Role Summary
This is an engineering position. You will ensure end‑to‑end quality for custom software projects by designing, coding, and maintaining automated tests (UI/API) while executing focused manual testing where it adds the most value. You will leverage AI (LLMs/Copilot) to accelerate test design, data generation, scripting, and log analysis.
Responsibilities
- Own the test strategy and pyramid (unit signals from dev teams, API and E2E focus in QA).
- Build and maintain automation frameworks in Playwright (TypeScript) or Cypress; structure page objects, fixtures, and utilities.
- Design E2E/UI/API/contract tests; manage test data, mocking/stubbing, and environment configs.
- Integrate suites with CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps), enable parallel runs, artifacts, and quality gates.
- Execute targeted manual testing (exploratory, UAT, regression) and produce reproducible evidence.
- Drive defect triage and root‑cause analysis with engineering; reduce flakiness via robust waits/retries and observability.
- Track quality metrics (defect leakage, MTTR, coverage on critical paths) and report trends.
- AI in QA: generate/refine BDD cases, selectors, synthetic data, draft scripts; summarize logs and propose failure hypotheses.
Nice to Have
- Contract testing (e.g., Pact), visual testing (Applitools), performance basics (k6/JMeter), mobile testing.
- Python basics, Docker for local/CI runners, TestRail/Allure/Xray reporting.
- Familiarity with Zoho (Projects/Desk/Analytics) or Jira/Confluence.
Tooling
Playwright, Cypress, Postman/Newman, GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps, Git, Docker (basic), Allure/TestRail (or similar), Miro/Confluence/Notion, Figma (review prototypes).
Requirements
- 3+ years as QA Engineer/Software Engineer in Test for custom software or SaaS.
- Strong TypeScript/JavaScript skills; hands‑on with Playwright or Cypress .
- Solid API testing (Postman/Newman/Insomnia), JSON/HTTP; basic SQL for validations.
- Experience with Git , branching strategies, and reading CI pipelines.
- Practice with BDD (Given/When/Then) and translating acceptance criteria into automated checks.
- Demonstrated use of AI tools (ChatGPT/Copilot or similar) to speed up QA with concrete examples.
Benefits
- Contract: Employee.
- Compensation: Competitive, based on experience ( include salary expectations ).
- Benefits: remote work, flexible hours, training in AI/automation, career growth.
