What Does a QA Engineer Do?
A QA (quality assurance) engineer makes sure software works before it reaches users. They design test plans, run manual and automated tests, reproduce and document bugs, and increasingly build automated suites that catch regressions in CI.
Good QA is detail-obsessed and communicates issues clearly — a natural fit for written, remote workflows. Test automation skills raise both impact and pay.
