- 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.

- 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.
