Senior QA Engineer - Remote

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer to lead the charge in elevating our quality practices across a modern, fast-moving engineering team. This is a high-impact role — perfect for someone who’s both technically hands-on and passionate about building quality into the development lifecycle from the start.

In Short

• Lead the design and rollout of QA best practices across engineering.
• Build and maintain robust automated test frameworks across API, UI, and mobile — with tools suited to our stack (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Pytest, PHPUnit).
• Support data-driven decision-making — using test coverage metrics, bug trends, and release health to influence quality improvements.
• Conduct high-value manual and exploratory testing, particularly where automation is not yet in place.
• Own system, integration, and E2E testing across multiple interconnected applications.
• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers early in the development cycle to define quality expectations and acceptance criteria.
• Champion a shift-left testing culture by integrating testing into design and development phases.
• Act as a mentor to the wider team in QA best practices.

Requirements

• Significant experience in QA roles, ideally in high-growth or product-led tech companies.
• Strong hands-on experience with test automation for web and mobile apps — ideally using Playwright, Cypress, Selenium (UI), Appium (mobile), Pytest, PHPUnit, or similar (API/unit testing).
• Familiarity with our tech stack: PHP, Python, TypeScript and SQL.
• Passion for manual testing where it adds value — especially in exploratory testing and early-stage improvements.
• Strong understanding of QA strategy, risk-based testing, and quality metrics.
• Experience in Agile environments, with a proactive approach to embedding quality early in the development cycle.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — able to partner across engineering and product teams.
• Knowledge of non-functional testing (performance, security, etc.).

Benefits

• Zeelo is on a mission to make shared transportation more accessible, efficient, and sustainable.
• Opportunity to help shape the future of our technology in a role where you’ll have real ownership and impact.
• Be part of a fast-moving TransitTech company with exciting challenges.
• Work with a team that values Trust, Efficiency, and Drive.
• Join a culture inspired by the Boston Celtics “Ubuntu” mindset.
