We Work Remotely
We are hiring a QA automation engineer, to help increase the quality of our product Form Publisher to the level that our customers deserve. Our QA stack is brand new, made with NodeJS, Playwright, Selenium for older browser compatibility and Github Actions.

Our applications consist of multiple artifacts: Google Workspace add-ons, traditional web apps, marketing websites. Add-ons in particular live inside Google’s own products, which makes for interesting QA challenges. They are built with React, Typescript, Google Apps Script, Firebase, Node JS, Java and PostgreSQL. Everything is on Google Cloud Platform.


Your responsibilities:
  • Gradually put in place our QA strategy and implementation
  • Create test automation frameworks for UI/API testing
  • Design test plans and test cases for new and existing features
  • Plan and coordinate testing activities around releases

  • Identify, report and track product defects
  • Help in root cause analysis

  • You have a passion for quality assurance and strong attention to details
  • You are relentless, and don’t let things slip through the cracks easily

  • You embrace the Modern Testing principles
  • You’ve done it before
  • You’re a team player 
  • Bonus: you’re a team leader

Your qualifications:
  • Experience: 5+ years as a QA engineer preferably on SaaS products with many users. 
  • QA frameworks: deep knowledge of at least 2 testing frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Puppeteer. Experience with visual diff testing a plus
  • Software engineering: experience with NodeJS, build tools, CI/CD pipelines
  • Cloud: you have experience with one of the 3 main cloud platforms. Bonus points for GCP and serverless experience
  • Project tracking tools: proficiency with spreadsheets, Github, Jira and other typical software engineering tools
  • Language: fluent English
  • Writing: you enjoy writing, you care about words and grammar, you are sharp and thorough

Benefits:
  • A good compensation that gives you financial peace of mind, wherever you live
  • 30 days of paid time off including national holidays
  • Medical, dental and vision insurance (depending on the type of contract)
  • Paid parental leave

How to apply:
We want to get a sense of how you write and think. To that end, please write an email that covers at least the following:
  • Tell us why you want this job, and why our products are interesting to you
  • Tell us about an interesting/challenging test case you had to build
  • Include a link to something you're proud of having written online (or copy/paste if not public - we won't share)
Working with us requires a lot of writing/communicating, so please use your application to show off those skills.

Interview process:
  • We will first ask you a few targeted questions to be answered by email so as to get acquainted with you in writing
  • If that goes well, we’ll send you a take-at-home technical test that should take 3-4 hours to complete
  • You’ll then move on to an interview with a Lead Engineer
  • Finally, an interview with the CTO

  • We can’t wait to hear from you!
