Junior network engineer Jobs in Old toronto, ON

Opportunity

Our Development team is growing and we’re looking for a Junior Quality Engineer to join us as an active engineering partner whose primary objective is to eliminate manual testing through automation, AI coding agents, and robust test frameworks. In this role, you will leverage AI coding agents to translate requirements into clear test plans and reliable test automation, prepare code changes, review and validate diffs, integrate changes, and build and harden Playwright test suites. You will also investigate test failures and flaky tests while improving CI/CD pipelines and release-confidence workflows. Manual testing remains only a small, deliberate part of the role focused on exploratory testing and evaluating complex edge cases that automation cannot cover.

About Method

Method is on a mission to transform how small businesses operate by giving them real control over their customer workflows. Our flagship product, Method CRM is purpose-built for small businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and generic tools. With deep QuickBooks integration and a powerful no-code customization engine, Method enables users to design workflows that truly fit their unique needs. As a scaling growth company, we’re now taking that mission further, leveraging AI to develop intelligent agents that assist users in rapidly building and customizing no-code apps. This innovation is at the heart of our next chapter, and we’re looking for people who are excited to build the future of work!

The Role

As a Quality Engineer, you will be part of a driven and supportive team that’s always striving to deliver value to our customers by:

• Partnering actively across engineering to decide how test automation is designed, built, maintained, and continuously improved.

• Leveraging AI coding agents to turn software requirements into comprehensive test plans and working test automation.

• Preparing code changes, reviewing and validating diffs, and seamlessly integrating changes into the codebase.

• Running, expanding, and hardening Playwright automation suites while investigating failures and resolving flaky tests.

• Enhancing CI/CD automation pipelines and workflows to maximize release confidence.

• Performing deliberate, targeted manual testing (such as exploratory testing and edge-case validation) to cover critical risks that automation cannot.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated AI-first mindset and initiative, with concrete examples of using AI tools or coding agents to improve speed and quality in engineering workflows (distinguishing simple chat assistance from agentic workflows).

• Strong "trust-and-verify" judgment when validating AI-generated output, diffs, and test suites (demonstrated evidence through side projects or hands‑on practice is welcome, but not strictly required).
