Remote Position

[Remote] Quality Engineer

🌍 Remote · United States 💼 Full-time

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Wellspring Worldwide provides web-based software systems for managing research, technology commercialization, and innovation operations. The Quality Engineer will design and maintain automated, performance, and AI-assisted testing practices, integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines, and collaborate cross-functionally to improve quality standards and risk management.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites using Playwright
  • Develop and maintain performance and load tests using JMeter
  • Create reusable test utilities, data strategies, and scalable testing patterns
  • Build and curate the shared foundation that AI-assisted authoring depends on so generated tests come out consistent
  • Keep the suite healthy as authoring volume increases
  • Use AI-assisted tools to generate, refine, and maintain test cases, and test data
  • Direct coding agents through the full authoring loop providing context and reviewing output
  • Review generated tests with a critical eye for the ways they fail quietly
  • Use AI to find coverage gaps and propose edge cases, then apply your own judgment about which ones carry real risk
  • Use AI-assisted triage as a first pass on failures, separating likely regressions from flakes
  • Apply self-healing and auto-repair tooling deliberately, with guardrails, recognizing that a test which silently repairs itself can mask a genuine product regression
  • Apply risk-based testing to focus effort on business-critical and defect-prone areas
  • Validate AI-enabled product behavior for correctness, reliability, and unintended outcomes
  • Feed recurring defect and failure patterns back into shared context and conventions so the same class of miss does not recur
  • Integrate automated tests into GitHub Actions–based CI/CD pipelines
  • Partner with Engineering and DevOps to improve pipeline quality gates
  • Manage test scope and execution sequencing to balance coverage, risk, and feedback time
  • Write tests and failure output that are legible to agents as well as engineers
  • Ensure quality gates hold as change volume increases, so higher delivery throughput does not quietly become higher-confidence mistakes
  • Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Architecture to clarify requirements and identify quality risks early
  • Propose and drive solutions to technical and testing challenges with cross-functional partners
  • Help establish team standards for AI-driven test authoring
  • Document and communicate testing strategies, tradeoffs, and outcomes

Skills

  • Experience as a Quality Engineer, SDET, or Test Automation Engineer on production systems
  • Strong hands-on experience with Playwright (UI and API testing)
  • Experience with performance and load testing using JMeter or similar tools
  • Solid programming skills in TypeScript/JavaScript, C#, Java, or Python
  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, preferably GitHub Actions
  • Working knowledge of modern architectures, including web applications, APIs, and cloud-based systems
  • Demonstrated, sustained daily use of at least one modern AI-assisted development tool
  • Ability to critically review AI-generated tests and code — identifying shallow coverage, incorrect assumptions, and plausible-looking output that does not hold up
  • Experience testing AI-enabled or data-driven systems
  • Experience designing automation frameworks or shared testing infrastructure
  • Familiarity with observability, monitoring, or quality metrics beyond pass/fail testing
  • Experience building evaluation harnesses or test strategies for non-deterministic systems
  • Experience structuring context for AI tooling — prompt design, retrieval, or packaging codebase and domain knowledge for code and test generation
  • A point of view on where AI-assisted testing genuinely helps
