Key skills for this role
We're looking for a hands-on Sr. Test Automation Engineer to join our team supporting a growing SaaS platform. This is a hybrid role spanning Functional and Automation testing. You'll own quality across the full testing lifecycle — from analyzing requirements and designing test cases, to building and maintaining automation with Playwright, to validating APIs and backend data.
This is a role for someone who thrives on ownership: you won't just execute test plans, you'll help shift quality left — catching issues early, before they ever reach development. You'll work in a fast-paced Agile environment, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and DevOps to embed quality into every stage of the sprint.
KEV builds mission-critical financial software for K12 schools across North America. Our platform provides real-time visibility and control over how funds are collected and managed, replacing fragmented workflows with secure, modern systems that schools rely on every day.
Trusted by more than 27,000 K12 schools managing over $8B annually, KEV delivers mission-critical software for payments, accounting, and reporting, where reliability and security matter. Headquartered in Toronto with teams across North America, we are scaling quickly and investing deeply in cloud-native, data-driven technology.
KEV is a place for people who care about building durable software at scale and doing work that has real impact in public education. We focus on solving hard problems, raising the bar on engineering craft, and building products that earn long-term trust from the communities we serve.
This role is for an active vacancy.
