Lead QA Engineer

Rochester Cloud's Quality Engineering team ships every two weeks. We need someone who can write automated tests and still find bugs by hand. The right person reads acceptance criteria carefully and asks the awkward questions early. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning.

Main duties

• Verify bug fixes and sign off on releases.
• Load test with JMeter, k6 or Gatling and report on response times.
• Investigate and fix flaky tests rather than just retrying them.
• Review user stories and acceptance criteria for gaps before sprint work begins.
• Check accessibility basics with axe and keyboard-only testing.
• Integrate test suites into GitHub Actions, Jenkins or Azure DevOps pipelines.
• Build API test suites with Postman, REST Assured or pytest.
• Report on test coverage, escaped defects and release readiness.

What you'll need

• 8-10 years of software QA experience, including test automation.
• Familiarity with REST APIs, JSON and tools like Postman.
• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle and Agile/Scrum.
• Experience with at least one UI automation framework.

Benefits

Starting pay: $142,000 to $180,000 annually, depending on experience and certifications.

• Health, dental and vision coverage starting on day one.
• 401(k) with 4% match.
• Paid holidays.
• Stock options.

Who we are
