· Quality Ownership: Create detailed test plans and test cases. Own the quality of features by executing manual and automated tests, and meticulously documenting, tracking, and verifying defects.

· Performance Engineering & Troubleshooting: Conduct performance and load testing. Analyze test results and utilize monitoring/observability tools (e.g., Sumo Logic, New Relic, Grafana) to perform root cause analysis, identify system bottlenecks, and assist in troubleshooting complex issues.

· CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing using tools like Jenkins, ensuring seamless integration and rapid feedback loops.

· Collaboration & Process Improvement: Actively participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, retrospectives, grooming meetings). Work closely with developers and product managers to clarify requirements and improve development processes.

· Test Environment Management: Set up and maintain test environments, including cloud-based infrastructures (AWS, Docker, Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes).

Minimum Qualifications

· 5+ years of experience in software quality assurance with a strong, demonstrated focus on test automation.

· Proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language such as Java, Python, or JavaScript.

· Hands-on experience with modern test automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, etc).

· Solid understanding of software QA methodologies, Agile/Scrum processes, and CI/CD principles.

· Excellent troubleshooting and analytical skills, with practical experience in analyzing performance test results and logs.

· A proven quick learner – highly adaptable and enthusiastic about exploring and mastering new technologies, tools, and testing trends.

· Fluent English communication skills (both verbal and written), capable of leading technical discussions and creating clear documentation in a global team setting.

· Self-driven, detail-oriented, and a strong team player who excels in a remote/distributed work environment.

Preferred Qualifications

· Hands-on experience with AI/ML-aided testing tools or a strong portfolio of projects implementing intelligent testing solutions.

· Practical experience with application performance monitoring (APM) or log analytics tools like Sumo Logic or New Relic.

· Experience in performance, security, or load testing.

· Expertise in API testing (RESTful services) and microservices architecture validation.

· Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).

· Strong Linux/Unix administration and shell scripting skills.

· Familiarity with SQL for database validation.

Education

· Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

Work Mode & Location
