About the Company

Voyzant Inc is a fast-growing travel technology company headquartered in Markham, Ontario, with a global development center serving clients and partners worldwide. Our platform powers B2B travel solutions — including flight search, booking APIs, and real-time inventory integrations — built to handle enterprise-scale transaction volumes. We are an ambitious team building next-generation infrastructure and are looking for problem solvers who want to grow alongside us.

Job Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Software Developer with a passion for quality, reliability, and continuous improvement to join our team as Lead QA. This is not a traditional QA-only role — you will be writing code, building test automation frameworks, and working closely with developers, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure teams. You will own quality end-to-end across our platform while actively contributing to engineering efforts.
Prior formal QA experience is an asset but is not required. What matters most is your technical ability, problem-solving mindset, and genuine interest in building reliable, scalable systems. You will have the opportunity to grow into Cloud Computing, DevOps, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code practices as part of your day-to-day work.

Job Duties and Responsibilities

Lead quality assurance efforts across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements review to production deployment.
Design, build, and maintain automated test suites covering API, functional, integration, regression, and performance testing.
Collaborate directly with developers to identify defects early, review code for testability, and enforce quality standards.
Define and document QA processes, testing strategies, and acceptance criteria in partnership with the engineering team.
Perform hands-on exploratory and scripted testing of new features, API integrations (including third-party travel APIs such as Amadeus), and backend services.
