QA Engineer – Creative Automation

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Argentina.

📋 Description

• Validate asynchronous, event-driven pipelines from Airtable through AWS and Photoshop APIs to Frame.io.

• Verify idempotency, de-duplication, race-condition management, queue throttling, and duplicate webhook handling.

• Test recovery from network disruptions, expired tokens, corrupted or oversized media, missing manifest keys, and API service limitations.

• Confirm circuit breaker thresholds, queue pausing, slot release, and manual or administrative recovery processes.

• Design cache lifecycle assessments for reusable asset-level caches and isolated template-level manifests.

• Ensure that template timestamp modifications and asset re-uploads invalidate caches to avoid stale file delivery.

• Reconcile assets, folders, and version stacks, including filename, folder, collision, and upload-deletion edge scenarios.

• Validate AI cropping and graphical transformations across both human and non-human subjects, as well as landscape and portrait formats.

• Assess bounding-box and focal-point detection, cropping selections, and mask boundary preservation.

• Inspect typography, font substitutions, leading, wrapping, bold ranges, safe-zone margins, call-to-action bounds, disclaimers, and ratings bug placement.

• Document reproducible step-level defects in Jira Cloud with complete asset and log context provided.

• Evaluate results against acceptance criteria for Epics, Stories, and Bugs.

⛳️ Requirements

• Mid-to-senior level QA engineering experience related to digital media workflow engineering, ad-tech production pipelines, creative automation, or cloud-native integration QA.

• Capability to validate status transitions of Airtable actions and automations.

• Comfort with AWS services including SQS, DynamoDB, Step Functions, Lambda, and S3.

• Ability to trace execution logs, correlation IDs, and failure payloads.

• Experience testing asynchronous and event-driven systems, including webhook de-duplication, idempotency, concurrency, throttling, resilience, circuit breakers, caching and invalidation, and synchronization edge cases.

• Understanding of bounding-box and focal-point detection, native cropping, Firefly Generative Expand, and mask boundaries.

• A keen eye for digital display production and design standards across various output formats and aspect ratios.

• Deep familiarity with Jira Cloud, including handling Epics, Stories, Bugs, acceptance criteria, and reproducible defect reporting.
