• Automate regression, smoke, and integration test cases to maximize coverage and reduce manual effort.
• Build and maintain automated API tests (using RestAssured, Postman, or similar tools) to validate integrations and data flow.
• Execute comprehensive test plans and test cases based on EdPi's product requirements and specifications.
• Translate product requirements into automated test plans, test cases, and scripts.
• Perform automation testing as the primary focus, with limited manual/exploratory testing for new or high-risk features.
• Identify, document, and track bugs and inconsistencies with clear, concise reproduction steps using established bug tracking systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., development, business analysts, external vendors) to understand integration points and potential impact areas.
• Conduct regression testing to ensure releases and bug fixes do not impact existing functionality.
• Contribute to building and enhancing a robust QA process specifically tailored for an educational technology environment, including documentation, best practices, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Clearly and proactively communicate testing outcomes, quality risks, and progress to stakeholders (product, engineering, operations).
• Continuously improve QA workflows and suggest ways to optimize test coverage and efficiency, particularly in an EdTech context.
• Identify and document data mapping errors, transformation issues, and broken communication links between integrated modules.
• Utilize monitoring tools to observe data integrity and process execution status during integration tests.
• Document and maintain automation repositories, report execution results, and communicate quality risks to stakeholders.
• Continuously optimize automation frameworks and expand test coverage.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines for faster, reliable, and continuous quality feedback.

• 2–4 years of experience as a QA Automation Engineer  preferably within a SaaS or EdTech environment.
• Proficiency in automation tools and frameworks (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, TestNG, JUnit, Mocha).
• Strong API testing & automation experience (RestAssured, Postman, Karate).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
• Strong programming/scripting skills in Java, JavaScript, or Python.
• Experience with Git, test management, and bug tracking tools (Jira, TestRail).
• Experience using tools for test case management, bug tracking, API testing, and browser developer tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for creating clear, actionable bug reports and comprehensive documentation.
• Ability to think critically from an educator's, student's, or administrator's perspective and anticipate edge cases, usability issues, and learning pathway disruptions.

• Exposure to performance testing or security testing tools, especially relevant for user data and platform scalability.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated QA integrations in a continuous deployment environment.
• Passion for education or prior experience with educational software.

• Make an Impact: Work with a truly mission-driven team building technology that directly impacts learning outcomes and shapes the future of education.
• Culture of Quality: Enjoy a culture that values quality, ownership, continuous improvement, and thoughtful product development.
• Growth Opportunities: Competitive compensation, flexible working hours, and significant room to grow professionally within a rapidly evolving EdTech space.
