What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Development Quality Engineer position at Bouncie?
As a QA Engineer on our team, you'll test both backend API services and frontend web clients through a mix of automation and manual testing. You'll help us continue developing our CI/CD capabilities and pioneer strategies for reducing manual testing load. For us, "quality" means attention to detail, correctness, and strong error handling and recovery. You'll be embedded within a fully remote engineering team working on an e-commerce platform, working closely with developers to shape our testing strategy. We're open to candidates from mid-level through senior — the key trait we're looking for is someone who takes initiative to identify gaps and build solutions rather than waiting to be told what to test.
Responsibilities- Design and build automated test suites for APIs and backend services (functional, regression, integration)
- Design and build browser automation tests for frontend client applications (e.g., using Playwright or Cypress)
- Work with engineers to define test strategy and acceptance criteria before features ship
- Propose and drive adoption of new testing practices and tooling, not just executing existing plans
- Improve test coverage and reduce manual QA load over time through CI/CD improvements
- Collaborate closely with developers to identify edge cases and failure modes early in the development cycle
- Generate test plans based on ticket acceptance criteria
- Verify successful production releases
- Must have:
- Experience writing automated tests for both backend services and frontend web applications, including hands-on experience with a browser automation framework (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium)
- Comfort reading and writing code for Node/JS/TS applications
- Strong debugging and root-cause investigation skills
- Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
- Willingness to use AI tooling
- Nice to have:
- Experience using AI tools for test generation, code review, or debugging workflows
- Security testing exposure
- Experience with test case management software (Testmo, TestRail, etc)
