Overview

Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.

We are first and foremost a great team full of ambitious and proactive individuals whose goal is to become the best professionals they can be and make Digital Silk a globally renowned digital agency. Our quest for excellence has resulted in our company’s growth and continuous need for outstanding team members.

We are actively seeking an amazing Senior QA Engineer who possesses expertise in developing comprehensive test plans and test cases, identifying, analyzing, and meticulously documenting bugs, while also making valuable contributions to enhancing the overall quality of company-wide processes.

Digital Silk is built upon the principles of self-betterment, excellence, proactivity, and teamwork. If you share our passion and values, and want to be challenged and thrive in your career, then you’ll fit right in.

We are seeking senior-level candidates and offer competitive starting compensation and guaranteed raises, plus ownership in our company.

This is for a full-time, remote-work-at-home position as our headquarters are in the US. We do require team members to work 8 am to 5pm EST (with breaks) as our clients are in the US.

What we offer at Digital Silk

  • A work culture focused on mutual success and continuous growth
  • Competitive pay and scheduled yearly raises
  • Shares in the company – share in profit upon company sale
  • Challenging projects and opportunity to work with great team members
  • Job stability in case of illness and personal problems
  • Work-from-home opportunity
  • 4 weeks paid time off

Responsibilities

  • Develop detailed, comprehensive, and well-structured test plans, test cases, and acceptance criteria based on functional specifications, UX / UI designs (Figma), and business requirements.
  • Execute both frontend and backend / admin testing across WordPress, Shopify, and Magento.
  • Identify, document, and log clear, reproducible bugs with supporting evidence (screenshots / video / steps) and follow through until resolution.
  • Validate implementation accuracy against designs and development best practices.
  • Collaborate closely with developers, PMs, and designers to prevent issues early, not only detect them after delivery.
  • Track and maintain QA metrics such as open bugs, severity / priority ratios, and release readiness status.
  • Continuously improve QA frameworks, checklists, workflows, and company-wide quality standards, not just for individual projects.
  • Stay up to date with the latest web technology trends, accessibility (WCAG), SEO fundamentals, and security best practices to ensure quality extends beyond visual / functionality alone.
  • Requirements

  • Proven experience as a QA Engineer / Manual Tester for web development projects, ideally in an agency or multi-project environment.
  • Strong understanding of software QA methodologies, test planning, regression strategy, and defect lifecycle.
  • Solid experience testing WordPress (required) + familiarity with Shopify / Magento or similar CMS / eCommerce platforms.
  • Ability to test both frontend UI and backend / admin functionality — including forms, checkout flows, CMS logic, user roles, etc.
  • Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, JS, and web development best practices (to validate execution quality, not to code).
  • Experience reviewing Figma designs and validating accuracy, UX, and interaction flow.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, structured approach, and high accountability for ensuring zero critical issues reach production.
  • Proactive, solution-oriented mindset — willing to suggest improvements, not just flag problems.
  • Able to work independently while collaborating efficiently with developers, PMs, and strategists.
  • Experience performing basic Lighthouse / speed / WCAG accessibility audits
  • (Bonus) Experience with automation testing tools (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Ghost Inspector, etc.)
  • (Bonus) Familiarity with API testing (Postman, Swagger)
  • Application process

  • We are a growing digital agency and are seeking to make IMMEDIATE hires.
  • Apply via LinkedIn
  • Send back answers + CV
  • Have a short call with our Recruitment Team
  • Do a short test related to your job responsibilities
  • Technical interview with our Head of Development and COO
  • We kindly ask for your CV and all correspondence to be in English.
