QA automation engineer

About the role

You will build and maintain automated test suites for United States and Canadian software clients, working the same clock as their engineering teams. Because the Dominican Republic shares a working day with the US East Coast, you will join standups live, pair on debugging in real time, and be reachable when a build breaks. We take a specific view of quality engineering: a test suite that is not trusted is worse than a smaller one that is, because engineers learn to re-run failures rather than investigate them. Reliability comes before coverage on every engagement we run.

Key responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain automated test suites across UI, API and integration layers
• Diagnose and eliminate test flakiness, treating suite reliability as a first-order objective
• Prioritise coverage expansion by production incident history and code churn rather than by module
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and optimise pipeline runtime
• Build and maintain test data management and environment provisioning for test execution
• Participate in client standups, sprint planning, refinement and retrospectives as an embedded team member
• Perform exploratory and manual testing where automation is not appropriate
• Investigate escaped production defects, identify the coverage gap and close it
• Contribute to progressive delivery infrastructure including feature flagging and canary release verification
• Author and maintain test documentation and runbooks to a standard the client team can operate independently
• Deliver against defined knowledge transfer milestones so the client retains capability
• Mentor junior engineers on the account
• Participate in code review for test code with the same rigour applied to production code

Required qualifications

• English at CEFR C1, assessed before offer. This role is client-facing and conducted primarily in English.
• Native or fluent Spanish
• Three or more years in software quality engineering with a substantial automation component
• Strong proficiency in at least one of: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java
• Hands-on experience with modern test frameworks: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Jest, Pytest or equivalent
• Experience with API testing and tooling: Postman, REST Assured, supertest or equivalent
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, ideally GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins
• Comfort with Git and trunk-based or feature-branch workflows
• University degree in computer science, software engineering, systems engineering or equivalent demonstrated experience
• Availability to work onsite in Santo Domingo three days per week
• Valid Dominican ID or work permit

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with performance testing: k6, JMeter, Gatling
• Experience with contract testing: Pact or equivalent
• Cloud platform familiarity: AWS, Azure or GCP
• Containerisation: Docker, Kubernetes
• Observability tooling: Datadog, New Relic, Grafana
• ISTQB certification or equivalent
• Prior experience embedded in a distributed engineering team across time zones
• Dominican diaspora engineers returning from the United States, Canada or Spain are strongly encouraged to apply
