• Collaboration with engineering

You will act as the final quality gate — catching issues before users ever see them. If you’re someone who:

• Finds edge cases others miss
• Writes clean, structured test cases
• Cares about product quality

This role fits you well. What You’ll Own Test Planning & Coverage

• Regression testing
• UI/UX validation
• Cross-browser & cross-device testing

• Log bugs in:

• Jira
• Azure DevOps

• Provide:

• Clear reproduction steps
• Screenshots/videos

• Retest fixes and validate impacted areas

Automation Testing

• Build and maintain test scripts using:

• Selenium
• Cypress
• Playwright

• Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines:

• GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI

• Monitor failures and debug issues

Performance & API Testing

• Conduct load/stress testing using:

• Apache JMeter
• Locust

• Test APIs using:

• Postman

• Support security testing and vulnerability checks

Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain:

• Test cases
• Test plans
• Test results

• Track quality metrics:

• Defect density
• Coverage
• Pass/fail rates

• Report insights and risks to stakeholders

Collaboration (Critical)

• Work closely with developers to:

• Reproduce bugs
• Identify root causes

• Participate in:

• Sprint planning
• Standups
• Retrospectives

• Advocate for quality across the SDLC

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You catch edge cases others miss
• You write clear, structured test cases
• You balance speed with thoroughness
• You communicate issues clearly to developers
• You take ownership of product quality

Required Experience & Skills

• Experience with:

• Jira or similar tools
• Test management tools (TestRail, Zephyr)

• Familiarity with:

• Selenium / Cypress / Playwright

• Strong understanding of:

• SDLC
• Agile workflows

Nice to Have (Top Candidates)

• Experience in:

• SaaS / enterprise products

• API testing experience (Postman, RestAssured)
• CI/CD integration exposure
• Security or compliance-heavy environments

What a Typical Day Looks Like

• Review requirements and write test cases
• Execute manual and automated tests
• Log and track bugs with clear documentation
• Collaborate with developers on fixes
• Validate builds and regression results
• Report quality metrics and risks

In short:
You ensure nothing broken reaches production . Key Metrics (KPIs)

• Defects caught before release
• Regression test coverage
• Bug resolution turnaround time
• Release quality (low critical defects in production)
• Stakeholder confidence in product quality

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct impact on product quality
• Exposure to both manual + automation testing
• Strong collaboration with engineering teams
• Growth into:

• Senior QA Engineer
• Automation Engineer
• QA Lead

Apply Now If you:

• Break things before users do
• Care about quality deeply
• Think through edge cases naturally

This role is a strong fit.
