We are looking for a QA engineer who can own the quality of what we ship: themes and plugins that run on 100,000+ active installs across 40+ countries. You test the work before customers do, and your sign-off is part of every release.

You will work alongside the engineering team. You test against the changelog and the spec, file reproducible reports in Basecamp, and verify the fix before the release tag. Manual testing is the core of the role; automation is where it is heading.

Test themes and plugins end to end

Functional and regression testing across the Reign theme line, BuddyX, and the active plugin lineup. Work through WordPress and PHP version matrices, multisite, and common host configurations so issues surface here, not on a customer site.

Functional + regression coverage.

Write test plans and clear bug reports

Build a test plan from a changelog or feature spec, then file reproducible bug reports: exact steps, environment, version, expected versus actual, with screenshots or a short screen recording. Reports go to engineers and are tracked in Basecamp.

Test plans + reproducible reports.

Run release smoke tests

Run the pre-release smoke on every theme and plugin before it tags. Verify the critical journeys (install, activate, settings, core flows) and either sign off or block the release. Your sign-off is part of the release gate.

Smoke + sign-off on every release.

Verify fixes and catch regressions

Confirm each fix actually resolves the report, and that it did not break an adjacent feature. Cross-browser, responsive down to 390px, and accessibility spot-checks are part of the pass.

Fix verification + regression watch.

Hands-on WordPress testing experience

You have tested WordPress themes or plugins before. You know wp-admin, how to install and configure plugins, set up test content, and reproduce an issue reliably across different setups.

WordPress testing experience required.

Strong, reproducible bug reports

You write the steps so an engineer reproduces the issue in one read: environment, version, expected versus actual, evidence attached. No "it does not work" reports.

Reports an engineer can act on.

Eye for detail across browsers and devices

You catch the layout break at 390px, the broken hover state, the console error nobody noticed. You test on more than your own machine and you do not assume one browser is every browser.

Cross-browser, multi-device testing.

Methodical and self-directed

You turn a changelog or a feature spec into a test plan, work through it without hand-holding, and communicate findings in writing. Quality is something you drive, not something you wait to be assigned.

Self-directed, written communication.

Test automation

Playwright, PHPUnit, or comparable. We test the WordPress admin and front end with Playwright and run PHPUnit on plugins; automated coverage is growing and you could help grow it.

Playwright / PHPUnit automation.

BuddyPress, WooCommerce, or EDD familiarity

Our products live in these ecosystems. Knowing how groups, activity streams, carts, orders, or license keys behave shortens the ramp considerably.

Ecosystem familiarity.

Code-quality tooling awareness

WPCS, PHPStan, and reading a PHP stack trace. You do not need to write the fix, but understanding the codebase helps you test the right things and write sharper reports.
