The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a small-company mindset and a strong sense of curiosity. We value professionals who thoroughly explore and understand the product hands-on prior to writing code. 

Core responsibilities: 

• Developing and maintaining integration and end-to-end automated tests based on prepared test cases. 
• Collaborating with Product Managers and Developers to identify optimal test coverage. 
• Ensuring the prompt delivery of automated tests covering critical functionalities and key issues. 
• Reporting bugs with detailed, deterministic steps to reproduce. 
• Verifying and validating that resolved issues are successfully fixed. 

Requirements: 

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a STEM discipline (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) or a related quantitative field. 

• Language: Professional written and spoken English proficiency for effective asynchronous collaboration in a distributed team. 

• API & Database Testing: Proficiency in testing RESTful APIs, OData services, and databases using tools such as Postman and direct SQL queries. 

• Modern Tooling & AI: Hands-on experience with Git, bug-tracking systems (Jira), AI-assisted development tools, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), including authoring custom YAML workflows. 

• Automation Frameworks: Demonstrated experience writing clean, maintainable automated test scripts using Playwright, Selenium WebDriver, or equivalent tools. 

• Coding Standards: Ability to produce clean, readable code with a focus on simplicity and maintainability. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• ERP/Finance Logic: Experience working in an ERP industry and basic accounting knowledge is a plus.
• Programming Language: Acquainted with at least one programming language.
• Database and Web API testing skills using DBMS queries and REST clients such as Postman. 

We are seeking a fully dedicated team member who is proactive, engaged, and focused on our growth objectives. We do not engage with third-party agencies, outstaffing firms, or candidates seeking dual employment. 

If you do not meet every qualification but possess high technical aptitude, strong work ethics, and a desire to make a direct impact within a dynamic team, we encourage you to apply. 

Terms: 

• 100% remote environment with flexible working hours. Your schedule should still be reasonably predictable and responsiveness in communications is a must. You should be able to provide at least 3 hours overlap with the EST (Montreal) time zone. 
• An hourly arrangement with at least 35 hours / week availability. 
• A stable internet connection and videoconferencing capability is required (with camera on).
