Two Circles is looking for a creative, modern QA Engineer to join our dynamic KORE Intelligence Platform team. In this role, you'll be part of the Partnership Intelligence team, building modern SaaS platforms that help our clients intelligently manage relationships with their partners.

We're looking for someone who sees quality as an engineering discipline rather than a testing activity. This role is for engineers who leverage automation, AI, and deep system understanding to maximize engineering value across the software development lifecycle. We expect our engineers to think critically, influence quality early, collaborate closely with developers, and continuously improve how software is designed, built, tested, and delivered.

We strongly encourage the adoption of AI throughout the engineering workflow. However, AI is a tool to amplify engineering capability—not replace critical thinking. Strong system design awareness, architectural understanding, and sound engineering judgement remain fundamental to this role. We value engineers who use AI to support better engineering decisions, not replace engineering thinking.

This is a Hybrid role, requiring 2 days per week in our Downtown Vancouver office.

Key Responsibilities

Quality Strategy

• Design smart, risk-based testing strategies instead of maximizing test case count.
• Create valuable test plans and test cases that focus on business risk, customer impact, and engineering value.
• Apply a strong understanding of the Test Pyramid to ensure the right tests exist at the right layer.
• Continuously evaluate testing effectiveness and eliminate low-value testing activities.

Shift Left Engineering

• Practice Shift Left throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
• Review Product Requirements (PRDs), technical designs, infrastructure architecture, and UI/UX mockups to identify quality risks and design effective test plans before implementation begins.
• Collaborate with developers during solution design and implementation, not just after development is complete.
