What You’ll Do
Deliver Reliable Releases
• Create, maintain, and improve end‑to‑end tests in Cypress or Playwright for our Vue frontend and Laravel backend.
• Take ownership of the QA pipeline—pick the right blend of component, integration, contract, and smoke tests, and keep flaky tests under control.
• Perform manual exploratory testing when automation can’t cover unusual UX, tricky edge cases, or browser‑specific issues.
• Integrate tests into CI/CD through GitHub Actions, ensuring every merge and deployment is fully validated.

Promote Quality from the Start
• Participate early in feature planning to refine acceptance criteria and propose test hooks.
• Identify process gaps and suggest enhancements such as improved test data, logging, or accessibility checks.
• Help developers write basic tests so you can focus on more complex scenarios.

Keep the User Front and Center
• Validate cross‑browser behavior, mobile breakpoints, performance issues, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility.
• Anticipate user behavior and test the paths they are likely to take.

Types of Challenges You’ll Tackle
• Large‑scale localization—every major page is translated into 52+ languages; your tests keep layouts, content, and i18n keys stable.
• Multi‑device experience—ensure seamless interaction from low‑end phones to high‑resolution desktops.
• Personality‑based personalization—confirm that different personality types and languages receive the proper tailored content.
• Protecting Web Vitals—run automated Lighthouse and PageSpeed tests, flag regressions, and work with developers to keep performance on track.

• Experience with component testing tools such as Vitest

• Visual regression testing experience (Percy, Playwright + PixelMatch, etc.)
• Performance testing experience (Lighthouse CI, k6)
• Accessibility tools such as axe‑core or pa11y
• Knowledge of Pest or PHPUnit

What We Offer
• Genuine remote flexibility—work from anywhere and build a schedule that fits your life.
• Competitive compensation—$60k–$95k salary or $50–$70 hourly, with room for exceptional candidates.

• Autonomy—you’re free to experiment, improve tooling, and strengthen test suites.
• Growth opportunities—lead QA strategy, explore DevOps, or expand backend test coverage.
