Senior QA Engineer
Make quality part of the engineering system.
AbleCredit builds software for complex enterprise workflows where AI, APIs, business rules, human decisions, and real-world operations have to work together reliably. We care about building products that work in production - not just in demos. We're looking for a senior quality engineer who can move quality upstream: from release-time testing to better automation, contracts, observability, and engineering practices.
What You'll Own?
• Own quality strategy across web, mobile, backend APIs, integrations, and end-to-end workflows.
• Design and maintain automated regression suites for critical customer journeys.
• Build API, integration, contract, and workflow tests that catch failures before production.
• Partner with engineering and product teams during design - not only after development is complete.
• Define release readiness, risk-based testing, and production validation practices.
• Investigate escaped defects, identify systemic causes, and drive preventive improvements.
• Improve test data, environments, tooling, and CI integration so teams can ship confidently.
What We're Looking For?
• 5+ years in software quality engineering or test automation.
• Strong API and backend testing experience, including asynchronous and integration-heavy systems.
