TransPerfect has global headquarters in New York, with regional headquarters in London and Hong Kong.

We're a small team inside TransPerfect building a massive internal platform a low-code application builder that's powering how our entire company operates. It's ambitious, it's complex, and it's not "done." That's exactly why it's fun.

Think:

Not just a bug-logging role

You'll shape quality standards and help build testing infrastructure from the ground up

Complex, data-driven interfaces that need thorough, thoughtful QA

Enterprise-scale impact... without enterprise-level red tape

We operate more like a startup embedded inside a global company. We move fast, figure things out as we go, and need people who are excited to make sure what we build actually works-reliably, at scale, every time.

You won't just find bugs. You'll help define what "quality" means for this platform.

Write, execute, and maintain manual and automated test cases for a drag-and-drop application builder

Identify, document, and track bugs with clear, reproducible steps

Collaborate closely with frontend engineers to catch issues early in the dev cycle

Help build out regression test suites as features evolve

Contribute to QA processes and documentation that grow with the team

Participate in sprint planning and review to understand what's being shipped and what needs coverage

We're not looking for someone who just runs a checklist and closes tickets.

We're looking for someone who:

Asks "what could go wrong here?" before a feature ships

Is comfortable when specs are incomplete or evolving

Can think from the user's perspective, not just the test plan

Takes ownership of quality

Communicates clearly with engineers, not just in Jira

Wants a career in quality engineering, not just a job

If you've worked somewhere perfectly structured with locked-down processes: this will feel different. If you've ever found a bug no one else caught and felt genuinely good about it: you'll fit right in.

We don't expect you to know everything on day one. You should have a solid foundation in:

Understanding of the software developer lifecycle (SDLC) and QA methodologies

Experience writing test cases, test plans, and bug reports

Familiarity with functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing

Comfort working in Agile/Scrum environments

Bug tracking tools: Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar

Basic understanding of browser developer tools for frontend debugging

Familiarity with API testing concepts (Postman or similar is a plus)

Exposure to test automation frameworks: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar

Basic scripting ability in JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python

Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how automated tests fit in

We need QA engineers who care about UX, not just pass/fail.

You notice when something works technically but feels broken to a user

You think about edge cases that live in the gap between spec and reality

You can communicate UX observations clearly to engineers and PMs

Let's be real:

We're building something big with a small team

The structure isn't perfect

Priorities can shift

We're figuring some things out as we go

But also:

You'll have real ownership over quality-not just a slice of a ticket queue

Your findings will actually change what ships

You won't be stuck running the same regression suite forever

You'll help define how QA evolves on this platform

If you're looking for:

A highly structured, perfectly documented test environment this isn't it

A chance to build quality practices from the ground up this is it

Real ownership at the start of your QA career this is it

This is a role for someone who wants to:

Build, not just execute

Influence what ships, not just report what broke

Grow into a QA engineer who understands the whole product

Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience (Computer Science, IT, or related field preferred)

0-2 years of QA or software testing experience (internship or project work counts)

Strong attention to detail and analytical thinking

Clear written communication, you'll be writing a lot of bug reports

AI can be a useful tool, but our engineers are expected to function without it

At TransPerfect, there are real growth opportunities. We encourage continuous dialogue with management about your path whether that's deepening your automation expertise, moving into SDET work, or growing into a QA lead role. All of that is on the table.

For more than 25 years, we've built a culture where ideas are shared and new ventures are welcomed. From Intern to President, every employee should have a voice. We offer comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401k matching, child-care provider membership, and other TransPerks.

We're not pretending this is a polished, perfectly structured role.

We are saying: if you're the kind of QA engineer who asks hard questions, thrives on making complex software better, and wants to help shape something meaningful from early in your career-

You'll probably love it here.
