QA Engineer

The QA Engineer manages and executes quality activities for assigned products. Responsibilities include planning and carrying out quality management policies and test strategies, improving and streamlining workflows, coordinating with other departments, and communicating with verification vendors. The role covers the full testing process from planning and test design through execution, including gathering and visualizing the information needed to complete the work independently.

The position requires at least five years of QA or testing experience for web or mobile applications. Candidates must understand the purpose of the complete test process, communicate smoothly with engineers, product managers and other departments, and have development experience in a programming language or the ability to read and write code to a reasonable level.

Experience in MaaS or web-service development and testing is welcomed. Additional relevant experience includes selecting, introducing and operating test-automation tools such as Playwright and Autify; researching and proposing new tools and technologies; using generative AI to reduce the effort required to create test cases or improve product quality; participating in early specification reviews and shift-left activities; identifying QA-flow issues; and improving quality strategies and processes. Agile or Scrum QA experience and certifications such as JSTQB are also welcomed.

The QA organization works across multiple in-house products, beginning quality improvement during the specification and requirements stages. The team works with product managers, project managers, UX designers, UX researchers, data analysts and development teams. The products support mobility in Japan and include systems in which software and hardware work together.

Annual salary is determined according to skills and experience and includes a fixed overtime allowance for 45 hours per month, except where the employee is hired as a manager or supervisor. Salary revisions occur twice yearly, with an annual performance-linked payment. Benefits include social insurance, transportation expenses up to 50,000 yen per month, a taxi expense subsidy, a monthly New Normal allowance, child allowance, welcome lunches, club activities and casual clothing.
