About Bluecopa

Bluecopa is an AI-native finance operations platform that automates Record-to-Report (R2R), Order-to-Cash (O2C), and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) on a single unified data spine — so finance teams close faster, reconcile at scale, and run on real-time, trustworthy numbers. We exist to bring finance into its next age of tooling, and eventually make it autonomous.

Position Overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic QA Engineer to join our quality engineering team. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in software testing fundamentals and a genuine curiosity to learn modern automation, API, and database testing practices.

This is a hands-on role where you will execute test cases, contribute to automation suites under the guidance of senior engineers, and grow into a well-rounded quality professional. In a finance product, accuracy matters — and you will play a key part in helping us maintain that standard.

Key Responsibilities

• Review Requirements: Review requirements, user stories, and design documents to understand product functionality and identify test scenarios.
• Test Case Management: Write clear, detailed test cases and execute manual functional, regression, and exploratory testing across web applications.
• Automation Contribution: Contribute to test automation by writing and maintaining scripts using Playwright or Selenium under the guidance of senior engineers.
• API Testing: Perform basic API testing using tools like Postman to validate request/response behavior and integration points.
• Database Validation: Write SQL queries to validate data in backend databases and support test scenarios involving data verification.
• Defect Tracking: Log defects with clear reproduction steps, severity, and supporting evidence; follow up with developers until closure.
• Agile Participation: Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives as part of an Agile team.
• Collaboration: Collaborate with developers, product managers, and senior QA engineers to ensure high-quality releases.
• Process Adoption: Learn and adopt the team's automation framework, CI/CD practices, and testing tools.
• Continuous Learning: Continuously upskill in modern QA practices, including API automation and data validation techniques.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
• Experience: 1–2 years of hands-on experience in software quality assurance, including manual testing of web applications.
• Automation: Working knowledge of test automation using Playwright, Selenium, or a similar tool (academic projects, internships, or professional experience all count).
• SQL Skills: Basic understanding of SQL — able to write simple queries with SELECT, JOIN, WHERE, and GROUP BY for data validation.
• API Testing: Exposure to API testing concepts (REST) and tools like Postman.
• Programming Languages: Familiarity with at least one programming language: Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Python.
• QA Fundamentals: Understanding of the software development lifecycle, defect lifecycle, and core testing concepts.
• Version Control: Experience with version control systems (Git).
• Methodologies: Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and tools like JIRA.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to automation frameworks (Page Object Model, BDD, or data-driven).
• Experience integrating tests with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar).
