Senior QA Automation Engineer (Tax Prep Cluster)

About the role

****The Tax Prep Cluster is part of TaxDome’s core platform — the back-office hub for accounting firms. We manage the end-to-end tax preparation process, from collecting client data to delivering finalized tax returns. Our goal is to make the tax preparation experience seamless, automated, and AI-driven. We are looking for a Senior Web QA Engineer who combines strong automation expertise with a product mindset — someone who understands web application architecture, can analyze requirements, build reliable automated tests, and help others do the same.

You’ll work on:

• Intake Flow — smart document & data collection (questionnaires, checklists, automation)

• Tax Preparation Flow — validation and secure transfer to external tax systems

• Delivery Flow — finalized returns, e-signatures, and payments

Each flow uses AI-based document handling and LLM assistants to reduce manual work and improve accuracy.

Project stack: Ruby on Rails (6+), PostgreSQL, React, Typescript on the frontend, Docker, AWS infrastructure, implementing k8s; configured CI/CD on GitLab. Automation stack: Ruby, RSpec, Capybara, SitePrism, Playwright

Your Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with PMs and developers during requirement clarification; define acceptance criteria

• Design and maintain automated tests (API/UI/integration) for complex web workflows

• Create and update test documentation in TMS

• Analyze logs and monitoring data (AWS, S3, application logs) to diagnose issues and validate system behavior

• Integrate suites into CI/CD (GitLab), track flaky tests and automation debt

• Mentor teammates on test design and automation best practices

Our expectations:

• 5 + years in QA with a strong automation background (preferably Ruby or JS/TS; other stacks welcome)

• Experience with RSpec/Capybara/SitePrism or Playwright (preferred, but not mandatory)

• Solid understanding of automation patterns and best practices

• Ability to read and understand Front-end and Back-end code to design effective test scenarios

• Familiarity with CI/CD (GitLab) and containerized environments (Docker, K8s)

• Strong communication, ownership, and attention to detail

Preferred

• Basic understanding of non-functional testing (performance, security smoke)

• Interest in AI-assisted testing tools

Why join us:

• Impact a core web product used by thousands of accounting firms

• Use a practical automation stack: RSpec/Capybara (Ruby), Playwright (TypeScript), GitLab CI, Docker, K8s

• Product-driven culture, remote-friendly, opportunities to grow toward QA leadership or SDET

Please note that while we value every application, we will contact only shortlisted candidates.

Join us to scale robust automation for the core Tax Prep experience—so accountants can deliver faster, clearer results to their clients.
