Senior Quality Test Engineer

Limelight is a modern FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) SaaS platform helping finance teams move beyond spreadsheets and static budgets. We enable CFOs and FP&A teams to model, forecast, and analyze financial performance in real time—with speed, confidence, and governance.

We’re looking for an experienced QA Automation Engineer to help us scale a high-quality, reliable SaaS platform used for mission-critical financial decision-making.

As part of Limelight’s Product Development team, you’ll own and evolve our automated testing strategy—ensuring stability, performance, and trust across everything we ship, from core financial modeling to AI-driven features.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building robust automation frameworks, collaborating closely with developers and product managers, and raising the quality bar across the organization.

• Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks for a modern web-based SaaS platform

• Create and execute functional, regression, integration, and release validation tests

• Validate complex workflows involving financial data, calculations, and models

• Build and maintain API automation (REST/JSON) and integrate into CI/CD pipelines

• Identify, document, and track defects with clear reproduction steps and impact analysis

• Ensure high confidence in every release with a strong focus on reliability and user trust

• Partner closely with the team to understand requirements and acceptance criteria

• Provide quality input and risk assessment during sprint planning and release cycles

• Communicate testing results, quality risks, and recommendations clearly and proactively

  What You Bring

• 3+ years of QA automation experience in SaaS or web-based applications

• Strong hands-on experience with API testing (REST/JSON, auth, error handling) and running tests in CI (e.g., Postman + Newman)

• Experience with browser automation (Playwright preferred; Cypress, Selenium, or similar)

• Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript for test automation

• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (parallel runs, retries, artifacts, quality gates)

• Working knowledge of Git and SQL (PostgreSQL) for test data setup and validation

• Strong ability to debug end-to-end issues using browser DevTools and logs

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams and collaborating cross-functionally

• Ability to write clear, high-quality defect reports with evidence and impact

• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and analytical skills
   

  Nice to have:

• Experience testing AI/ML-driven features

• Experience with financial, analytics, or data-intensive platforms
  Education

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
