About the Role
We are looking for a skilled, curious, and proactive
Automation Quality Engineer to join our QA team
. This role demands a strong passion for quality and a relentless drive to improve software delivery through a combination of automated and manual testing, with an automation-first approach to accelerate time-to-market and reduce manual effort.
As part of our cross-functional Agile team, you will collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and stakeholders throughout the software development lifecycle. You'll take ownership of testing and actively contribute ideas and improvements to ensure a seamless user experience and maintain product quality.
We value individuals who are self-motivated, continuously learning and evolving, and who bring a problem-solving mindset to the team and thrive on driving excellence in QA practices.
Our Ideal Candidate
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in both automated and manual testing, preferably in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Proficiency in JavaScript or Java for writing automated tests.
• Strong experience in designing and maintaining automation frameworks using Cypress, Playwright.
• Expertise in API testing and automation using tools like Karate, REST-assured, or Postman.
• In-depth understanding of QA methodologies, test planning, and execution best practices.
• Proven ability to write clear, maintainable, and reusable test cases and scenarios.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions.
• Experience with database validation and SQL for backend testing.
• Proficient in using test management tools such as Zephyr, and bug tracking tools like Jira.
• Experience with BDD frameworks like Cucumber is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify root causes and implement effective resolutions.
• Ability to design environment-agnostic tests for execution across local and production environments.
• Excellent communication skills in English—verbal and written.
• A continuous learner who is enthusiastic about exploring new tools, technologies, and testing practices.
• Brings fresh ideas to testing and automation and contributes to continuous improvement initiatives.
Nice to Have
• Experience or knowledge of AWS, Helm, or Kubernetes (Minikube preferred).
• Hands-on experience with Docker and local development setups that mimic production environments.
• Exposure to accessibility testing and performance testing tools.
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools, such as Datadog.
Key Responsibilities
• Design, develop, and maintain reliable and scalable automated test suites integrated with CI/CD pipelines.
• Implement shift-left testing strategies to detect issues early.
• Drive test automation best practices, including optimal test coverage and quick feedback loops.
• Collaborate with developers and product managers to deeply understand requirements and build meaningful test strategies.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, API, end-to-end, and database testing.
• Define and maintain test cases/scenarios that are environment-independent, enabling local and production-level testing.
• Contribute to root cause analysis and actively prevent bugs rather than just identifying them.
• Take ownership of QA processes, championing automation and reducing manual intervention. Continuously learn and evolve, suggesting new tools, technologies, or strategies to improve QA effectiveness
