Testing Engineer

Job Description 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.
