JOB OVERVIEW

We’re looking to engage two QA Engineers to support ongoing delivery work.

Development and UAT are already in place. QA capacity is currently the constraint. This engagement is for someone who can begin immediately and take responsibility for test case creation, functional testing, and acceptance checks so work progresses to UAT without delay.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused engagement. The work involves writing test cases from user stories and acceptance criteria, executing functional and regression testing, validating readiness before UAT, logging issues clearly, and working directly with developers to resolve gaps.

The services may require reasonable availability overlapping with US CST for coordination purposes. Any such overlap will be mutually agreed and is intended solely to support collaboration.

We’re looking for individuals with solid QA or functional testing experience who are comfortable working independently, communicating clearly, and meeting agreed deliverables. Knowledge of ServiceNow is strongly preferred, particularly experience testing workflow-driven systems, but it is not mandatory.

This is a remote independent contractor engagement. Compensation is based solely on services actually performed and approved. No minimum hours, fixed schedule, or exclusivity is required or implied. A short paid trial period may be used to assess mutual fit before any extended engagement. Confidentiality and work product obligations apply as per contract.

If you prefer clear expectations, outcome-based work, and professional autonomy, this engagement should be a good fit.

To apply, please respond to the screening questions below with clear and accurate information. Incomplete or vague responses may not be considered.

Screening questions:

How many years of hands-on QA or functional testing experience do you have? Briefly describe the types of systems or applications you have tested.

Are you currently engaged with other clients? If yes, please disclose at a high level and confirm that you have sufficient capacity to meet the expected deliverables for this engagement.

What is your realistic weekly availability for this engagement, and are you comfortable with agreed coordination overlap with US CST when required?

Describe your experience creating test cases from user stories and acceptance criteria. How do you typically determine readiness for UAT?

Have you worked with Agile or sprint-based delivery teams before? Briefly explain how QA fit into your past engagements.

Do you have experience testing ServiceNow or other workflow-driven enterprise platforms? If yes, please describe. If no, please state clearly.

This engagement may begin immediately and may start with a short paid trial focused on defined deliverables. Are you able to begin within the next few days?

In past remote engagements, what has helped you maintain consistency and reliability across multiple clients?
