Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more. Base pay range $50.00/hr - $50.00/hr Software releases today are plagued by sluggish delivery timelines and defect‑heavy products, primarily because testing approaches remain outdated. Conventional QA methods—including those relying on rudimentary automation—struggle to identify critical defects early in the lifecycle, resulting in expensive setbacks and dissatisfied end users. Industry data reveals that more than 60 % of software defects surface after release, and quality failures impose costs exceeding $2 trillion annually on the global software sector. Meeting the need for rapid, dependable software requires a fundamental shift in quality assurance strategy. IgniteTech is pioneering this transformation by embedding GenAI capabilities across all phases of the QA lifecycle. Leveraging AI to model user interactions, produce intricate test scenarios, and evaluate defect patterns allows us to ship releases more quickly with reduced bug counts. Becoming part of our team means standing at the cutting edge of technological advancement and applying AI to remove bottlenecks and anticipate issues before they materialize. This is not a conventional QA role. If you are seeking an environment centered on manual test runs or repetitive scripted automation, this position will not suit you. In this role, you will drive the design and continuous improvement of AI‑powered test automation platforms, apply predictive analytics to surface latent risks, and contribute to redefining software quality standards. You will serve as the engineer behind adaptive, scalable solutions tailored to the demands of contemporary development—not a participant in an inflexible, legacy workflow. If this represents the challenge you have been seeking, submit your application now and influence the trajectory of software engineering.
