Job Description

Remote Shopify QA Tester

Make an Impact from Anywhere

What if you could prevent thousands of users from experiencing bugs before they ever notice them? As our Remote Shopify QA Tester, your testing instincts will directly impact the performance of eCommerce experiences viewed by customers worldwide. You’ll craft test strategies that eliminate friction and boost trust, one build at a time. From your first week, your precision will drive product decisions and shape how features behave in real-time.

What You’ll Influence

Your role isn’t about blindly checking boxes—it’s about catching the details others miss and helping the team ship with confidence. When you speak up about an edge case or write up a detailed bug report, you’re not just raising concerns—you’re preventing downstream frustrations for users, merchants, and teammates. Your efforts ensure our storefronts run smoothly, efficiently, and scalably across devices.

Key Responsibilities

Elevate Testing Coverage with Strategy

Develop and carry out structured test workflows tailored to Shopify themes and custom apps.
Build thoughtful regression testing flows for every deployment cycle.
Identify product bottlenecks before they surface—your observations often inspire process improvements.

Collaborate Across Product Lifecycle

Partner with developers to test early builds and streamline handoff feedback.
Work closely with product designers to validate UI functionality against Figma specs.
Surface usability quirks that may impact cart conversion or mobile responsiveness.

Champion Quality with Empathy

Track bugs in Jira with clarity—not just “what went wrong” but “why it matters.”
Lead QA efforts in sprint retros and pre-release standups.
Coordinate UAT sessions for feature sets that support thousands of end-users.

What Helps You Thrive Here

You Simplify Complexity

Explaining browser discrepancies to a designer? You keep it simple and focused. Sharing an urgent test failure over Slack? You stay calm and actionable. Clear communication is your default, whether it’s a test summary or a launch checklist.

Curiosity Drives You

You don’t settle for “it works.” You ask, “What happens if the user skips this step?” or “How will this perform on mobile checkout in Safari?” Your edge cases push our standards higher every week.

You Think in Systems

Rather than testing features in isolation, you explore how a checkout tweak impacts product filtering or how an app integration alters fulfillment logic. Your system-oriented thinking prevents unintended chaos.

Tools & Technologies

Shopify Admin + Partner Dashboard
BrowserStack, Cypress, and automation frameworks for scripted tests
Jira and Notion for tracking and documentation
Figma and Chrome DevTools for UI validation
Zoom, Slack, and Loom for async collaboration

Our Remote-First Culture

We believe great QA happens with focus and autonomy—not with micromanagement. Our remote work environment is built around async updates, dedicated heads-down time, and deep trust. You’ll collaborate with product managers in Toronto, engineers in Lisbon, and designers in Mumbai.

We move quickly, but you’ll always have the space to test deeply, question product decisions, and rework testing flows that don’t scale. While launches are frequent, quality never gets sacrificed.

What Success Looks Like

Your bug reports prevent 90% of escalations post-launch.
Sprint teams rely on your test plans as their source of truth for QA.
You ship faster, smarter tests with each sprint, continually automating repetitive checks.
Stakeholders say your QA insights have helped catch issues even before the code hits staging.

Qualifications & Experience

3+ years in QA, ideally in Shopify or eCommerce platforms.
Proficiency in leveraging tools like Cypress or similar frameworks to build reliable automation scripts.
Experience testing across multiple devices and screen sizes.
Familiarity with Agile workflows, sprint planning, and UAT testing.
Bonus: exposure to A/B testing setups or performance testing in Liquid environments.

Compensation & Growth

This full-time remote role offers an annual salary of $68,500. Beyond competitive pay, you’ll gain mentorship opportunities, structured career development support, and the chance to influence how millions shop online. Whether you’re automating smarter test flows or proposing a better QA process, your voice will shape our growth.

Let’s Build Quality Together

If you’re the kind of person who sees bugs before they happen, loves polishing features to perfection, and thrives in remote collaboration, we want to hear from you. Let’s build something meaningful—with every test you run and every insight you share.
