• Write automated tests for object-oriented PHP and Laravel codebases
• Perform manual cross-browser testing of website flows
• Identify, document, and track defects in collaboration with the development team
• Participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives
• Help maintain testing documentation, run performance tests, and continuously improve our QA processes

What You Bring

• 4+ years in a QA engineering or software development role, including 2+ years writing automated tests
• Hands-on experience inspecting, debugging, and writing automated tests for object-oriented PHP and Laravel
• Experience with manual functional and regression testing of web applications
• Familiarity with web technologies such as JavaScript, cookies, PWAs, REST, and SAML
• SQL skills for querying databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL)
• Exposure to test automation frameworks such as Selenium
• Working knowledge of Git and CI/CD, specifically GitLab pipelines
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with clear written and verbal communication
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to Have

• Experience with TLDs and domain lifecycles
• REST API and service testing experience
• Performance testing tools such as JMeter
• JavaScript automation frameworks such as Cypress or Playwright
• Experience testing low-level libraries across languages (PHP, Java, C, etc.)

Schedule and Location

This is a full-time, permanent, hybrid role based at our Vista, CA office, with a minimum of 2 days per week on-site. Working hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM Pacific. Candidates must live within commuting distance of Vista; this role is not open to fully remote applicants. Hours may occasionally shift to meet project milestones.

Benefits

We invest in our people as much as our platform. Full-time employees are eligible for medical (CalChoice), dental, and vision coverage, FSAs/HSAs, a 401(k) plan with company match, paid time off and paid holidays, and life and disability insurance. You’ll also get the stability of an established company with the collaborative feel of a small team, where your work directly shapes the products our customers rely on. Our Vista office gives you dedicated space to work alongside the R&D team on in-office days, while the hybrid schedule gives you flexibility for the rest of the week.
