QA Automation Engineer

The QA Engineer will be a core contributor to our product quality, responsible for designing, developing, and executing comprehensive test strategies. This includes building and maintaining scalable automation frameworks, performing manual and exploratory testing, and driving continuous improvements in QA methodologies. The role requires close collaboration with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to identify defects early and mitigate quality risks throughout the software development lifecycle.

Core Responsibilities:

• Test Strategy & Execution: Design and implement comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test scripts covering functionality, performance, security, and scalability.
• Test Automation: Architect, develop, and maintain robust and scalable automation frameworks for UI, API, and backend services.
• Testing Activities: Execute a variety of testing types, including automated, manual, exploratory, functional, regression, and integration tests.
• Specialized Testing: Conduct API testing to ensure backend reliability, performance testing to validate system scalability, and security testing to ensure compliance with best practices.
• Defect Management: Systematically identify, document, and track software defects using bug-tracking tools, and collaborate with developers on resolutions.
• Process Improvement: Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to provide fast feedback loops and proactively drive improvements in QA processes, tools, and best practices.
• Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior QA engineers, fostering a culture of quality ownership and technical growth.

Key Requirements & Qualifications:

• A minimum of 3-5 recent years of professional experience in software quality assurance is required.
• Proven track record of delivering high-quality software in an Agile/Scrum environment.
• Demonstrated experience in developing test strategies and architecting test automation frameworks.

• CI/CD & Cloud: Strong understanding of CI/CD processes and tools (GitHub Actions, CircleCI). Experience with cloud-based testing environments (AWS, GCP) is required.
• Security Testing: Familiarity with security testing tools such as OWASP ZAP is a plus.
• Core Concepts: Expertise in software testing principles, methodologies, and industry best practices.
