Vantage is looking for QA Automation Engineer who wants to be part of a growing team and have a big impact.

You will also be responsible for creating and improving testing-related documentation, participating actively in functional, system, integration, and regression testing activities, and working closely with the automation group to automate features for better regression coverage.

We are a fully remote team but are primarily based in southern Ontario, and usually get together at least once a month for planning, team building and group work.

About Vantage

Come join an emerging tech company just as we hit our inflection point. Vantage plays in a $250BN addressable market in North America that is seeing significant disruption.

So, we’re picky about the people we invite to join the journey. We’re looking for true team-players, not lone wolves, or temporary hired guns. We are professionals with a passion for doing great work and driving real success for Vantage and our clients.
