Join ABC Fitness and become part of a culture that’s as ambitious as it is authentic. Let’s transform the future of fitness—together!
Our Values
Best Life
We believe great work begins with great people. That’s why our culture is built on respect, trust, and belonging. We create an inclusive environment where every team member can bring their authentic self to work—because diverse perspectives drive innovation and meaningful impact.
Growth Mindset
We are doers, thinkers, and dreamers. At ABC Fitness, your growth is our investment. Through continuous learning, mentorship, and professional development opportunities, we empower you to reach new heights—personally and professionally.
One Team
From day one, you’ll be part of a team that collaborates, celebrates, and cares. We move fast, support one another, and have fun along the way. Because when you thrive, we all thrive.
As our Lead QA Engineer (SDET / QA Automation), you'll build comprehensive, scalable technology and software designed to manage and grow fitness businesses of all sizes. We are looking for a visionary quality engineering technical leader to design and implement advanced test automation frameworks, embed artificial intelligence throughout the QA lifecycle, drive UI visual regression testing capabilities, champion DORA metrics adoption, and elevate overall release confidence — all while growing and mentoring the QA practice through standards, tooling, and cross-functional partnership.
You will lead through test strategy, automation architecture, AI-augmented quality practices, quality standards, mentoring, and cross-functional partnership — not through people management.
If that vision excites you, this is where it gets built. You will spend your days on the test automation and quality systems that protect fitness experiences for millions, in an environment where AI agents are part of how you think, build, test, and review. Every framework you build, every AI-assisted insight you surface, and every standard you set helps prove that AI-native engineering is not a side project here — it is how we build.

Tips for Your Remote QA Automation Engineer Job Search
Show async communication skills upfront
Remote qa automation engineer teams run on written communication. Document your test strategies, defect reports, and coverage decisions clearly in your portfolio or work samples so hiring managers can see you'll operate well without real-time check-ins.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote qa automation engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your stack and apply directly without sorting through mixed remote and on-site listings.
Build a public automation testing portfolio
Push working test suites to GitHub using frameworks like Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium with clear README files explaining your coverage decisions. Remote employers reviewing async applications rely heavily on code samples over verbal explanations.
Prepare for remote technical interviews with live pairing
Remote qa automation engineer interviews often include live coding sessions in shared environments like CoderPad or VS Code Live Share. Practice writing and debugging test scripts while narrating your thinking out loud, since remote teams want engineers who communicate clearly while working.
Remote QA Automation Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote qa automation engineer job?
Target companies that already run distributed engineering teams, since they've built the workflows for remote qa automation engineers to collaborate effectively. Remote employers screen hard for self-direction, clear written communication in tools like Jira and Confluence, and hands-on fluency with frameworks like Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright. A portfolio of automated test suites with documented coverage decisions gives you a concrete edge over candidates who only list skills.
Which companies hire remote qa automation engineers?
Remote qa automation engineer roles are posted by Peraton, Upgrade, and Altinity and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first software companies, distributed fintech teams, and cloud-native healthcare platforms are the most consistent sources of fully remote openings for this role.
Can you get a remote qa automation engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to debug and prioritize independently without a senior engineer nearby. Your best path is building a public GitHub repository with working automation test suites, contributing to open-source QA projects, or completing contract QA work for small software teams. Remote-first startups and product agencies are more open to candidates who can show real code over formal credentials.
Do you need a degree for remote qa automation engineer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers care more about your ability to write maintainable test code, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, and communicate findings asynchronously than about a specific degree. A strong portfolio of automation projects, familiarity with tools like Selenium, Cypress, or Appium, and demonstrated experience with frameworks like TestNG or pytest can carry more weight than a computer science credential.
Which industries hire the most remote qa automation engineers?
The sectors hiring the most remote qa automation engineers are Technology & Software and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These industries rely heavily on distributed engineering teams that need qa automation engineers embedded across time zones to maintain continuous testing pipelines.
