QA Engineer
Requirements and responsibilities
Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.
Responsibilities
- Ensure features are built to match product requirements and acceptance criteria
- Verify features are working correctly and free of bugs before release
- Own production smoke testing after every deploy and flag regressions quickly
- Identify, document, and track defects through to resolution
- Build and maintain test plans, test cases, and QA documentation
- Partner with developers and product to catch issues early in the cycle, not after release
- Eventually introduce and own automated testing as the platform and team grow
What We're Looking For
- Technically minded — understands software beyond the UI and can reason about how systems work
- Ability to dig into technical issues, not just surface-level UI bugs
- Strong communicator who can bridge product and engineering
- Detail-oriented and proactive — actively seeks out issues rather than waiting for them to surface
- Confident pushing back when something isn't right
- Good team player
What We're Looking For
- Deep payroll, HR, or benefits domain experience — candidates with a background in payroll operations, HR tech, benefits administration, or 401(k), combined with technical aptitude, are strongly encouraged to apply. Understanding how the system should behave is often more valuable than knowing how to test it
- Software development background — hands-on experience writing or reading code in any language. Understanding how code works, not just how to break it
- QA experience — manual testing, test case design, defect tracking, or experience as the first/solo QA at a company
- Test automation experience — Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or similar. We'll get there, and we'd value someone who can lead that effort
- API testing (Postman or similar)
- SQL comfort for verifying data behind the UI
- Prior experience in a fast-moving tech environment
