Senior Software Test Analyst

Senior Software Testing Analyst II – Hybrid Westbrook, Maine

Contract: 6 months (with potential for extension)

Location: Hybrid – 2 days/week onsite in Westbrook, Maine

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM EST

Level: Senior

Are you a detail-driven QA professional who thrives on testing complex systems and ensuring products work the way they’re supposed to — even under pressure?

We’re looking for a Senior Software Testing Analyst to join a collaborative team focused on backend and cloud-based application testing. This is not a front-end role. Instead, you'll be embedded in a modern DevOps environment, working closely with engineers to test cloud apps, APIs, microservices, and automation pipelines.

If you want to flex both your manual and automated testing skills, drive quality standards, and influence continuous improvement — this is a great place to do it.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Design, execute, and automate test plans for complex backend and cloud-based systems (AWS)

Collaborate directly with developers in a hybrid Agile environment

Conduct API testing, smoke testing, regression, and functional validation

Write and automate test scripts using PowerShell, Postman, Newman, and related tools

Analyze coverage and test results; track defects using Jira and Confluence

Contribute to QA best practices and process improvement initiatives

Act as a quality advisor across the team, with influence beyond your own deliverables

What You Bring to the Table:

Solid experience testing cloud applications (AWS preferred)

Proficiency in test automation and writing automated scripts

Strong communication and collaboration skills — you’re as comfortable in a team sync as in a testing framework

Hands-on experience with:

API testing, manual testing, and defect triage

Automation tools: Postman, Newman, PowerShell scripting

Test tools: TestRail, Swagger, Jira

Basic SQL/Oracle queries

Bonus if you have experience with microservice testing and GitHub

Why This Role Might Be a Great Fit:

You want to work on modern backend systems, not just UI testing

You enjoy a balance of manual and automated testing

You’re excited to be part of a smart, motivated team that takes quality seriously

You like a hybrid work model with both focus time and team collaboration

Ready to Apply?

This is a high-impact contract role for a senior tester who’s ready to step into a tech-forward, quality-first environment. If you're passionate about backend systems, cloud testing, and automation — and you love ensuring things just work — we want to hear from you.
