Who We Are 

KEV Group is an enterprise SaaS company that provides an all-in-one activity fund management solution for K-12 schools. By seamlessly integrating and automating all fee management processes, our SchoolCash platform provides real-time visibility and control over how districts and schools create, collect, manage, track, and reconcile these funds. Parents benefit from an easy-to-use solution that offers convenience and supports all payment types.

About the Role 

We're hiring a QA Analyst to own quality across our SchoolCash platform. This is a hybrid role — manual testing and automation, both. You'll design test coverage, run functional, regression, integration, and system testing, and build out our automated suite in Playwright and Selenium. Reporting to the Director, Quality Assurance, you'll work side-by-side with developers, product owners, and other QA engineers inside an Agile pod. Every release that ships passes through your hands

. 

What You'll Do 

Manual & Functional Testing 

  • Review and analyze product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for SaaS based platform 
  • Design, execute, and maintain functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory test cases 
  • Log, track, and retest defects using defect tracking tools 
  • Work closely with Product, Engineering, Designers and DevOps teams in an Agile environment 

Automation Testing 

  • Develop, enhance, and maintain test automation frameworks 
  • Automate UI, API and end-to-end test scenarios using Playwright and Selenium 
  • Perform cross-browser and cross-environment testing 
  • Ensure automation coverage for critical SaaS workflows 
  • Analyze automation results and maintain stable, reliable test suites 

API Testing 

  • Perform REST API testing to validate integrations and backend services 
  • Automate API test cases, including positive, negative, and edge scenarios using Playwright and Postman 
  • Validate API responses, data contracts, and error handling 

CI/CD & DevOps Collaboration 

  • Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) 
  • Support continuous testing strategies for faster SaaS releases 
  • Analyze pipeline test failures and provide root cause analysis 

Database & Data Validation 

  • Write and execute SQL queries to validate backend and transactional data 
  • Support test data creation and environment validation 

Nice to Have 

  • Exposure to performance testing tools such as JMeter 
  • Experience or familiarity with AI-powered testing tools (e.g., self-healing tests, AI-based test generation or analytics) 
  • Hands-on experience with cross-browser and cross-device testing tools such as BrowserStack 

What You Bring 

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field 
  • 4+ years of software QA experience covering functional, regression, integration, and system testing across multiple platforms 
  • Hands-on experience with both Playwright and Selenium — building, maintaining, and stabilizing automated test suites 
  • Strong SQL — joins, aggregations, data validation against back-end systems 
  • Fluency with Jira (defect tracking, Agile boards) and Confluence (documentation) 
  • Solid grasp of Agile methodologies and how QA operates inside a sprint cadence 
  • Working knowledge of cloud platforms — Microsoft Azure preferred 
  • Sharp analytical and problem-solving instincts 
  • Self-driven — comfortable owning outcomes, not just tasks 
  • Strong attention to detail and a proactive lens on quality 
  • Clear communicator who works well across developers, PMs, and product

  • Flexible PTO – Take the time you need to recharge with close to 4 weeks of vacation and a company-wide holiday closure 
  •  Office perks – Enjoy a fully stocked snack bar and occasional catered lunches—because we know that great conversations (and ideas) often start around good food.
