━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🐾 About Us Kennel Connection is a US-based SaaS company serving pet care businesses. We are a product company, not an agency — we own and develop our software in-house and are building a long-term team.
🎯 Role Overview We are looking for an experienced Senior QA Engineer to own quality across our web application. This is a manual-first role with light automation — you will spend most of your time designing test plans, executing them, and finding issues before our customers do. You will also build and maintain a growing layer of automated regression tests where it makes sense.
You will work directly with developers, product, and support. This is a senior role with real ownership — not a junior tester following someone else's scripts.
🛠️ What You'll Do • Design and execute test plans for new features and regression cycles • Catch issues before release — functional, UX, edge cases, data integrity • Write, organize, and maintain test cases in Azure DevOps • File clean, reproducible bug reports developers can actually act on • Build out light test automation (browser-based, API-level) where it pays off • Use AI tools to work faster — generating test cases, drafting bug reports, exploring edge cases, and writing automation scripts • Help shape our overall QA process and release workflow • Collaborate closely with developers, product, and support
🔎 What We're Looking For • 5+ years of commercial QA experience • Strong manual testing skills on web applications • Experience testing ASP.NET / browser-based SaaS products • Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (or similar — Jira, TestRail) • Some experience writing automated tests (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or similar — we're not picky about the tool) • Comfortable leveraging AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, etc.) to accelerate test case writing, bug reproduction, and automation scripting • Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail • Clear, written English (B2+) — you will write a lot of bug reports and documentation • Looking for a stable, long-term role — not a short project
⭐ Nice to Have • SQL skills for verifying test data • Experience working with US-based product teams • Background in SaaS for SMB customers
🎁 We Offer • Long-term role in a stable, profitable SaaS company • Real ownership of QA across the product • Direct collaboration with developers and product — no layers of bureaucracy • Friendly, supportive team • Salary growth based on impact • Flexible hours (with 4 hour EST overlap)
