Sr. QA Engineer

Since 2012, Rightsline has been making work easier for rights and royalties professionals with our innovative rights and royalties management software, allowing our customers to maximize their portfolios without having to max out their daily to-do-lists.

Our fully integrated and configurable platform provides customers with comprehensive access to all their rights and royalties, across all markets and platforms, instantly. Departments can communicate, collaborate, and cohesively take action without worrying about mistakes; and in-app reports and timely alerts ensure our customers never miss an opportunity to do more.

Rightsline is looking for a Senior QA Engineer to join our Quality & Experience team and take real ownership of the quality bar for our platform. Reporting to the Manager of QA and based in Toronto, Ontario on a hybrid-basis, you'll work closely with Engineering, Product, and the wider Quality team bringing a meticulous, logical approach to testing and coding, sharp communication skills, and a genuine drive to solve hard problems. Experience testing enterprise software is a strong plus, and a real appetite to learn and adapt is essential.

As a Senior QA Engineer, you'll be one of the biggest drivers of quality across Rightsline's platform interpreting feature requirements, designing and executing test cases, and owning the automated testing strategy that keeps our releases fast and dependable. This role is central to building the most comprehensive, intuitive, technology-forward platform for managing intellectual property, and you'll do it alongside a team that's just as invested in getting it right as you are.

• Own the quality of key features end to end from interpreting requirements through functional, regression, and smoke testing for your assigned Scrum team

• Evaluate and test change requests to confirm the software meets defined requirements before it ships

• Investigate issues uncovered during testing, get to the root cause, and update tests so they catch it next time

• Design and build clean, lean automated tests using the Playwright framework to cut out repetitive manual work

• Keep the test repository healthy readable, maintainable, and well-organized through regular refactoring

• Review pull requests promptly to raise our code quality bar and keep projects moving

• Research, pitch, and implement new tools that make our testing sharper and more efficient

• Partner daily with Engineers, DevOps, Product, Support, and Business Analysts to keep quality embedded in how we build

• Drive ongoing improvements to our QA processes, not just follow them

• Communicate implementation issues, delays, and mitigation plans clearly and early

• Support scheduled releases and, on occasion, urgent after-hours patches to keep the platform running for our customers

• Mentor fellow QA team members on automation best practices

• Ownership of the software testing life cycle (STLC) end to end

• Strong object-oriented programming skills, including asynchronous JavaScript

• Seasoned experience with load and performance testing tools such as JMeter and BlazeMeter

• High proficiency with Git version control

• Proven experience testing as part of an Agile/Scrum team, partnering with engineers to shape testing strategy throughout the sprint

• 5+ years of QA automation experience, having owned the software testing life cycle (STLC) end to end

• Expertise designing, building, and debugging automated test suites, with 5+ years testing REST/API services using Postman

• 5+ years writing, executing, and reporting on manual and automated test cases smoke, sanity, functional, integration, and regression

• Working knowledge of web application and relational database architecture

• Proven track record building and maintaining release pipelines, and managing deployment schedules, risks, and impediments

• Familiarity with bug-tracking tools such as Jira and TestMo
