Your Role at impact.com : As a Quality Assurance Engineer in the Finance Invoicing Squad at impact.com, you will treat our software architecture as a dynamic, living system, directly aligning your testing strategies with critical financial outcomes and long-term customer value. You will leverage high adaptability and numerical logic to move fast, avoid analysis paralysis, and build automated and manual testing structures that scale seamlessly as our platform grows. Operating in an entrepreneurial, high-accountability, blame-free culture where ambition, curiosity, and diverse perspectives are rewarded, you will utilize Playwright, SQL, and API testing methodologies to deliver high-quality software. This role carries a unique dual mandate: providing direct influence through every phase of the feature delivery workflow while ensuring the persistent health of our invoicing and ledger infrastructures. You will optimize for future system health with a zero-tolerance stance on data inconsistency, delivery delays, or hidden single points of failure. What You'll Do: Automation Engineering & Scalability Playwright Framework Expansion: Design, configure, and scale a modular automated regression pack using Playwright to validate complex end-to-end user billing journeys, invoices, payment routing flows, and overall system interfaces. Predictive Pipeline Execution: Ensure daily test suites run smoothly on schedule. Efficiently debug test failures using execution traces, video recordings, and artifacts to isolate backend root causes from superficial symptoms. Code Review & Continuity: Review and action pull requests within the QA repository, ensuring that the automated test framework remains thoroughly documented with a strict focus on system continuity. Cloud Infrastructure Emulation: Utilize cloud testing platforms to perform targeted manual and visual mobile web audits, evaluating layout boundaries and touch thresholds across diverse physical and virtual device profiles. AI-Augmented Testing: Leverage LLM-based tooling and coding assistants to accelerate test authoring, generate synthetic data for edge-case coverage, and rapidly triage log signals. Crucially, you will apply a "verify-first" mental model—using AI for velocity, but applying deterministic, human-led verification for all financial calculations where accuracy is non-negotiable. Data, Analysis & Manual Testing Mastery Rigorous Test Planning: Review product designs and technical requirements throughout the SDLC to ensure they are correct, unambiguous, and verifiable, proactively recommending architectural corrections to engineers. Abstract Problem Solving: Analyze ambiguous user stories, ledger requirements, and system profiles to break down complex architectures into detailed test plans containing explicit functional, integration, regression, smoke, and sanity test cases. Advanced SQL & Data Auditing: Apply data-driven judgment and advanced SQL queries to review 24-hour application and batch logs, performing deep schema validation and database integrity chec…
