Software QA Engineer

Test Strategy & GxP Compliance

• Author and maintain the Master Validation Plan (MVP), Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) documents for each platform module
• Design test protocols aligned with 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GAMP 5 Category 4/5 software classification
• Validate electronic signature workflows, audit trail completeness, record locking, and change control traceability for all GxP records
• Define and execute Data Integrity (ALCOA+) test cases: Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate
• Participate in risk assessments (FMEA / risk-based testing) to prioritize test coverage across GxP-critical paths

Test Automation

• Build and maintain API automation suites using REST Assured, Karate, or Playwright API mode against Kotlin/Spring microservices
• Develop end-to-end UI automation for complex multi-step GxP workflows (MBR execution, Logbook entries, e-sig capture) using Playwright or Cypress
• Write Kafka consumer/producer test harnesses to validate event sourcing correctness and message ordering guarantees
• Implement TimescaleDB data validation scripts to verify time-series ingestion integrity and continuous aggregate accuracy
• Integrate all automation suites into GitHub Actions / Jenkins CI pipelines with quality gates on PR merge

Multi-Tenant & Isolation Testing

• Design and execute tenant isolation test scenarios: verify that no data, configuration, or AI model bleed occurs across tenant boundaries
• Test per-tenant KMS key segregation and encryption-at-rest correctness for GxP records
• Validate Temporal workflow namespace isolation - ensure cross-tenant workflow interference is impossible
• Execute negative testing for RBAC: verify that role violations surface correct 403 responses and are written to immutable audit logs

Performance & Reliability

• Define SLA targets for API response times, Kafka throughput, and TimescaleDB query latencies under realistic OT workloads
• Design and execute load tests using k6 or Gatling simulating concurrent GxP workflow execution across multiple tenants
• Build chaos engineering scenarios (pod failures, Kafka partition loss, DB failover) to validate platform resilience and data integrity preservation
• Test SCADA edge gateway reconnect and buffered data replay correctness after network outage

Defect Management & Reporting

• Own end-to-end defect lifecycle in clickup: triage, root-cause classification, severity/priority alignment with regulatory risk
• Produce weekly QA metrics dashboards: defect escape rate, automation coverage %, flaky test ratio, open critical/major counts
• Write clear, reproducible bug reports with environment details, API payloads, logs, and GxP impact assessment
• Collaborate with developers in post-release retrospectives and contribute to shift-left quality initiatives

• Minimum 3 years’ software QA experience in SaaS enterprise product companies
• Strong API testing: REST, Postman/Insomnia, contract testing (Pact of OpenAPI)
• Automation proficiency: Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium + JAVA/Python/JS
• CI/CD: Github Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI - building and maintaining pipelines
• SQL proficiency for database validation (PostgreSQL or TimescaleDB preferred)
• Experience testing event-driven / microservices architectures
• Ability to read and understand Kotlin or JAVA backend code for test design

Preferred Requirements

• GxP / pharma SaaS experience: 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, or GAMP 5
• Validation documentation: IQ/OQ/PQ, Validation Summary Report, Traceability Matrix
• Kafka or message queue testing experience
• Performance testing: k6, Gatling, JMeter, or equivalent
• SCADA, MES, or industrial software testing background
• Time-series database testing (TimescaleDB, InfluxDB)
• Security / RBAC / multi-tenant isolation testing
• ISTQB Foundation or Advanced certification
