## About the Role

* Associate degree or equivalent experience in a quantitative field required; bachelor's degree preferred. Relevant fields include computer science, information systems, data science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, accounting, finance, and economics.
 * Strong ability to understand and reason through complex relational data models, including schemas, relationships, foreign keys, and valid data states.
 * Demonstrated curiosity about how a business operates and the ability to learn an unfamiliar domain quickly by asking effective questions and building a strong understanding of expected outcomes.
 * Ability to read TypeScript and PHP well enough to understand application behavior and evaluate whether test code and AI-generated outputs are valid.
 * Solid understanding of the software testing lifecycle, including functional, regression, integration, exploratory, and user acceptance testing.
 * Strong judgment in evaluating test quality, including the ability to recognize tests that pass without meaningfully validating expected behavior.
 * Self-directed, detail-oriented, and comfortable working through ambiguity, changing requirements, and frequent releases without sacrificing quality.
 * Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate between technical teams and business users.
 * Working comfort with AI tools for generating test cases, test data, and scripts, or demonstrated aptitude and interest in making AI a regular part of the testing process.
 * Preferred experience with Vitest, Playwright, Angular Testing Library, Foundry or similar factory/seeding tools, relational data analysis, systems/ERP implementation, professional services, accounting, or advisory environments.

## Description

* Design, build, and maintain automated test coverage, including unit, integration, end-to-end, and regression testing, across Angular frontends and Symfony/PHP APIs.
 * Maintain and extend the frontend unit test suite in Vitest, adding meaningful coverage as features are developed and the codebase evolves.
 * Create and maintain Foundry factories and test data that provide realistic development examples and stable records for automated testing.
 * Perform manual and exploratory testing when human judgment is more effective than automation in identifying quality or usability issues.
 * Own testing through user acceptance testing (UAT), including writing clear, non-technical test scripts and scenarios for Product and stakeholder review.
 * Triage, document, and track defects with clear reproduction steps; verify fixes and confirm that changes do not introduce regressions.
 * Partner with Development and Product early to review specifications and acceptance criteria, identify edge cases, and build quality into the solution from the start.
 * Use AI tools to accelerate test case creation, exploratory test design, test data, and script authoring while independently validating all outputs.
 * Help define and maintain quality standards, test coverage expectations, and release-readiness criteria as the application portfolio grows.
