Job Title: QA Analyst

Location: Bolton (3x per week in office)

Job Type: Full-time salaried

We are seeking a Junior/Intermediate QA Analyst on behalf of our client. In this role you will help ensure the quality and reliability of our client’s flagship platform, through hands-on functional testing and a growing contribution to test automation. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their QA career who wants to broaden their skills across manual testing, Playwright-based automation, and light database work in a collaborative, hybrid environment.

Responsibilities:

- Plan and execute manual functional, regression, and exploratory testing on the Modern platform across new features and bug fixes.
- Write clear, well-organized test cases and document defects with detailed, reproducible steps.
- Contribute to our automated test suite by creating and maintaining end-to-end tests using Playwright, with support and code review from the team.
- Verify data and results directly in the database using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) when testing requires it.
- Perform small, straightforward database updates and queries to set up test conditions or validate expected outcomes.
- Collaborate with developers and product managers to clarify requirements, reproduce issues, and confirm fixes.




- Participate in release verification and help maintain quality standards across each deployment.
- Track and report on testing progress, defects, and overall product quality.

Qualifications:

- 1–3 years of experience in a software QA or testing role (co-op, internship, or related hands-on experience considered).
- Solid understanding of QA fundamentals: test case design, regression testing, and the defect lifecycle.
- Working knowledge of SQL and comfort using SSMS for basic queries and simple data updates.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to write clear, reproducible bug reports.
- Good written and verbal communication skills, and a collaborative, team-first attitude.
- Able to work on a hybrid schedule based out of our Bolton, Ontario office.
- Exposure to test automation, ideally with Playwright (or a similar framework such as Cypress or Selenium).
- Familiarity with web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and how modern web applications are structured.
- Experience with version control (Git) and working in an agile/Scrum environment.
- Familiarity with bug-tracking and test-management tools.
- A genuine interest in growing toward a more automation-focused QA role over time.
