[Remote] QA Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Pennant Services, Inc. is seeking a QA Engineer to enhance the quality of their web application undergoing significant changes. The role involves hands-on testing, collaboration with application engineers, and building an end-to-end test suite to ensure functionality and prevent bugs before users encounter them.ResponsibilitiesTest features hands-on as they're built — exploratory testing, edge case hunting, and bug triage across our web application (Svelte front-end and Go backend)Partner with application engineers during development to clarify acceptance criteria, surface ambiguity early, and reduce the bugs that make it to QA in the first placeBuild and grow an end-to-end test suite using Playwright against our Svelte frontend, prioritizing the user flows that matter most to the businessDefine and document testing standards for the application team — what to test, what coverage looks like, how bugs are reported, and how regressions are preventedCoordinate with the DevSecOps engineer to ensure functional tests integrate cleanly into the existing CI/CD pipelineManage test data responsibly, including working with synthetic or de-identified datasets when testing against healthcare data sourcesParticipate in agile ceremonies — sprint planning, refinement, retros — as a full member of the application team, not a separate functionSkills3–6 years in a QA or test engineering role, ideally on web application teamsStrong testing instincts — you find bugs because you're curious about how things break, not just because you ran a scriptHands-on experience with E2E test automation for web applications (Playwright preferred; Cypress, Selenium, or similar acceptable)Comfort reading code in at least one modern language. You don't need to be a developer, but you should be able to follow what a feature does without hand-holdingSolid understanding of HTTP, REST APIs, and how to test them (Postman, curl, or equivalent)Clear written communication — bug reports, test plans, and documentation are a significant part of the jobComfort working in an environment where things are actively being built and refined. You won't have a perfectly stable target to test againstExperience testing applications built on modern JavaScript frameworks (Svelte, React, Vue, or similar). Direct Svelte experience is a plus but not required — we'll happily teach the framework to a strong testerFamiliarity with Go — enough to read it and write basic tests, not full development fluencyExposure to healthcare data, HIPAA, or other regulated-data environments, including practices for working with PHI in test environmentsExperience using AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) in a testing or QA context. We're rolling these out across the team and welcome candidates who are curious about how they change the QA disciplineExperience contributing to or shaping testing strategy on a team, not just executing test plans handed to youFamiliarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions in particular) and how automated tests fit into themCompany OverviewAt Pennant, we are driven by a simple truth: exceptional care begins with exceptional leadership.
