Build integration tests for REST APIs (Node.js backend) and validate key workflows like authentication, project/task creation, and S3 interactions
Maintain and expand component-level tests for React-based UI using tools like React Testing Library and Jest
Develop and run test suites in CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions)
Set up and manage test data across multiple tenant schemas (PostgreSQL on AWS RDS)
Implement visual regression tests to detect rendering issues in WebViewer
Work closely with developers, product managers, and devops engineers to identify edge cases and proactively address quality risks
Optionally, leverage AI-assisted test tools (like Testim.io, QA Wolf, Claude, or GitHub Copilot) to accelerate test development

Strong knowledge of Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium for browser-based E2E testing
Experience testing RESTful APIs with tools like Postman, Supertest, or Newman

Understanding of CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, or similar)
Exposure to AWS services like S3, RDS, ECS, and Cognito
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, agile SaaS environment
Preferred Qualifications
Experience testing document viewers like Apryse/WebViewer, PDF.js, or Adobe Embed
Familiarity with multi-tenant architectures and schema-per-tenant databases
Knowledge of visual testing tools like Percy or Applitools
Comfort using AI-assisted QA tools
Understanding of security testing basics (authentication, data leakage, etc.)
What We Offer
An opportunity to shape the QA process of a core product used by leading pharmaceutical companies
