Entry-Level QA Tester

San Antonio, United States
About Zelifcam

Zelifcam is a full-service technology partner with over 20 years of experience crafting innovative solutions that drive real, measurable success for organizations. Based in San Antonio, Texas, we specialize in turning ideas into intuitive, high-performing software solutions tailored to meet unique business needs.

Our US-based development team works with businesses of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises, across diverse  industries including real estate, manufacturing, medical, legal, and IT.

We pride ourselves on seamless communication, ensuring clarity, collaboration, and transparency at every step.

Position Overview

We’re looking for a detail-oriented tester who thrives on finding flaws before users do. Most of your time will be spent running manual tests on web apps and APIs, logging clear reproducible issues, and verifying fixes. Over time, you’ll level up by adding Playwright end-to-end automation, contributing integration tests, and writing lightweight unit tests across multiple languages. The role lives inside GitLab workflows—merge requests, code reviews, CI pipelines—so you’ll be part of the same rhythm as the devs. Success here looks like crisp bug reports, growing automated coverage, and a reputation for spotting the edge cases no one else noticed.

About Our Work

At Zelifcam, you'll be part of a team that handles everything from new custom software development to legacy code support. Our comprehensive services include software development for desktop, web, and mobile platforms, quality assurance with both automated and manual testing, and project management using agile methodologies. You'll work on projects for clients in real estate, manufacturing, medical, legal, and IT sectors, ensuring that every solution is tailored to meet unique business needs and budgets.



Key Responsibilities
  • Run manual functional, regression, and smoke tests on web apps and APIs.
  • Maintain test cases, checklists, and lightweight plans that evolve with the code.
  • File defects that tell a story—clear steps, expected results, evidence—in GitLab.
  • Re-test and track fixes through closure.
  • Collaborate with devs + PMs to clarify acceptance criteria and data setups.
  • Grow into automation: Playwright E2E first, then integration/unit tests with mentorship.
  • Work inside GitLab workflows: merge requests, code reviews (tests included), and CI checks.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Playwright, Jest, Pytest, JUnit, or other test frameworks.
  • JavaScript/TypeScript chops for Playwright (and curiosity to learn other team languages).
  • API testing exposure (Postman, curl, or similar).
  • Awareness of accessibility and cross-browser quirks.


Required Qualifications
  • Laser focus on detail and a systematic approach to testing.
  • Crisp written communication + disciplined documentation.
  • Basic fluency in web tech: HTTP, APIs, browser mechanics.
  • Comfortable with Git/GitLab basics (branches, MRs).
  • Able to read code and write simple tests in at least one language.

What We Offer

You’ll work on meaningful projects that directly impact clients across industries, while enjoying the support of a collaborative, US-based dev team. 

We offer flexibility, growth, and a culture that values your expertise. 


Perks

Full-time position with competitive salary, 401(k) from day one, PTO, and health benefits after 60 days.

Continuous learning across stacks, frameworks, and industries — plus freedom to recommend new tech.


Tech Variety

Diverse projects from modern web apps to mobile solutions, using the best tools for each job.


Team & Culture

Collaborative environment with high autonomy, innovation, and clear communication.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is part meticulous tester, part curious tinkerer. You notice the small glitches others overlook, and you’re methodical enough to document them clearly. You’re comfortable navigating GitLab, reading code, and running down edge cases until they’re pinned. At the same time, you’re eager to grow your automation skills—whether that’s writing Playwright scripts, experimenting with API tests, or jumping into a new framework. You’re collaborative, communicative, and disciplined, but you also have that hacker’s instinct to poke at systems until they reveal their weak spots.
