Responsibilities

Strategy & Governance

• Contribute to the testing strategy (shift-left, risk-based testing, BDD/TDD, contract testing) across squads and products.
• Support the adoption of common standards and templates (test strategy, plan, RTM, exit criteria) aligned to recognized practices (e.g., ISTQB foundations, ISO/IEC 29119 test documentation, OWASP Testing Guide).
• Participate in quality governance activities (readiness/exit gates, defect SLAs, change failure rate tracking) and support QA metrics reporting.
• Contribute to the evolution of test frameworks, environments, test data management, and observability practices.

Test Engineering &Automation

• Own end-to-end automation strategy implementation across UI, API, contract, component, and smoke/regression suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Ensure maintainable frameworks, coding standards, and code reviews; champion modular page/object models, data builders, and parallelization.
• Define and achieve comprehensive test coverage across functional, non-functional, and automation layers to ensure quality and risk mitigation.
• Plan and execute performance, scalability, resilience, and security testing; collaborate with engineering teams on tuning and hardening.
• Define SLO-aligned test goals (latency, throughput, error rate) and incorporate quality checks into CI/CD pipelines.

Stakeholder Management& Communication

• Partner with Product, Architecture, Cybersecurity, and Compliance teams to balance risk, speed, and regulatory requirements.
• Provide testing updates, quality metrics, and release readiness information to stakeholders.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including automation, functional, performance, and security testing teams across multiple applications.
• Support shared testing services including regression, performance & security testing, test data management, and environment orchestration.
• Work closely with Agile teams to improve story quality (acceptance criteria, testability, Definition of Ready/Done) and support sprint testing activities.

Continuous Improvement

• Participate in retrospectives and incident reviews (escaped defects, production issues) to improve quality practices and defect prevention.
• Stay current with testing tools, technologies, and industry best practices while contributing to knowledge sharing and continuous improvement initiatives.

Requirements

• 5–8 years of experience in QA/testing with strong hands-on experience in test automation and quality engineering.
• Strong proficiency in programming languages such as JavaScript/TypeScript or Python.
• Strong SQL skills with hands-on experience in MySQL and PostgreSQL for test data preparation, backend verification, and database-level testing.
• Hands-on expertise with Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright, and API testing (Postman/REST Assured), plus CI/CD integration.
• Strong grasp of Agile/Scrum, DevOps, and shift-left practices (BDD/TDD, contract testing).
• Solid knowledge of performance and security testing concepts and tools (JMeter/k6, OWASP ZAP).
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and continuous integration tools (e.g., Jenkins).
• Experience with cloud platforms (preferably AWS) and container orchestration (Kubernetes) for test environment management.
• Solid understanding of software testing principles, methodologies, and best practices.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
