Sr. QA Engineer

Since 2012, Rightsline has been making work easier for rights and royalties professionals with our innovative rights and royalties management software, allowing our customers to maximize their portfolios without having to max out their daily to-do-lists.

Our fully integrated and configurable platform provides customers with comprehensive access to all their rights and royalties, across all markets and platforms, instantly. Departments can communicate, collaborate, and cohesively take action without worrying about mistakes; and in-app reports and timely alerts ensure our customers never miss an opportunity to do more.

The Position

Rightsline is looking for a Senior QA Engineer to join our Quality & Experience team and take real ownership of the quality bar for our platform. Reporting to the Manager of QA and based in Toronto, Ontario on a hybrid-basis, you'll work closely with Engineering, Product, and the wider Quality team - bringing a meticulous, logical approach to testing and coding, sharp communication skills, and a genuine drive to solve hard problems. Experience testing enterprise software is a strong plus, and a real appetite to learn and adapt is essential.

Mission & Impact

As a Senior QA Engineer, you'll be one of the biggest drivers of quality across Rightsline's platform - interpreting feature requirements, designing and executing test cases, and owning the automated testing strategy that keeps our releases fast and dependable. This role is central to building the most comprehensive, intuitive, technology-forward platform for managing intellectual property, and you'll do it alongside a team that's just as invested in getting it right as you are.

What You Will Own

Test Ownership & Execution

• Own the quality of key features end to end - from interpreting requirements through functional, regression, and smoke testing for your assigned Scrum team
• Evaluate and test change requests to confirm the software meets defined requirements before it ships
• Investigate issues uncovered during testing, get to the root cause, and update tests so they catch it next time

Test Automation & Engineering

• Design and build clean, lean automated tests using the Playwright framework to cut out repetitive manual work
• Keep the test repository healthy - readable, maintainable, and well-organized - through regular refactoring
• Review pull requests promptly to raise our code quality bar and keep projects moving
• Research, pitch, and implement new tools that make our testing sharper and more efficient

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Partner daily with Engineers, DevOps, Product, Support, and Business Analysts to keep quality embedded in how we build
• Drive ongoing improvements to our QA processes, not just follow them
• Communicate implementation issues, delays, and mitigation plans clearly and early
• Support scheduled releases and, on occasion, urgent after-hours patches to keep the platform running for our customers
• Mentor fellow QA team members on automation best practices

What You Must Have

• Ownership of the software testing life cycle (STLC) end to end
• Strong object-oriented programming skills, including asynchronous JavaScript
• Seasoned experience with load and performance testing tools such as JMeter and BlazeMeter
• High proficiency with Git version control
• Proven experience testing as part of an Agile/Scrum team, partnering with engineers to shape testing strategy throughout the sprint

What You Will Bring

• 5+ years of QA automation experience, having owned the software testing life cycle (STLC) end to end
• Expertise designing, building, and debugging automated test suites, with 5+ years testing REST/API services using Postman
• 5+ years writing, executing, and reporting on manual and automated test cases - smoke, sanity, functional, integration, and regression
• Working knowledge of web application and relational database architecture
• Proven track record building and maintaining release pipelines, and managing deployment schedules, risks, and impediments
• Familiarity with bug-tracking tools such as Jira and TestMo
• Solid grasp of Scrum and Agile development methodologies
• Strong adherence to stylistic and architectural repository standards

Nice Haves:

• Experience testing enterprise software
• Familiarity with AWS CodeBuild
• Exposure to Cypress in addition to Playwright
• Working knowledge of Angular or React

Our Core Values

At Rightsline, we look for these qualities in every hire, and we hold ourselves to them every day.

Be Curious and Smart

Being smart isn't about having all the answers - it's about asking the right questions, seeking out new ideas, and never assuming you already know enough.

Embrace Change

This industry moves fast and so do we. We don't resist change - we lean into it. That means staying flexible, letting go of what isn't working, and treating uncertainty as opportunity rather than obstacle.

Show Up

Showing up means being present - not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Your teammates count on you. Your customers count on you. We do our best work when everyone is fully engaged and accountable to each other.

Get it Done

Ideas are easy. Execution is the job. We hold ourselves to what we commit to, push through the hard parts, and measure success by our actual accomplishments.

Be Humble

Nobody here has a monopoly on good ideas. We listen more than we talk, share credit freely, and check our egos at the door. The best outcome matters more than whose idea it was.

Equal Employment Opportunity

Rightsline is an equal opportunity workplace. All candidates will be afforded equal opportunity through the recruiting process. We do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity and/or expression. We are dedicated to growing a diverse team of highly talented individuals and creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.
