Testing Engineer

We’re looking for a Testing Engineer to own end-to-end quality for assigned products and features. The ideal candidate will move beyond execution into defining test strategies, setting quality standards, improving automation coverage, and driving cross-team quality advocacy. Core Responsibilities Analyze functional and non-functional requirements and clarify ambiguities early. Define, maintain, and prioritize test plans (positive, negative, edge, regression). Design reusable test cases and suites; keep them versioned and traceable. Set up pipelines/tasks for scalability and benchmarking to review different environments/conditions. Execute tests: manual (exploratory, UX, edge) and automated (API, UI, integration). Log clear, reproducible defects (steps, environment, evidence, impact). Verify fixes, manage defect lifecycle, and prevent reopens via root cause analysis. Contribute to performance, load, reliability, and basic security test coverage. Maintain test data, environments, and baseline health checks. Track and report quality metrics (defect density, pass rate, automation %, MTTR). Collaborate with Dev/Product teams on release readiness (go/no-go signals). Improve and refactor existing tests to reduce flakiness and execution time. Participate in design reviews with a “testability” lens. Participate in comparative studies for different approaches/platforms. Key Outcomes (Success Indicators) Defects caught pre-release increase; post-production escapes trend down. Automation coverage % (critical paths) increases sprint over sprint. Flaky test rate reduced and tracked. Consistent, documented test standards adopted across teams. Release confidence improved (shorter stabilization window). Clear actionables from comparative studies and/or observed insights driving product stability and reliability. Required Skills Solid understanding of software testing principles (functional, regression, boundary, exploratory). Familiarity with low-code automation tools like Cucumber, BugBug, BrowserStack, etc. Hands-on experience with at least one automation framework (API or UI). Competent in scripting (Python or JavaScript) for test creation/utilities. Able to design clear, reproducible defect reports with impact context. Working knowledge of REST API testing (Postman/Newman, curl, or pytest requests). Familiar with Git, branching, PR workflows, and CI basics (GitHub Actions/GitLab/Jenkins). Nice to Have Experience with UI automation (Playwright / Selenium / Cypress). Exposure to performance/load tools (k6, Locust, JMeter). Basic container and service debugging (Docker logs, health probes). Familiarity with contract testing (e.g., Pact) or schema validation. Knowledge of observability signals (logs, metrics, basic tracing) for root cause assistance. Experience with test data management and environment isolation. How We Work We use Microsoft Teams for daily communication, including standups and team meetings. Our culture values open discussion, ownership, and a founder’s mindset. We prioritize exceptional design, UI/UX, thorough documentation, clear to-do lists, and data-driven decision-making. Team bonding is encouraged through bi-monthly townhalls, destressing sessions with a certified healer, and biannual company retreats. We offer a fully remote workplace, comprehensive health insurance, attractive equity options for top performers, mental health consultations, company-sponsored upskilling courses, designated growth hours, 40 hours annually for community causes, and access to a financial advisor. Wobot is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
