Overview:
As a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer at Two Barrels, you'll help us build better software by senioring (we know it's not a word, but you still get it) our QA efforts with a thoughtful, hands-on approach. You'll collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and designers to ensure our web and software products meet high standards of usability, reliability, and overall quality. You'll take the lead on creating and maintaining meaningful automated test suites, and you won't hesitate to dig into a manual test when it makes sense. You'll work in an agile environment, helping us scope and test new features, squash bugs, and build testing into the development process from the ground up-not as an afterthought. You'll also serve as a mentor and resource for your fellow QA engineers, sharing best practices and helping us all level up. Most importantly, you'll bring curiosity, care, and a strong sense of ownership to everything you do.

Why you might like this job:
You get a weird sense of joy from finding bugs-not because you like breaking things, but because you love making them better. You think testing isn't something tacked on at the end-it's baked in from the start. You're not into drama, but you are into delivering solid, working software with as few surprises as possible. You like working with smart, quirky people who care more about doing good work than inflating job titles. You're comfortable being the person who asks, "Hey... what happens if we click this 47 times?" And when the answer is "it crashes everything," you're already writing a ticket-with steps to reproduce and maybe a GIF, because why not? You're not afraid to learn, teach, ask questions, or push back when something doesn't "click" right. You take your work seriously-but not yourself.
Benefits:
- Great Wage & Success Meetings with your manager
- Work From Home comfort package & company provided equipment
- 22 days paid time off annually, PLUS 4 paid holidays
