**About the role**

Our QA-Core team exists so that every engineering team at Upgrade can test its software quickly and have confidence in the results. We are looking for a senior QA Automation Engineer to design and build test automation infrastructure, tools, and agentic solutions to increase engineering productivity. This is not a traditional product QA role — it is a build role. You will work closely with our product teams to understand their automation needs, design services from scratch, deploy them to production clusters, and take ownership of them.

**_This position is fully remote and open to candidates based in Canada._**

**Our core technologies include**

Java, Python, Kubernetes, Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, TestNG, Maven, Git, Jenkins, ArgoCD, SQL, Grafana, SumoLogic, Docker, Gatling, Claude Code, MCP server

**What you will do**

- Design and own the automation framework for functional and performance testing.
- Build agents to automate existing QA/testing workflows and reduce engineering friction.
- Build the applications and services on which automation depends, and deploy and operate them in production environments.
- Take prototypes all the way through. Build demos in a timely manner, gather feedback from the teams who will use them, and iterate through successive releases until they are robust, monitored, and operating at a mature level of quality.
- Identify gaps in existing frameworks and tools, and iterate toward solutions that close them.

**What we are looking for**

- 5 to 7+ years of experience building production software, with proven expertise in test infrastructure, test frameworks, and developer tooling, as well as solid hands-on knowledge of platform engineering.
- Proven experience building agentic solutions and test automation frameworks from scratch — designed, delivered, iterated on, and adopted as part of how other engineers work.
- Mastery of agentic coding tools as part of your daily work: ability to orchestrate multiple agents to carry out tasks and to review pull requests (PRs) generated by agents.
- Hands-on experience with microservices, Kubernetes, and deployment lifecycle management.
- Ability to turn an ambiguous problem statement into a well-scoped, defensible solution, autonomously.

**What we offer**

- Competitive salary and stock option plan
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage
- Flexible paid time off
- Growth and professional development opportunities
- Paid parental leave
- Health and wellness initiatives

**Language**

English is required for this position, as it involves interacting with staff at Upgrade's offices worldwide.
