Job description

Tech Stack: Selenium, Cypress, Postman, Jenkins, JavaScript/Python

We don’t just want someone who can find bugs. We want someone who can hunt them-before they even exist.

As a QA Tester with a focus on automation, you’ll be instrumental in keeping our releases rock-solid. You’ll partner with devs and product managers to ensure every feature is testable, traceable, and bulletproof.

What you’ll do:

  • Design and implement automated tests for UI and backend
  • Maintain regression test suites and expand test coverage
  • Collaborate on test plans, acceptance criteria, and release readiness
  • Build tools that make testing faster, smarter, and more effective

Requirements

  • 4+ years in QA/testing roles, with strong automation experience
  • Familiar with Selenium, Cypress, or other test frameworks
  • Experience with REST API testing using tools like Postman
  • Detail-obsessed and comfortable in agile environments

Nice-to-haves:

  • Basic scripting or coding knowledge
  • Familiarity with performance or security testing
