• Perform manual and automated API testing, verifying contract integrity, data flows, and backend performance.

• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD deployment pipelines to enable fast feedback loops and true continuous testing.

• Translate product requirements and technical specs into comprehensive test plans, detailed test scenarios, and effective automation strategies.

• Write well-structured, clean, modular, and maintainable test code adhering to engineering best practices.

• Investigate, reproduce, troubleshoot, and document test failures, identifying whether issues stem from application bugs, environment instability, or test flakiness.

• Continuously monitor and optimize test runs to reduce execution time, eliminate flakiness, and maximize test reliability.

• Partner with Developers and Product Managers early in the development lifecycle to enforce quality standards and Shift-Left testing practices.

• Contribute to elevating QA practices, testing methodologies, automation standards, and team toolsets across R&D.

• 3+ years of hands-on experience as a QA Automation Engineer working with modern Web and/or Mobile platforms.

• Proven track record with modern test automation tools/frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium, or similar).

• Solid experience in API testing and automation using tools like Postman, REST Assured, Supertest, or native HTTP clients.

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) and integrating automation runs into pull-request/nightly workflows.

• Strong understanding of QA fundamentals: test design techniques, bug life cycle management, regression planning, and test reporting.

• Solid database and backend fundamentals: ability to write SQL queries, verify data persistence, and inspect backend logs for debugging.

• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; comfortable collaborating across distributed technical teams.

A Plus If You Have

• Experience testing cloud-native architectures (AWS, Docker, Microservices).
• Familiarity with performance or load testing tools (e.g., k6, JMeter, Locust).
• Experience with AI-assisted developer/QA tools or testing AI-driven features.
