More than 6000 global organizations employ TransPerfects GlobalLink technology to simplify management of multilingual content.

What Were Building
Were a small team inside TransPerfect building a massive internal platform a low-code application builder thats powering how our entire company operates. Its ambitious its complex and its not done. Thats exactly why its fun.
Think:
Not just a bug-logging role
Youll shape quality standards and help build testing infrastructure from the ground up
Complex data-driven interfaces that need thorough thoughtful QA
Enterprise-scale impact without enterprise-level red tape
We operate more like a startup embedded inside a global company. We move fast figure things out as we go and need people who are excited to make sure what we build actually worksreliably at scale every time.
What Youll Actually Be Doing
You wont just find bugs. Youll help define what quality means for this platform.
Write execute and maintain manual and automated test cases for a drag-and-drop application builder
Identify document and track bugs with clear reproducible steps
Collaborate closely with frontend engineers to catch issues early in the dev cycle
Help build out regression test suites as features evolve
Contribute to QA processes and documentation that grow with the team
Participate in sprint planning and review to understand whats being shipped and what needs coverage
The Kind of QA Engineer This Role Needs
Were not looking for someone who just runs a checklist and closes tickets.
Were looking for someone who:
Asks what could go wrong here before a feature ships
Is comfortable when specs are incomplete or evolving
Can think from the users perspective not just the test plan
Takes ownership of quality
Communicates clearly with engineers not just in Jira
Wants a career in quality engineering not just a job
If youve worked somewhere perfectly structured with locked-down processes: this will feel different. If youve ever found a bug no one else caught and felt genuinely good about it: youll fit right in.
Core Technical Skills
We dont expect you to know everything on day one. You should have a solid foundation in:
QA Fundamentals
Understanding of the software developer lifecycle (SDLC) and QA methodologies
Experience writing test cases test plans and bug reports
Familiarity with functional regression integration and exploratory testing
Comfort working in Agile/Scrum environments
Tools & Platforms
Bug tracking tools: Jira Azure DevOps or similar
Basic understanding of browser developer tools for frontend debugging
Familiarity with API testing concepts (Postman or similar is a plus)
Automation (Preferred Not Required)
Exposure to test automation frameworks: Playwright Cypress Selenium or similar
Basic scripting ability in JavaScript TypeScript or Python
Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and how automated tests fit in
A Design Mindset
We need QA engineers who care about UX not just pass/fail.
You notice when something works technically but feels broken to a user
You think about edge cases that live in the gap between spec and reality
You can communicate UX observations clearly to engineers and PMs
What Its Like Working Here
Lets be real:
Were building something big with a small team
The structure isnt perfect
Priorities can shift
Were figuring some things out as we go
But also:
Youll have real ownership over qualitynot just a slice of a ticket queue
Your findings will actually change what ships
You wont be stuck running the same regression suite forever
Youll help define how QA evolves on this platform
Why This Role Is Worth It
If youre looking for:
A highly structured perfectly documented test environment this isnt it
A chance to build quality practices from the ground up this is it
Real ownership at the start of your QA career this is it
This is a role for someone who wants to:
Build not just execute
Influence what ships not just report what broke
Grow into a QA engineer who understands the whole product
The Basics
Bachelors degree or equivalent experience (Computer Science IT or related field preferred)
02 years of QA or software testing experience (internship or project work counts)
Strong attention to detail and analytical thinking
Clear written communication youll be writing a lot of bug reports
AI can be a useful tool but our engineers are expected to function without it
Where Your Career Is Going
At TransPerfect there are real growth opportunities. We encourage continuous dialogue with management about your path whether thats deepening your automation expertise moving into SDET work or growing into a QA lead role. All of that is on the table.
Why TransPerfect
For more than 25 years weve built a culture where ideas are shared and new ventures are welcomed. From Intern to President every employee should have a voice. We offer comprehensive benefits including medical dental and vision insurance 401k matching child-care provider membership and other TransPerks. You even get your birthday offbecause were glad you exist.
TransPerfect provides equal employment opportunity to all individuals regardless of race color creed religion gender age sexual orientation national origin disability veteran status or any other characteristic protected by state federal or local law.
Final Thought
Were not pretending this is a polished perfectly structured role.
We are saying: if youre the kind of QA engineer who asks hard questions thrives on making complex software better and wants to help shape something meaningful from early in your career
Youll probably love it here.
