QA Engineer

About the role

For a small, fast-moving team building a multi-tenant CRM/e-commerce system (Django/Postgres backend; React admin; Angular storefront; a couple of Node microservices). Development velocity is currently blocked by manual QA—especially in high-risk financial areas (refunds, credits, settlements). We’re hiring a fully-remote Freelance QA Automation Engineer to design and own test automation, wire it into CI, and unblock safe, confident releases. Strong overlap with Israel time is important; onboarding and domain knowledge are primarily in Hebrew.

Capacity: 60h / Month

What you'll do

Define and own the QA strategy: test levels (API/e2e), environments, data, coverage targets, reporting.
Stand up automation from scratch (framework selection, repo scaffolding, conventions/utilities).
Prioritize and automate money-critical flows first: refunds/credits, payment provider integrations, ledgers, orders/reservations, webhooks, retries/idempotency.
Integrate suites into CI/CD: PR gates, deploy-time smoke tests, nightly runs; provide clear, actionable reports.
Build reliable test data/fixtures (sandbox accounts, test cards, seeded datasets, reset tools).
Translate existing manual flows into maintainable automated cases; write concise test plans/checklists.
Track and reduce flakes; define release criteria; triage failures to drive down MTTR.
Collaborate with engineering/product; coach teammates to contribute tests and follow QA best practices.

What we're looking for

Must-haves

4+ years hands-on QA automation, including building frameworks from zero.
Strong JavaScript/TypeScript with Playwright or Cypress for UI; plus Python/pytest or Postman/Newman for API testing.
CI experience (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket pipelines), artifacts & reporting dashboards.
Solid grasp of web apps (React/Angular), REST APIs, and basic SQL (Postgres).
Proven work testing payment flows (refunds, credits, settlements, webhooks) and other high-risk financial features.
Comfortable owning a roadmap, making pragmatic trade-offs, and communicating clearly with stakeholders.
Hebrew fluency (onboarding and much of the domain context are in Hebrew).

Nice-to-haves

Familiarity reading Django code; factories/fixtures; Django admin.
Experience with Israeli acquirers or Stripe-like gateways.
Multi-tenant systems, roles/permissions, complex back-office workflows.
Basic performance/security testing (e.g., k6/Locust).

Logistics

Contract, fully remote; strong overlap with Asia/Jerusalem hours.
Initial engagement ~3–6 months, with potential extension.
