Job Description

Quality Engineer

Montreal │ Hybrid │ Full-time

Why This Role Exists

Our engineering team is talented, tight-knit, and knows our product deeply. What we are building now is different — a modern, AI-native ERP platform with a TypeScript backend and React frontend, where quality is not a phase at the end of the cycle but an architectural concern from day one.

Quality has historically been treated as a separate function here. We are changing that, and this role is part of how. We need someone who brings the outside QE world in — not to tell us what we are doing wrong, but to raise the bar naturally through curiosity, tooling, and the way they work.

If you follow where AI-augmented testing is going, you have formed opinions about what good automation looks like, and you want to do real work in an environment that takes quality seriously — we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Actually Do

Build and evolve the test suite:

Work in TypeScript and Playwright to build end-to-end coverage across our platform, and help engineers contribute to that suite as part of normal delivery — not as an afterthought.

Work AI-native:

Use Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and TestSprite as primary tools — generating scaffolding, producing synthetic test data, exploring agentic testing patterns. Evaluate what genuinely changes the coverage equation and bring that back to the team.

Shift quality left:

Show up in design reviews. Ask the question about testability before the code is written. Keep the CI/CD pipeline fast and trustworthy. Help make quality the norm, not the exception.

Be part of the team:

This role sits inside the delivery team, not above it. Engineers and QE are jointly accountable for what ships. If you are used to being the last line of defence, this will feel different.

What You Bring

Technical foundation

• 2–5 years of QE or SDET experience, with hands-on involvement in building or contributing to an automation suite
• TypeScript — comfortable, not just familiar
• Playwright, Pact, Testcontainers, Jest
• CI/CD experience — GitHub Actions, GCP
• Docker and containerized environments

AI-native mindset

• Familiar with AI-driven testing tooling — Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, TestSprite, Playwright MCP — or actively moving in that direction
• We care more about how fast you learn and adopt than whether you’ve used every tool on this list

How you work

• You follow where QE is going, not just where it has been
• You have formed opinions about what good test automation looks like and can defend them without being dogmatic
• You communicate clearly and influence through insight, not process

Who We Are

We are a distributed team across Montreal and the Netherlands. We’ve been recognized as one of the Best Workplaces in Technology, Best Workplaces for Women, and Best Workplaces in Quebec, and we work hard to deserve those.

We make mistakes. We own them. We grow from them. If that sounds like your kind of place, read on.

In 2026, quality is not a gate at the end — it is what your customer experiences every single day. If building that kind of trust matters to you, we want to hear from you.

Start date: ASAP

Location: Montreal, hybrid (at least 1 day/week in office)
