Quality Assurance Engineer

Quality Assurance Engineer Contractor

Remote opportunity for a U.S.-based software company 🇺🇸

We are recruiting Quality Assurance Engineer contractors based in Brazil to work remotely with a U.S.-based software company.

This is a great opportunity for experienced QA professionals who want to gain international experience, collaborate with a U.S. development team, and help maintain high software quality in a flexible remote environment.

About the Company

Our client is a fully remote American software company founded in 2013. The company builds tools and solutions that help financial institutions track, manage, and report the positive impact they create in their communities.

As the company continues to grow, its development and product needs are expanding as well. Because of that, they are looking for experienced QA contractors in Brazil to help scale QA efforts, maintain product integrity, and support a collaborative development environment.

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for QA professionals with 5+ years of experience in software development, QA engineering, or a related role.

The ideal candidate knows how to plan and execute test strategies, create and maintain reliable test suites, perform root cause analysis, and communicate findings clearly.

This opportunity is a good fit for someone who is detail-oriented, curious, organized, and passionate about software quality. The team is looking for someone who does more than test software — they want someone who helps improve it.

You should be comfortable identifying issues, solving problems, collaborating with developers, and helping the team deliver better code and better user experiences.

Since this is a remote contractor role working with a U.S.-based development team, strong English communication skills are important. You should be comfortable participating in occasional meetings, sharing feedback, discussing progress, and collaborating in real time when needed.

Tech Stack and Tools

The QA and development teams work with a modern web application stack. Experience with all of these tools is not required, but familiarity with some of them is a strong plus.

Frontend and Backend

• Ruby on Rails
• React
• GraphQL
• Postgres
• Redis

Testing

• Cypress
• Minitest

DevOps

• Kubernetes
• Helm
• Docker
• CircleCI

Collaboration and QA Tools

• Jira
• RubyMine
• Sentry

You may use these tools to build, execute, and automate tests, while also helping maintain and improve QA documentation and processes.

Company Values

The company has a strong values-driven culture, and contractors are expected to work in a way that reflects those values.

Their core values include:

• Integrity — Being honest with yourself and others.
• People — Understanding that people are the foundation of great work.
• Care — Doing work consistently, intentionally, and to the best of your ability.
• Remarkability — Creating remarkable experiences for everyone involved.
• Growth — Accepting yesterday and improving today.

These values should resonate with you if you are interested in working with a collaborative, thoughtful, and quality-focused team.

What You’ll Work On

As a QA contractor, you may work alongside development and product teams on projects such as:

• Planning and executing manual tests
• Creating and maintaining regression tests
• Automating tests
• Writing test cases and acceptance criteria
• Identifying, triaging, and tracking bugs
• Monitoring releases using tools like Sentry and Slack
• Collaborating on QA documentation
• Improving QA processes and best practices
• Supporting or mentoring junior team members when needed

You will receive assignments, collaborate through tools like Slack and Jira, and provide feedback directly to your main point of contact. The company values feedback and suggestions, so you’ll be encouraged to share ideas that could improve the product, the process, or the overall QA workflow.

Flexibility

This is a fully remote contractor opportunity for candidates living in Brazil.

The company is experienced with remote and asynchronous work. Although you will need to coordinate occasionally with the U.S.-based team, the role offers flexibility to support your schedule, availability, and time zone.

The most important expectation is consistent communication, ownership, and high-quality work.

Compensation

Compensation is paid in USD and is above typical rates in the Brazilian market. The initial rate will depend on your experience, technical skills, QA expertise, and English communication level.

Expected ranges:

• Mid Level, 2–5 years of experience: $5–$10/hour
• Senior Level, 5+ years of experience: $10–$20/hour

These ranges represent an initial offer based on experience and qualifications. As contractors consistently deliver high-quality work, there may be opportunities for compensation to grow alongside their contribution to the projects.
