QA Automation Engineer

Join a team that's building the future of staffing technology.

Aquent is seeking a passionate QA Automation Engineer to join our growing QA Automation Team. You'll play a critical role in ensuring the quality and performance of our cloud-based applications, used by thousands of job seekers and clients. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their tech career who's eager to grow their skills in automation, cloud testing, and Agile development-while making real, impactful contributions from day one.

As a QA Automation Engineer, you'll combine your passion for code and quality to help us build and scale a modern, intelligent test automation platform. Here's how you'll make your mark:

• Write clean, scalable automated test scripts in Ruby, JavaScript, or another OOP language (we're currently all-in on Ruby!)
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI) to catch bugs early and ship confidently
• Design and run data-driven test cases to validate real-world user scenarios and edge cases
• Debug, troubleshoot, and analyze test failures-work closely with developers to squash bugs and improve reliability
• Build testing utilities and internal libraries to streamline test development and improve platform maintainability
• Own and monitor test execution results, contributing to our regression strategy and release readiness
• Collaborate with QA, Dev, and Product teams to continuously improve testing processes and software quality
• Contribute to test strategy and documentation, and occasionally assist with manual functional testing when needed

We're looking for someone who's curious, driven, and excited to work in a fast-moving environment. The ideal candidate will bring:

• 1-2 years of experience in software development or QA automation
• Proficiency in object-oriented programming (Ruby, Python, Java, or JavaScript)-Ruby experience is strongly preferred
• Experience with test automation tools like Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, or Playwright
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI
• Familiarity with API testing tools like Postman or RestAssured
• Knowledge of QA best practices, Agile workflows, and testing methodologies
• Comfort with Git and version control workflows (pull requests, branching, etc.)

• Experience testing Angular applications
• Exposure to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Basic performance or load testing experience
• Experience in designing and managing test data
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Continuous Learning: Work with a team that values curiosity, mentorship, and innovation.
• Remote-First Culture: We value flexibility and trust-you can work from wherever you're most productive.
• Modern Tech Stack: We invest in best-in-class tools and are always evolving our platform.
• Collaborative Environment: Join a cross-functional team that truly works together-devs, QA, product, and design.
• Purpose-Driven Work: Help build applications that support job seekers, clients, and our internal teams across the globe.
