Are you an experienced QA Automation Engineer looking for an international remote opportunity? A US-based team is hiring a QA professional with strong experience across Manual Testing, API Automation, Playwright, TypeScript, C# and SQL.
This role is particularly attractive for experienced QA professionals who enjoy going beyond scripted testing. The ideal candidate should naturally think about edge cases, failure scenarios, hidden risks and βwhat if?β situations rather than simply validating the happy path.
π Location: 100% Remote
πΊπΈ Team: US-based
πΌ Experience: 5+ Years
π΅ Compensation: Payment in USD
π§ͺ Focus: Manual + Automation Testing
π» Core Stack: C#, Playwright, TypeScript, SQL
βοΈ Azure: Good to have, not mandatory
π Why Is This Role Good for Experienced QA Professionals?
This position is more than a conventional automation-testing role because it combines manual exploratory thinking with automation engineering.
The role can be especially useful for professionals looking to strengthen:
β
Risk-based testing
β
Exploratory testing
β
API automation
β
Playwright automation
β
TypeScript-based testing
β
C# scripting
β
SQL/database validation
β
Debugging and root-cause analysis
β
Automation framework maintenance
β
International remote collaboration
π§βπ» Skills Required
The JD strongly emphasizes the following skills:
Manual Testing: Test-case design, functional testing, exploratory testing, regression testing, boundary-value analysis and negative testing.
Playwright + TypeScript: Creating reliable UI automation, locators, assertions, waits, fixtures, reusable functions and debugging failed tests.
C#: C# scripting is mandatory, particularly for API testing. Candidates should be comfortable with classes, methods, collections, exception handling, LINQ basics and writing reusable utilities.
API Testing: REST APIs, HTTP methods, status codes, headers, authentication, request/response validation and negative API scenarios.
SQL: Basic queries, joins, filtering, aggregations and database validation.
QA Methodology: SDLC, STLC, defect lifecycle, regression strategy, test planning and risk-based testing.
Communication: Professional written and spoken English is specifically required.
Azure is an advantage but is not mandatory.
π― Preparation Tips
Don’t spend your entire preparation time memorizing Playwright commands.
The biggest differentiator in this role is the QA mindset.
Take a simple feature such as a login page and prepare scenarios beyond:
β‘οΈ Valid username + valid password.
Think about:
πΉ Expired passwords
πΉ Locked accounts
πΉ Multiple simultaneous sessions
πΉ SQL injection attempts
πΉ Incorrect authentication headers
πΉ Network interruption
πΉ Duplicate requests
πΉ Browser refresh during submission
πΉ Session timeout
πΉ Extremely long inputs
πΉ Special characters
πΉ API returning partial or malformed data
Then identify which scenarios should be manually explored and which should become automated regression tests.
For Playwright, revise locators, auto-waiting, fixtures, hooks, assertions, test isolation, parallel execution, screenshots/traces and flaky-test troubleshooting.
π€ Expected Interview Rounds
1οΈβ£ Recruiter/Initial Screening
Discussion around experience, availability, remote work, English communication, compensation expectations and employment arrangement.
2οΈβ£ QA Technical Interview
Expect questions around manual testing, test design, Playwright, TypeScript, C#, API testing and SQL.
3οΈβ£ Practical/Technical Assessment
You may be asked to automate a web scenario, design API tests, debug a failing test or write SQL queries.
4οΈβ£ Hiring Manager/Engineering Round
Expect scenario-based discussions covering risk identification, automation decisions, debugging and collaboration with developers.
5οΈβ£ Final Client/Team Discussion
For a US-based engagement, an additional client or team interview may evaluate communication, ownership and ability to work independently.
π° Salary Range
The advertisement does not provide a specific compensation figure; it only states that the role is paid in USD.
As a broad market reference, remote senior QA automation roles can vary substantially based on location, engagement model and whether the person is hired as an employee or contractor. For example, a recent remote SDET/QA Automation role requiring C#, Playwright, API testing and SQL lists $50,000β$63,000 annually, illustrating one market benchmark rather than the compensation for this particular opening.
Candidates should therefore confirm the exact USD salary/rate, payment frequency, contract type, benefits and tax responsibilities directly with the recruiter.
π Resume Tips for This JD
Your resume should immediately show the combination of Manual QA + Automation + API + C# + Playwright + TypeScript + SQL.
A strong experience bullet could look like:
βDesigned and maintained Playwright-based automated regression suites using TypeScript, while validating REST APIs with C# and SQL-backed test data.β
Also highlight:
β Number of automated scenarios
β Reduction in regression effort
β API automation coverage
β Flaky-test reduction
β SQL/database validation
β Root-cause analysis examples
β Framework improvements
β CI/CD exposure
β Cross-functional collaboration
Do not simply list Playwright and C# in the skills sectionβshow how you used them and what impact they produced.
π© How to Apply
Interested candidates can DM toΒ Iara TorresΒ and share updated resume if their experience matches the job requirements.
Before applying, confirm:
π Employer/client name
