About Us Hiya! We're SimpliCity , a Vancouver-based GovTech startup building technology with purpose. Our core product is a composable content management system (CMS) that unifies municipal digital services, transforming a municipality's website from a static library into a connected "front door" for the community. We are a small but mighty team that values diversity, curiosity, and the drive to continuously learn and improve.
What You'll Do Develop test plans and cases: Create and execute test strategies and test cases for our platform and customer project implementations.
Manual and automated testing across the lifecycle: You run functional and regression testing within our sprints, plus usability, cross-browser, responsive, and integration (end-to-end flow) testing across websites, web apps, and APIs, to catch issues before our customers do.
Testing at every stage: Test incrementally during development, verify release candidates before they ship, and support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with customers so high-priority issues are resolved before launch.
Test automation and setup: Write and maintain automated test scripts in JavaScript or TypeScript with tools like Playwright (preferred) or Cypress, and you may recommend and set up our testing tools alongside our engineers.
AI output validation: Define correct output for our AI content-migration pipeline, judge the quality of AI-generated records against source content, and track which items the pipeline handled versus manual work.
Content and migration quality: Check migrated municipal content for accuracy, structure, and metadata quality as we bring current municipalities onto the platform.




Web accessibility testing: Ensure customer web projects and our platform meet web accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.
Defect management: Identify, log, and track defects in Jira, collaborating with leadership, design, and development team members on resolution.
Collaborate: Provide clear updates on QA progress and support team members to ensure smooth, quality-focused delivery.
What We're Looking For QA professional with 3+ years of experience: You have tested web app and website frontends and backend APIs, both manually and with automation.
A process builder: You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy creating solutions and processes where none currently exist.
An engineer test automation practitioner: You are proficient with tools like Playwright or Cypress, API testing tools like Postman, and SQL for database checks.
Comfortable in a JavaScript stack: You can read our JavaScript, NodeJS, and ReactJS codebase, debug issues, and build small internal testing tools and scripts within it.
An accessibility advocate: You know the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 AA+) and have experience testing for compliance, because we work with local governments and inclusive experiences are a core requirement.
Extremely detail-oriented and organized: You take pride in catching what others overlook, and you communicate clearly, particularly in writing.
A responsible AI collaborator: You are curious about using AI tools to improve testing coverage and quality, and equally comfortable judging AI output with a skeptical, evidence-based eye.
Bonus Skills and Experience We don't expect you to have any/all of these skills or experiences. However, if you do, be sure to highlight them when you apply. Experience testing integrations and embedded thir
