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.
• Experience testing mobile and web applications and understanding client/ server failure modes.
• Ability to write automation in JavaScript/ TypeScript, Python, Java, or a similar language.
• Strong debugging skills across logs, network requests, databases, and distributed services.
• Experience with CI/CD and integrating automated tests into release pipelines.
• A product mindset: prioritize risk and customer impact rather than maximizing test-case counts.
Nice to Have
• Performance, load, security, or reliability testing.
• Experience with Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Postman/ Newman, k6, or similar tooling.
• Experience with event-driven systems, queues, webhooks, and long running workflows.
• Experience testing AI-assisted or non-deterministic product behavior.
How We Think About Quality?
Quality is an engineering responsibility. Automation should create confidence, not dashboards. A production escape should improve the system that allowed it to happen. The goal is simple: ship quickly without making customers our test environment.
