Remote QA Tester (Washington State)
Job Description
Remote QA Tester (Washington State)
🌟 Can You Turn Bugs Into Breakthroughs?
Imagine waking up, powering up your laptop, and knowing the code you’ll test today will shape seamless experiences for thousands, without ever leaving your home. In this remote QA Tester role, your curiosity, precision, and critical eye won’t just keep things running—they’ll elevate every feature we ship to users across Washington State and beyond.
🚀 Your Impact
You’ll do much more than “find issues.” You’ll:
- 🧩 Pinpoint root causes—not just symptoms—ensuring solutions that stick.
- 🔗 Partner with engineering, product, and support teams to tighten every release cycle.
- 💡 Transform ambiguous requirements into actionable test scenarios that anticipate real-world user needs.
- ⚡ Turn routine regression cycles into launchpads for new ideas and stronger processes.
- 📝 Shape how we document, report, and learn from bugs—fueling smarter, faster product evolution.
- 🧭 Guide stakeholders through QA insights, influencing product roadmap prioritization and sprint reviews.
Your fingerprints will be everywhere, from the first ticket in Jira to that “all clear” message before launch day. The features you help release will reach tens of thousands, many of whom will never know your name, but will feel the difference in every click and tap.
🛠️ How You’ll Contribute
Every day, you’ll:
- 🧪 Design, execute, and automate test plans—making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
- 🧑💻 Collaborate in real time over Slack and Zoom, bridging teams with clear, actionable feedback.
- 🎯 Validate new features using both exploratory and scripted approaches.
- 🚦 Own the defect lifecycle—logging, tracking, and verifying fixes with clarity and context.
- 📊 Transform data into insight: share metrics, trends, and risks in ways that drive smarter decisions.
- 🗣️ Simplify complex technical findings—whether it’s for a senior engineer or someone new to QA.
Your insight will directly inform every go/no-go decision, from small hotfixes to major product launches.
🌐 How We Work (and What Makes Us Different)
We’re 100% remote, but you’ll never feel isolated. Our remote collaboration tools—think Jira, Notion, and Figma—make it easy to stay aligned and move quickly. You’ll:
- 🤝 Partner with teams across time zones (mostly PST-friendly hours) to deliver unified solutions.
- 💬 Share wins, lessons, and ideas openly—everyone’s voice matters here.
- 📅 Enjoy flexible scheduling, so you can focus deeply when you do your best work.
- 🧘♂️ Take breaks when you need them—no micromanagement, just trust.
This isn’t a place for checklist-followers. We trust you to ask questions, identify risks before anyone else, and drive continuous improvement, regardless of where you work from in Washington State.
🧰 The Tools That Power Your Day
We use modern, efficient tech to keep things moving. You’ll get hands-on with:
- Jira for backlog workflows, sprint planning, and tracking every test case.
- Utilize TestRail (or a similar tool) to streamline and document your testing process.
- Selenium and other automation frameworks to take repetitive tasks off your plate.
- Slack, Zoom, and Loom for seamless communication and instant feedback.
- Analytics tools that turn QA results into product insights.
Already a pro in these tools? Great. New to one or two? You’ll learn fast—and have support every step of the way.
🎯 What Sets You Up for Success
You:
- 🏆 Spot inconsistencies others miss—and aren’t afraid to speak up.
- 🧑🔬 Have experience testing web and mobile applications (agile workflow experience is a plus).
- 🗂️ Turn vague requirements into testable scenarios with ease.
- 🔍 Thrive in environments where learning never stops—every bug is an opportunity, not a setback.
- 👥 Communicate clearly, adapting your message to both technical and non-technical teammates.
- 🏠 Reside in Washington State and are eligible to work in the US.
If you’ve worked with remote collaboration tools, automated test scripts, or managed the full feature lifecycle in agile teams, you’ll hit the ground running.
💰 Compensation & Growth
- Annual salary: $77,849
- Regular feedback and opportunities for upskilling or specialization.
- Leadership that values outcomes, not hours logged.
- The chance to shape our quality culture as we scale.
