Title: Technical Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer
Terms: TTP (6-month contract to start)
Pay Rate: $46/hr. - $56/hr.
Location: Atlanta, GA (Hybrid/Remote)
Overview:
Dice’s SaaS customer is looking for a Technical Quality Assurance Engineer to join their product and engineering team. This role will take ownership of testing, quality control, and release validation across our platform. You’ll work closely with developers, product managers, and support to identify defects early, test complex workflows end-to-end, and expand automated testing to improve release confidence.
This isn’t just manual click-through testing — we are seeking someone who can go deeper into API logic, data validation, backend workflows, and automated regression.
Responsibilities
- Develop and execute detailed test cases, test plans, and regression suites
- Perform functional, integration, API, and end-to-end testing across web and mobile
- Validate technical workflows involving data, business logic, and system integrations
- Use SQL/queries to inspect and verify data integrity
- Test and validate API endpoints using tools like Postman or Insomnia
- Identify, document, and track defects with clear reproduction steps and evidence
- Collaborate with developers to resolve issues quickly and improve testability
- Build and maintain automated regression tests over time (Cypress/Playwright/Selenium/etc.)
- Participate in sprint reviews, release sign-offs, standups, and planning sessions
- Help design acceptance criteria for new features to ensure testability
- Continuously work to improve QA processes, coverage, and stability
Requirements
- 2 years of experience in Quality Assurance or Software Testing
- Ability to test beyond UI — APIs, data, workflows, edge cases
- Experience with SQL or similar for data verification
- Familiarity with QA methodologies, SDLC, and Agile environments
- Ability to reproduce and communicate complex technical issues clearly
- Experience with test automation frameworks (Cypress/Playwright/Selenium) preferred
- Experience with CI/CD integration or scripting is a plus
- Strong experience with frontend/manual testing
- Strong analytical mindset, curiosity, and attention to detail
What You’ll Bring
- A technical approach to testing — not just surface-level validation
- Ability to think through logic, negative scenarios, and edge cases
- A proactive mindset toward preventing defects rather than catching them late
- Motivation to build automation and improve testing efficiency over time
- Ownership of quality across the product lifecycle
Why Join?
- You’ll shape the QA function from the ground up
- Your work will directly influence release reliability and customer satisfaction
- Work closely with engineering, product, and support teams
- Build automation that reduces cycle time and increases velocity
- Be part of a team that ships fast — but safely
