical systems
Identify and prevent production issues before they impact users
Help improve overall system reliability and quality
Reduce manual testing workload through automation
Strengthen QA engineering standards across teams
