Limelight is a modern FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) SaaS platform helping finance teams move beyond spreadsheets and static budgets. We enable CFOs and FP&A teams to model, forecast, and analyze financial performance in real time—with speed, confidence, and governance.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior QA Automation Engineer to help us scale a high-quality, reliable SaaS platform used for mission-critical financial decision-making.

As part of Limelight’s Product Development team, you’ll own and evolve our automated testing strategy—ensuring stability, performance, and trust across everything we ship, from core financial modeling to AI-driven features.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building robust automation frameworks, collaborating closely with developers and product managers, and raising the quality bar across the organization.

What You’ll Do
  • Design and build our test automation framework from scratch, using Playwright as the foundation.
  • Own end-to-end quality across UI, API, and backend/integration layers.
  • Combine automated testing with manual and exploratory testing — especially for complex financial calculations, data integrity, and edge cases where human judgment matters.
  • Write, maintain, and scale automated test suites; integrate them into CI/CD.
  • Tackle flaky tests, test data management, and environment stability head-on.
  • Partner directly with product development on requirements, edge cases, and release readiness.
  • Champion quality earlier in the development cycle — not just at the end.
  • Manage test cases, defects, and documentation in Jira and Confluence.
What You Bring
  • 5+ years of QA automation experience in SaaS or web-based applications

  • Strong hands-on experience with API testing (REST/JSON, auth, error handling) and running tests in CI (e.g., Postman + Newman)

  • Experience with browser automation (Playwright preferred; Cypress, Selenium, or similar)

  • Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript for test automation

  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (parallel runs, retries, artifacts, quality gates)

  • Working knowledge of Git and SQL (PostgreSQL) for test data setup and validation

  • Strong ability to debug end-to-end issues using browser DevTools and logs

  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams and collaborating cross-functionally

  • Ability to write clear, high-quality defect reports with evidence and impact

  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and analytical skills
     

    Nice to have:

  • Experience testing AI/ML-driven features

  • Experience with financial, analytics, or data-intensive platforms
    Education

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
     

    Why Join Limelight Software?
  • Build mission-critical SaaS for modern finance, with real customer impact and ownership from day one

  • Work alongside a team that values craft, accountability, and high standards

  • Enjoy a company you can grow with long-term
