Job description
TransPerfect Is More Than Just a Job...
Our greatest asset is our people, and nothing is more important to us than ensuring that everyone knows that. Each of our 100+ offices has its own individual identity, and each also has its own unique rewards.
0-2 Years Experience | Automation a Plus
Who We Are
TransPerfect is the world's largest provider of language services and technology solutions for global business. From offices in over 160 cities on six continents, TransPerfect offers a full range of services in 170+ languages to clients worldwide. More than 6,000 global organizations employ TransPerfect's GlobalLink® technology to simplify management of multilingual content. TransPerfect has global headquarters in New York, with regional headquarters in London and Hong Kong.
What We're Building
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.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
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
The Kind of QA Engineer This Role Needs
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.
Core Technical Skills
We don't expect you to know everything on day one. You should have a solid foundation in:
QA Fundamentals
• 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
Tools & Platforms
• 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)
Automation (Preferred, Not Required)
• 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
A Design Mindset
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
What It's Like Working Here
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
Why This Role Is Worth It
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
The Basics
• 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
Where Your Career Is Going
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.
Why TransPerfect
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. You even get your birthday off-because we're glad you exist.
TransPerfect provides equal employment opportunity to all individuals regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by state, federal, or local law.
Final Thought
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.
