Jr/Mid QA Engineer

Zipdev is seeking a detail-oriented Quality Assurance Analyst to safeguard the reliability of our clien'ts in-house Learning Management System (LMS) and its supporting services. This full-time role is 100 % remote and ideal for someone eager to grow from strong manual-testing foundations into deeper automation expertise while collaborating with a distributed team of developers, product owners, and instructional designers.

As a QA Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring the quality and reliability of our software products through rigorous testing and automation processes. You will collaborate closely with the development team to identify and resolve issues, ensuring that our software meets the highest standards of quality and user satisfaction.

Responsibilities:

• Execute functional, regression, integration, and exploratory tests on the LMS’s web and mobile experiences.
• Design clear, reusable test cases, test scripts, and data sets; maintain comprehensive test plans and reports.
• Automate high-value test scenarios using Selenium-based UI frameworks and PHPUnit (or similar) tests.
• Log, prioritize, and track defects in a collaborative ticket-tracking system; work closely with developers to reproduce, debug, and verify fixes.
• Contribute to sprint planning by estimating test effort, identifying risks, and suggesting acceptance criteria.
• Monitor CI pipeline executions and analyze automated-test results, raising alerts when instability appears.
• Participate in continuous-improvement initiatives—enhancing QA processes, tooling, and documentation.
• Stay current on QA best practices, accessibility requirements (WCAG 2.1), and security considerations (OWASP).

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field or equivalent practical experience.
• 1–3 years of hands-on manual testing experience for web applications.

• Clear written and verbal communication skills; comfortable collaborating in a fully remote environment using Slack, Zoom, and modern ticket-tracking systems.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience testing LMS, CMS, or other education-technology platforms.
• Knowledge of performance- or load-testing tools (JMeter, Gatling) and mobile-testing frameworks (Appium).
• Familiarity with SQL for basic data validation and troubleshooting.
