Role Description

We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer to own quality on a large enterprise Shopify program. You’ll shape the testing approach, guide the QA effort on the project, and keep stakeholders informed through launch. This is a contract role starting in December.

Please Note:

• This is a 6-month Contract position.
• The ideal candidate should be able to work in hours aligned to Eastern Time (EST) or Pacific Time (PST).

What You’ll Do:

  • Search and filters
  • Cart and checkout
  • Promotions

• Test the integrations behind the store:

  • Order management and store fulfillment (ship-to-home, BOPIS, ship-from-store)
  • Marketplace orders (such as Mirakl)
  • Search and merchandising (such as Bloomreach)
  • Customer data and POS
  • Payments, gift cards, and fraud tools
  • The middleware that connects them
• Validate data as it moves between systems through APIs and file-based transfers (S3, SFTP), including transaction log reconciliation.
• Separate real defects from work still pending on other teams or vendors, and keep the defect list accurate.
• Be the QA point of contact for client stakeholders and developers, including a weekly QA status report.
• Lead and support the QA team on the program.
• Manage test cases in TestRail and track defects and QA work in Jira and Confluence.
• Build end-to-end test automation (Playwright preferred) when the program is ready for it.
• Use AI tools like Claude every day, for example to draft test cases, and review the output carefully.

Qualifications

• Integration testing on enterprise commerce programs: ERP, order management, or middleware, using API testing (Postman or similar) and file-based data feeds.
• A working grasp of version control, CI/CD, and native vs. headless Shopify.
• Hands-on experience with a modern automation framework such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
• Experience owning quality as the main or only QA on a project, including deciding what to test first and triaging defects.
• Clear, warm communication with developers, client stakeholders, and leadership, in written and spoken English every day.
• Regular use of AI in your QA work, openness to completing a Claude certification during onboarding, and availability to work Eastern Time (ET) business hours.

Requirements

• Experience formally leading QA engineers (Nice to Have).
