Build AI-Accelerated Test Automation
- Build and maintain scalable automation suites using Playwright across web, API, and mobile, contributing to broader QA frameworks and release validation standards.
- Use AI coding assistants and agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Playwright's planner/generator/healer agents) to generate test plans, test cases, page objects, and test data from requirements, Jira stories, and PR diffs.
- Review, validate, and harden every AI-generated test before it merges — you own the correctness of the suite regardless of what wrote the code.
- Drive down flaky tests and maintenance cost through resilient locator strategies, AI-assisted self-healing, and automated failure triage.
- Integrate automated quality gates into GitHub Actions CI/CD so every deploy is validated by the pipeline rather than by manual sign-off.
- Build and maintain functional, regression, API, and performance/load testing coverage using tools like Postman, JMeter, or k6.
Apply Testing Judgment Where It Matters
- Determine what should be automated, what can be delegated to AI, and what requires human testing — balancing coverage, risk, and release timelines.
- Perform focused exploratory testing on new features, UI/UX changes, and complex user flows to catch edge cases and usability issues that automation and AI miss.
- Turn every escaped defect into an automated regression check so the suite strengthens with each release.
- Partner with engineers to embed tests, API contract checks, and AI-assisted code review early in the SDLC to reduce downstream defect costs.
- Help define how to test AI-powered customer experiences (search, recommendations) where outputs are non-deterministic and need evaluation rubrics rather than exact assertions.
- Track and report quality metrics (automation coverage, defect escape rate, flake rate, test cycle time) to show where automation is paying off.
Contribute to a High-Performing Team
- Collaborate with QA peers and engineering teams, sharing knowledge, best practices, and the AI prompts and workflows that work.
- Provide input on quality practices and process improvements across the engineering org, focusing on reducing manual regression and UAT effort.
- Support and mentor QA engineers on automation and responsible AI-assisted testing, fostering a culture of quality ownership.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in Quality Assurance and Testing, including 3+ years building and maintaining test automation that runs in CI/CD.
- Proven, hands-on experience with Playwright for web and API E2E automation; Cypress or Selenium experience is a plus.
- Strong automation fundamentals: ability to design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable test suites and frameworks, and to diagnose and eliminate flaky tests.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript or Python (Java a plus); you write test code to the same standard as production code.
- Hands-on, day-to-day use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or Cursor) to write, refactor, and debug test code, with the discipline to validate and correct AI-generated output.
- Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred), including parallel execution, reporting, and quality gates.
- Solid experience with functional, regression, API, and performance/load testing (Postman, JMeter, k6, or equivalent).
- Strong exploratory testing skills and the judgment to build risk-based test strategies across automated, AI-assisted, and manual coverage.
- Demonstrated SDLC and Agile experience with defect lifecycle management using Jira and TestRail.
- Ability to operate effectively under a steady release cadence and manage competing priorities with minimal supervision.
Preferred Qualifications
- E-commerce QA automation experience, particularly in environments shipping frequently with CI/CD integration.
- Experience building or adopting agentic testing workflows (AI test generation, self-healing tests, MCP-connected tools, or LLM-based failure triage).
- Experience testing AI/ML-powered features such as search, recommendations, or LLM-generated content, including evaluation of non-deterministic output.
- Familiarity with BrowserStack or similar cloud device and browser grids.
- Experience with observability tooling like Grafana or GCP-based infrastructure, including using production signals to prioritize test coverage.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Software QA Engineer
Document your degree's U.S. equivalency early
PERM requires your foreign degree to be evaluated as equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization before you start applying, so employers aren't delayed by documentation gaps at the I-140 stage.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Search DOL PERM disclosure data to identify companies that have filed labor certifications for Software QA Engineer or related titles. Employers who have completed PERM before understand the process and are less likely to withdraw sponsorship due to timeline surprises.
Use Migrate Mate to filter sponsoring QA roles
Filter your job search on Migrate Mate to surface Software QA Engineer positions at employers with documented green card sponsorship history. This saves time you'd otherwise spend cold-applying to companies that have never navigated PERM for engineering roles.
Clarify the job description matches OFLC Wage Search findings
PERM requires employers to pay at least the prevailing wage for your role and location, determined using the OFLC Wage Search. Ask your hiring manager or HR contact whether the posted role's duties and title align with how they plan to classify the position for DOL purposes, before an offer is extended.
Negotiate starting PERM during your first year
PERM processing at DOL currently takes well over a year at the standard track, and that's before USCIS adjudicates the I-140 petition. Raise the sponsorship timeline in your offer negotiation so your employer files the labor certification as early as possible, rather than waiting until your H-1B visa or OPT is close to expiring.
Check your O*NET occupation code before the PERM job description is drafted
The Software QA Engineer role maps to a specific O*NET occupation code that influences how DOL evaluates whether the position is a specialty occupation requiring a specific degree. Confirm with your employer's immigration counsel that the job duties in the PERM application match the O*NET profile accurately, since inconsistencies are a common source of audit triggers.
Green Card Software QA Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Software QA Engineer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Software QA Engineer positions qualify under EB-3 as a skilled professional role requiring at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field. If the role requires a master's degree or you hold one and the employer can justify it as a minimum requirement, EB-2 may apply. The classification affects your priority date and wait time, which varies significantly by country of birth.
How does green card sponsorship through PERM differ from H-1B sponsorship for QA engineers?
H-1B is a temporary nonimmigrant status with a three-year initial period, subject to an annual cap and lottery for most employers. Green card sponsorship via PERM leads to permanent residency with no renewal cycle. The PERM process requires your employer to complete a formal DOL labor market test before filing the I-140 with USCIS, and the full process typically takes two to four years or longer depending on your country of birth and whether your priority date is current.
What does the PERM labor certification process actually require my employer to do?
Your employer must conduct a DOL-supervised recruitment campaign to document that no minimally qualified U.S. worker applied for the Software QA Engineer role. This includes posting the job through specific channels, maintaining records of all applicants, and certifying the results to DOL. If DOL approves the labor certification, your employer can then file the I-140 immigrant visa petition with USCIS on your behalf.
How do I find Software QA Engineer jobs where the employer has already sponsored green cards before?
Migrate Mate lets you search Software QA Engineer roles filtered by employers with documented green card sponsorship history, so you're not guessing which companies are willing to navigate PERM. Prioritizing employers who have completed EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorships before significantly reduces the risk of an employer agreeing to sponsor and then backing out when they realize the complexity or cost involved.
Can my employer start PERM while I'm still on H-1B or OPT?
Yes. PERM can be filed while you're on H-1B or OPT, and starting early is strongly advisable because DOL processing at the standard track currently exceeds a year before the I-140 is even filed. For H-1B holders, AC21 portability rules may allow you to change employers after the I-140 is approved and 180 days have passed, without losing your priority date, as long as the new role is in the same or similar occupational classification.
