  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including developers, product managers, and DevOps, to understand the software, identify bugs, and ensure that fixes are implemented correctly.
  • Communicate test results and findings to stakeholders, providing feedback and ensuring alignment on project quality standards.
  • Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint ceremonies, and QA syncs, providing regular updates on testing progress and issues.

  • Ability to think logically and determine test cases from a project description.
  • Ability to learn and apply new testing methodologies and tools.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
  • Basic understanding and ability to write code in TypeScript.
  • You don’t need formal QA experience, but you must be technically curious, eager to learn, and excited to grow .
  • This is a remote position. Travel to Protecht Hubs in Phoenix, San Francisco, Denver, Los Angeles, Austin, or Chicago may be required as necessary.

Bonus Skills:

  • Familiarity with manual testing tools and bug tracking systems (e.g., JIRA, TestRail).
  • Basic understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and agile methodologies.
  • Experience developing with Python, JS, etc.
  • Enthusiasm for learning test automation concepts and frameworks (e.g., Playwright).
  • Interest in experimenting with AI tools for test planning and productivity.

What We Offer:

  • Fully Remote Working Environment
