Quality Assurance Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in India.

📋 Description

• Engage with requirements and acceptance criteria prior to the commencement of development, pinpointing gaps, ambiguities, and edge cases early on.

• Participate in design and refinement discussions to highlight testability and quality risks while they are still cost-effective to address.

• Collaborate with stakeholders to establish test objectives, scope, and approach in alignment with project milestones.

• Develop and maintain automated test suites covering UI, API, contract, and integration layers utilizing TypeScript and Puppeteer (or similar tools).

• Contribute to enhancements of the framework and the expansion of automation coverage within the feature area.

• Consistently use AI tools for test design, test data generation, edge-case identification, and debugging, while critically assessing AI outputs before their incorporation.

• Keep abreast of emerging AI testing tools and promote their adoption when they enhance coverage or efficiency.

• Execute security testing tools and perform accessibility checks; interpret and report results, applying OWASP Top 10 and fundamental manual accessibility validation (keyboard, contrast, screen reader).

• Uphold quality gates in the CI/CD pipeline and ensure automated suites operate reliably with every build.

• Monitor production alerts and dashboards following deployment; take ownership of post-deployment validation to ensure releases meet quality standards.

• Document defects with comprehensive descriptions, reproduction steps, expected versus actual results, and severity classifications.

• Work with development teams to investigate, troubleshoot, and validate defect resolutions against acceptance criteria.

• Track, analyze, and report on feature-level quality metrics (defect escape rate, test coverage, automation pass rates); maintain well-organized test documentation for team and stakeholder access.

• Convert quality findings into customer-impact language, outlining what is broken for users, who experiences it first, and what changes occur when fixes are implemented—not merely defect counts, test pass rates, or coverage statistics.

• Actively engage in sprint planning, refinement, and stand-ups, identifying quality and testability risks early in each cycle.

• Collaborate with product managers, developers, and DevOps to ensure quality is integrated throughout the delivery lifecycle, rather than being added at the end.

• Assist in the onboarding of junior QA team members and share knowledge and best practices across the team.

⛳️ Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field with 3–8 years of experience in software quality engineering within a fast-paced development environment.

• Practical experience with TypeScript, Puppeteer, and third-party API integration.

• Proven ability to write automated test suites across UI, API, contract, and integration layers.

• Experience in CI/CD environments; familiarity with maintaining quality gates and interpreting pipeline output.

• Understanding of OWASP Top 10 and experience utilizing security testing tools.

• Familiarity with accessibility tools and manual a11y validation techniques.

• Strong grasp of SDLC, STLC, and agile/scrum methodologies.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; capability to convey quality risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Demonstrated use of AI tools to facilitate test design, data generation, or debugging.

🏝️ Benefits

• Flexible working hours and remote work opportunities.

• Professional development and training programs.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.

• Collaborative and inclusive work environment.
