Senior Quality Engineer - Remote | LATAM

This is a remote position.

We're working alongside a boutique consultancy focused exclusively on QA/QE talent, placing this Senior Quality Engineer directly with one of their long-term clients — a technology-enabled healthcare services company coordinating specialty care for injured workers nationally. You'll embed directly into UOC, a greenfield .NET microservices platform connecting six lines of business (Physical Therapy, Diagnostics, Home Health, DME, Translation, Driver Dispatch) to tools like the Adjuster Dashboard — getting in early on a system still being built, not maintaining legacy code.

The role starts hands-on: manual functional, exploratory, and regression testing while you build real domain knowledge. From there, you'll grow into automation ownership and shift-left practices. You'll be embedded with PMs and developers, with real workday overlap and a seat in planning, ceremonies, and requirements review — not a "wait for the ticket" role. We're looking for someone who asks "why does it work this way" before being told to, and wants a role they can genuinely shape from day one.

What you'll do

• Execute functional, exploratory, and regression testing across a complex, service-oriented platform
  
• Validate data integrity via SQL; trace defects across multi-system, cross-LOB environments
  
• Manage test cases and work items (TestRail, Azure DevOps or equivalents)
  
• Participate in planning, acceptance-criteria review, and requirements analysis — not just testing after the fact
  
• Join dailies and retros as a full product team member
  
• Present findings and quality risk clearly to engineering and other stakeholders
  
• Build toward automation ownership (Playwright preferred) as you establish domain depth
  

Requirements

• 5–10 years in Quality Engineering, with strong fundamentals - not just years executing test scripts
  
• Genuinely comfortable in manual testing, including ambiguous, complex domains
  
• Engineering mindset: coverage strategy and test architecture, not just pass/fail
  
• SQL proficiency for data validation
  
• Automation exposure with Playwright preferred -  or a clear, active drive to get there
  
• Advanced English and strong communication - comfortable presenting to stakeholders directly
  
• Comfortable with meaningful daily overlap with a U.S.- based team
  

Benefits

• Real ownership from day one on a system that's still being built
  
• A clear growth path from hands-on execution into automation and quality strategy
  
• Fully remote, contractor engagement, open to strong candidates across LATAM
