Behavior Assistant Jobs in Kentucky (NOW HIRING)

The Software Quality Assurance Analyst is responsible for validating the functionality, reliability, and overall quality of our applications through structured and thorough testing practices. This role works closely with software engineers and stakeholders to ensure that features meet requirements, behave as expected across environments, and are delivered with confidence.

In addition to testing responsibilities, this role will develop deep knowledge of platform workflows, integrations, and expected behaviors, becoming a subject matter expert capable of supporting semi-technical questions from internal teams and external customers. The position emphasizes hands‑on functional and regression testing, with a focus on understanding how the system is used in practice, identifying defects, and ensuring consistent behavior across APIs and user interfaces.

While primarily manual in approach, the role will incorporate automation where it meaningfully improves efficiency and repeatability, particularly for regression and high‑value test scenarios.
