Senior QA Engineer

About the role

You are the last line before go-live. Build test frameworks that every engineer runs locally before pushing, orchestrate UAT cycles with clients, and maintain the regression suite that prevents last quarter's bugs from shipping again. Expect heavy Python test authoring (Odoo's TransactionCase / HttpCase / tour tests), browser automation (Playwright), and policy work (gate criteria for release).

What you'll do

• Build and maintain Odoo module test suites — TransactionCase for ORM, HttpCase for HTTP flows, tour tests for UI
• Author Playwright regression suites covering end-to-end journeys (quote to cash, purchase to pay, inventory flows)
• Orchestrate UAT cycles with clients: scripts, test data, environment seeding, issue triage, sign-off criteria
• Maintain the release checklist — what must pass before a module ships to a client's production environment
• Partner with engineering on root-cause analysis for production incidents — authoring regression tests for every P1 fix
• Own performance testing for high-volume clients: load profiles, query-count regressions, worker scaling validation
• Build lightweight CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) that run the module suite on every PR
• Track and publish quality metrics: test coverage, defect escape rate, UAT cycle duration
• Train engineers on writing tests that fail meaningfully — not just "coverage theatre"
• Contribute back to the OCA runboat or upstream Odoo when you find framework bugs

What we're looking for

• 5+ years in software QA with 2+ years testing Odoo or a comparable ERP in production settings
• Strong Python — you write tests before asking engineers to write them for you
• Playwright or Selenium fluency for browser automation
• Deep understanding of Odoo's test harness, or a demonstrated ability to pick it up fast (e.g., django test expertise)
• Command of CI/CD — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar
• Calm, organized, and thorough — test plans that survive scope pivots mid-project
• Professional English for client UAT leadership

Nice to have

• French-Canadian fluency
• OCA contributions, especially around test tooling or runboat
• Performance-testing tooling (k6, JMeter, Locust)
• Accessibility-testing background (axe, Lighthouse, WCAG 2.2)
