About
Amoeba Software develops products and custom solutions involving engineering software, integrations, and data-driven workflows.
Responsibilities
•Design, document, and execute manual and automated test plans, cases, scripts, and acceptance criteria for web applications, APIs, data pipelines, integrations, plugins, and related software
•Review requirements, user stories, designs, and technical specifications to identify risks, ambiguities, edge cases, and testability concerns
•Perform functional, integration, regression, exploratory, usability, compatibility, and data validation testing across supported environments
•Validate the accuracy, completeness, consistency, and traceability of Amoeba data, including identifying issues caused by component knowledge, mappings, or integration behavior
•Create clear, reproducible defect reports with expected and actual results, evidence, severity, business impact, and recommended follow-up
•Collaborate with developers, product stakeholders, component specialists, and operations personnel to reproduce issues, verify fixes, and reduce escaped defects
•Develop and maintain regression suites, quality checklists, test data, release-readiness records, and QA documentation
•Test custom solutions interfacing with engineering platforms, including integrations, data exchanges, and Siemens Capital plugins
•Learn to use wiring and other engineering software to execute realistic workflows and verify Amoeba integrations and outputs
•Complete training on wire harness components, including terminals, cavity seals, cavity plugs, backshells, and clips, and apply that knowledge during testing
•Communicate quality risks, blockers, progress, and test results promptly and professionally to the Founder and relevant team members
•Maintain accurate records of testing activities, defects, decisions, progress, and outcomes
•Represent Amoeba Software professionally in internal meetings, customer-related testing, demonstrations, and technical discussions
Requirements
•Approximately 3 to 5 years of professional software QA experience, or equivalent experience demonstrating mid-level capability
•Experience creating and executing test plans, test cases, regression suites, exploratory tests, and release validation activities
•Strong understanding of QA methodologies, defect life cycles, risk-based testing, root-cause analysis, and software development life cycles
•Experience testing web applications, APIs, databases, integrations, and data-intensive workflows
•Working knowledge of API testing tools, browser developer tools, SQL or equivalent data-query methods, issue tracking systems, and test management practices
•Experience with test automation frameworks and scripting or programming sufficient to create, maintain, or extend automated tests
•Ability to analyze complex technical behavior, distinguish software defects from data or configuration issues, and communicate findings clearly
•Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical and business audiences
•Self-directed, organized, detail-oriented, and dependable in a remote contractor environment
•Willingness and demonstrated interest in learning wire harness components, electrical design workflows, and unfamiliar engineering software
•Ability to collaborate across software development, operations, engineering, and domain-specialist functions while reporting directly to the Founder
•Respond to work-related questions and messages as soon as reasonably possible and, while working, no later than 24 hours after receipt; approved time off and non-working periods are excepted
Nice to have
•Experience supporting engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, electrical systems, or enterprise customers
•Familiarity with wiring engineering software, wire harness design, or AI-driven engineering tools
•ISTQB or equivalent certifications
Conditions
•Contract-based independent contractor engagement; hours depend on workload, release activity, assigned projects, and agreed availability
•Hourly, milestone-based, or hybrid contractor compensation, as defined in the contractor agreement; compensation may be tied to delivered milestones, testing scope, project completion, or defined quality KPIs
•Flexible schedule focused on results, quality, deliverables, and project success, with sufficient overlap for required meetings and collaboration
•Must maintain reliable internet access and remain responsive during agreed working periods; work-related questions and messages must be acknowledged or answered as soon as reasonably possible and no later than 24 hours after receipt, excluding approved time off and non-working periods
•Additional or expanded project opportunities may be available based on performance, capability, and business needs
•Potential for future full-time employment for high performers, with no guarantee, promise, or expectation of employment
•Open to qualified candidates anywhere in the world, subject to contractor eligibility and communication and professionalism standards
