Role Overview
As a QA Level I, you are an essential part of ensuring the quality of Superna's software. In addition to executing test cases and identifying defects, you will begin leveraging AI-assisted tools and automation frameworks to improve testing efficiency and coverage.
This role is designed for individuals early in their QA career who are eager to learn modern testing practices, including AI-driven testing and test automation, while contributing to high-quality software delivery.
What You’ll Do
Execute manual and automated test cases; document results with accuracy and traceability.
Identify, document, and track defects in Jira throughout the bug lifecycle.
Design, optimize, and expand test plans and test cases for new and existing features, leveraging AI-assisted tools where applicable.
Contribute to test planning and review sessions, including sprint and release planning.
Collaborate with developers to reproduce, investigate, and resolve reported issues.
Support shift-left practices by engaging early in requirements review and feature design.
Build and maintain test environments to support reliable and repeatable testing.
Work within an Agile/Scrum workflow, participating in daily standups and sprint ceremonies.
Continuously grow QA skills, with emphasis on automation, tooling, and AI-assisted testing techniques.
The Skills and Knowledge You Bring
Basic understanding of software testing concepts (manual and introductory automation) including the SDLC and defect lifecycle.
Basic knowledge of test strategy fundamentals — including common testing types (functional, regression, smoke, integration, exploratory) and the principles of test coverage.
Familiarity with bug tracking tools (Jira preferred).
Experience writing or maintaining test cases in a test management tool.
Familiarity with Linux environments and common command-line operations.
Exposure to containerized or virtualized test environments (e.g., Docker, VMs).
Basic understanding of how APIs and web applications work.
Ability to follow and execute test plans while identifying opportunities to improve coverage or automate repetitive steps.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate documentation.
Clear written and verbal communication skills.
A curious mindset with the ability and willingness to learn new technologies quickly.
Solid foundational problem-solving skills.
Ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment and contribute to shared goals.
Comfortable working in an Agile/Scrum environment with regular standups and sprint cycles.
Exposure to, or willingness to learn, test automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar).
Exposure to, or strong interest in, using AI tools to enhance productivity and testing workflows (e.g., Claude).
Nice-to-Have:
Basic scripting or programming knowledge (e.g., Python, JavaScript, or Bash).
Familiarity with unstructured storage platforms (e.g., Dell PowerScale, Pure Storage, or similar).
Awareness of cybersecurity concepts and secure software practices.
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines or automated test execution workflows.
