The Role

The QA Analyst plays a key role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of POS and e-commerce applications. Working within a cross-functional Agile team of developers, product managers, and QA specialists, this role is responsible for executing both manual and automated testing, contributing to test strategy, defect management and continuous improvement of QA processes.

• Assist with test automation initiatives, identifying opportunities to improve test efficiency and coverage.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure consistent quality standards across retail applications and digital platforms.
• Contribute to knowledge sharing and QA best practices within the team.
• Maintain and support the office retail lab environment, including POS systems, peripherals, and testing hardware used for QA validation.
• Assist with lab setup, hardware configuration, and troubleshooting of retail equipment to support testing activities.
• Ensure lab systems are properly maintained and available for internal teams and remote testing support when needed.
• Provide hands-on support for remote teams requiring physical access to lab systems or hardware.
• Willing and able to travel to customer sites, both domestically and internationally, to support project implementations, testing, and customer engagements.
