Qa Engineer Contractor Jobs

UserEvidence is a SaaS platform that unlocks stories from happy customers, and automatically creates a library of beautiful content assets. We are the only platform purpose-built to unlock customer love at scale. Credibility and noise are huge issues in B2B marketing and sales. We believe companies can sell a lot more when they let their customers do the talking, and show real-life evidence and feedback from their users.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Quality Assurance (QA) Contractor to join our small, post series-A startup. You will play a critical role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our software products and applications. While the ability to write automated tests is preferred, it is not a strict requirement.

This is a part-time, fully-remote contractor role, and will likely only require about 10 hours / week initially. We are seeking someone ideally in UTC-5 to UTC-8 time zone to have the most overlap with the current team.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct thorough regression testing to ensure bug fixes and enhancements do not introduce new issues.
• Work closely with developers to provide feedback and suggest improvements for product quality.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to ensure software meets quality standards and user expectations.
• Collaborate with the development team to understand software requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Develop and maintain a deep understanding of the software's features and functionality.
• Design, develop, execute, and maintain manual test cases and test plans to verify the functionality and performance of our software products.
• Participate in the continuous improvement of the QA process, including test methodologies, tools, and frameworks.
• Identify and report software defects, track them using our issue tracking tool, and verify their resolution.
• Stay up to date with industry best practices, trends, and emerging technologies in software quality assurance.

Requirements

• Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with issue tracking and project management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Trello).
• Familiarity with software testing techniques, including manual testing and test case development.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong understanding of QA methodologies, tools, and processes.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Familiarity with automated testing frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Jest) is a plus, but not required.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with remote teams and adapt to a dynamic, fast-paced startup environment.
• Previous experience in software quality assurance, preferably in a startup or fast-paced environment.
