QA Engineer

Landjourney develops purpose-built software for agricultural lending companies, supporting the complex workflows of lenders who finance farmland, equipment, and ag operations across North America. Our platform helps lending professionals manage loan origination, land portfolio analysis, and regulatory compliance with speed and precision. Quality is central to our product and our culture — the decisions our customers make depend on it.

About the Role

Landjourney is seeking an experienced QA Engineer to own quality across our lending platform. This is a hands‑on role that spans manual exploratory testing, automated end‑to‑end test development using Playwright, and the integration of AI‑assisted tooling into modern testing workflows. In addition to internal quality responsibilities, this role includes direct support of Landjourney's platform customers — the agricultural lending companies who rely on our software daily — helping them resolve bugs, answer technical questions, and feel confident in the product. The successful candidate will work closely with developers, product managers, and customers to ensure software reliability, identify defects early, and contribute to a culture of continuous quality improvement. While this position is primarily remote after onboarding, candidates must be available to work in‑office during the initial onboarding period, during integration releases, and on‑demand following prior coordination with the team. We have a preference for candidates based in Calgary, AB or Montreal, QC, or those able to align with Central/Mountain Time working hours.

Responsibilities

Test Planning & Execution

• Design and execute comprehensive test plans covering functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing scenarios
• Develop domain fluency in agricultural lending workflows — including loan origination, land valuation, and compliance processes — to write meaningful, business‑aware test cases
• Identify, document, and track defects with precision; communicate risk clearly to development and product stakeholders
• Participate in sprint planning and backlog grooming to assess testability and raise quality concerns proactively

Test Automation

• Build, maintain, and continuously expand an end‑to‑end automated test suite using Playwright
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or equivalent) to accelerate test authoring, generate edge‑case scenarios, and enhance coverage analysis
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines; define and enforce quality gates prior to deployment
• Write modular, maintainable, well‑documented test code suitable for long‑term team use

Platform Customer Support

• Serve as a primary technical point of contact for Landjourney's platform customers (agricultural lending companies) on issues related to bugs, unexpected behaviour, and product questions
• Triage incoming support requests, reproduce reported issues in test environments, and communicate clear timelines and resolutions back to customers
• Distinguish between user error, configuration issues, and genuine software defects; expand confirmed bugs to the development team with thorough reproduction steps and environment details
• Maintain a support log and feed customer‑reported issues back into the QA process — ensuring recurring problems are covered by automated regression tests
• Build strong working relationships with platform customers, acting as a knowledgeable and responsive liaison between their teams and Landjourney engineering

Collaboration & Quality Advocacy

• Partner with developers to shift quality left — reviewing requirements, participating in design reviews, and providing testing input during feature development
• Maintain test documentation, QA runbooks, and internal standards
• Evaluate and recommend new QA tooling and AI‑augmented testing practices as the landscape evolves
• Serve as a quality advocate across the engineering team, raising the bar on testability and release confidence

Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of professional QA experience in a software product environment
• Demonstrated experience writing automated tests with Playwright, or a comparable framework (Cypress, Selenium) with a clear commitment to transition
• Experience with API testing (REST) using Playwright, Postman, Insomnia, or equivalent tooling
• Solid analytical and investigative skills — the ability to identify where complex workflows are likely to fail
• Clear, thorough defect documentation and strong written communication skills
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)

Preferred Skills

• Experience in fintech, lending, insurance, or other regulated industry software
• Exposure to agricultural lending, land valuation, or related financial domains
• Practical experience using AI coding tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, etc.) to write, review, or improve test code
• Familiarity with test management platforms (Jira, TestRail, or similar)
• Basic SQL proficiency for backend data validation

• Competitive base salary, commensurate with experience and market rates
• Stock options package — share in the company's growth from day one
• Comprehensive group health coverage, health and wellness spending account
• Generous paid time off (PTO) policy
• Hybrid role – possibility to work remote most of the time. Preference given to applicants located in Calgary, AB or Montreal, QC
• In‑office presence is required during the onboarding period, during integration releases, and on‑demand with prior notice — candidates must be able to commit to on‑site availability for these occasions
• Access to modern tooling and a team culture that actively encourages experimentation with AI‑assisted workflows
