Software Quality Assurance - Junior (Philippines, Remote, Evenings)

About the role

The Junior Quality Assurance Analyst (Remote) supports the quality assurance process across Orca’s C# web portals and Azure-hosted audit engine, working fully remotely on a fixed schedule aligned to Eastern Time (Canada) to maintain complete overlap with the Toronto-based team. This role focuses on manual and exploratory testing — executing test cases, verifying fixes, performing regression passes ahead of releases, and documenting defects — working against the test plans and test case library owned by the Quality Assurance Engineer. The Junior Quality Assurance Analyst is accountable for careful, consistent execution of assigned test work and for clear, reproducible, well-written defect reporting that lets developers resolve issues quickly without additional back-and-forth.

What you'll do

• Execute manual and exploratory test cases against Orca’s C# web applications and Azure-hosted services
• Perform assigned regression testing ahead of releases and verify bug fixes once delivered
• Record clear, reproducible defects in Jira with detailed steps, expected versus actual results, and supporting evidence
• Follow existing test plans and test cases, and flag gaps or unclear requirements to the Quality Assurance Engineer
• Keep test cases and test documentation current in Confluence as application behaviour changes
• Assist in reviewing requirements and user stories to understand expected behaviour
• Track assigned defects through to resolution and re-test once fixes are delivered
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date test records and status in Jira
• Maintain reliable availability and clear written communication in Teams during Eastern Time business hours
• Build familiarity with Orca’s applications, the .NET stack, and the team’s testing tools under mentorship
• Participate in Agile ceremonies including stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives
• Escalate quality risks and blockers to the Quality Assurance Engineer or Manager in a timely manner
• Other projects, duties and initiatives as assigned
