• Build, maintain, and enhance test automation frameworks and test suites (UI/API).
  
  
• Perform detailed regression, functional, integration, and exploratory testing to ensure software quality across releases.
  
  
• Identify, document, and track software defects, and work closely with developers for resolution.
  
  
• Support the release process by validating builds, conducting smoke tests, and participating in go/no-go decisions.
  
  
• Create and maintain comprehensive QA documentation including test plans, test cases, and reports.
  
  
• Review and provide feedback on test coverage, automation approach, and code quality for peers.
  
  
• Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying inefficiencies in the QA process and suggesting tools or practices to enhance team productivity.
  
  

Requirements:

• 3–6 years of experience in software quality assurance with hands-on experience in both manual and automation testing.
  
  
• Proficiency in automation tools such as Selenium, Cypress, TestNG, or similar frameworks.
  
  
• Solid understanding of QA methodologies and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
  
  
• Experience with testing APIs (e.g., using Postman, REST-assured) and understanding of backend/front-end testing.
  
  
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and CI/CD pipelines.
  
  
• Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and a proactive approach to identifying issues.
  
  
• Comfortable with version control systems such as Git.
  
  
• Good communication and collaboration skills; able to work cross-functionally and drive quality conversations.
  
  
• Experience with performance and/or security testing tools is a plus.
  
  

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is preferred.

About You:

• You’re passionate about delivering high-quality software and finding bugs before users do.
  
  
• You enjoy a mix of hands-on testing and contributing to scalable automation.
  
  
• You're a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, agile environment.
  
  
• This role requires working from the office on a hybrid model, with in-office days on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

You take ownership of your work and constantly seek opportunities to improve both product quality and testing processes.
