QA Engineer

Job Title: Automation QA

Location: Berkeley Heights, NJ / Alpharetta, GA
Type: Full Time/W2 with Infinite Computer Solutions

Overview

CashFlow Central is seeking a QA Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, and release readiness of solutions that support small businesses. This role is part of an agile scrum team and is focused on preventing defects, improving test coverage, and giving the team clear quality signals throughout the delivery lifecycle. The ideal candidate is a strong quality engineer who can work independently, translate evolving requirements into practical test strategy, and raise confidence in each release through disciplined validation and automation.

This is primarily a quality-focused role. While close partnership with developers is essential, this person is expected to lead test planning, identify quality risks early, drive automation where it adds value, and help the team improve testability and release confidence with minimal day-to-day guidance.

Key Responsibilities

• Define test strategy and test plans for new features, integrations, enhancements, and production fixes.
• Design, execute, and maintain functional, integration, regression, and exploratory testing across CashFlow Central solutions.
• Build and maintain automated test coverage that improves release confidence and supports delivery speed.
• Partner with product and engineering to clarify acceptance criteria, identify gaps early, and surface quality risks before release.
• Validate application behavior across services, environments, and deployment changes, including API, UI, and integration flows as applicable.
• Triage defects, support root-cause analysis with developers, and help prioritize issues based on customer impact and release risk.
• Contribute to CI/CD quality gates and release-readiness practices that improve reliability and reduce escaped defects.
• Support test data planning, environment readiness, and repeatable validation processes for ongoing delivery.
• Promote strong quality practices across the team through collaboration, coaching, and practical improvements to testability and coverage.

Required Qualifications

• Senior-level QA or test engineering experience supporting production software delivery in agile environments.
• Strong experience designing and executing test strategy across functional, integration, regression, and exploratory testing.
• Strong experience with test automation for APIs, services, user workflows, or integrated systems.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, release validation, and quality gates in modern delivery environments.
• Experience identifying quality risks, managing defects, and driving preventive quality practices throughout the software lifecycle.
• Ability to work independently, manage ambiguity, and translate evolving requirements into practical validation approaches.
• Strong understanding of application reliability, testability, and maintainable quality practices.
• Experience collaborating closely with developers, product partners, and other stakeholders to improve release confidence.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and functions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting products or platforms that serve small businesses or operate in financial services, payments, or related regulated environments.
• Experience testing integrated, event-driven, or data-intensive systems that use technologies such as Kafka, Snowflake, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with Playwright as a testing framework.
• Experience with performance, non-functional, or high-volume test scenarios in business-critical systems.
• Experience helping increase delivery quality and speed through better automation, risk-based testing, or process improvement.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as Codex, Claude, Copilot, or similar platforms.

What Success Looks Like

• Ramps quickly and establishes strong quality coverage for CashFlow Central in a short timeframe.
• Improves release confidence by surfacing defects, risks, and gaps before they reach production.
• Helps the team deliver faster by reducing rework, strengthening automation, and improving validation discipline.
• Requires minimal guidance in day-to-day execution and consistently moves quality work forward.
• Improves defect prevention, release predictability, and overall engineering confidence through senior-level quality ownership.
