• Identify, document, track, and verify defects while partnering closely with developers to drive timely resolution.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines, investigate test failures, and provide actionable feedback to engineering teams.
• Collaborate with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to define quality standards, assess risks, and improve release readiness.
• Create and maintain test data, test environments, documentation, and other supporting materials required for validation activities.
• Review application logs, monitor test results, and assist with troubleshooting issues across development and testing environments.
• Communicate testing progress, quality risks, and release recommendations clearly to relevant stakeholders.
• Contribute to a T-shaped engineering culture by developing strong QA expertise while gaining an understanding of software architecture, design decisions, and the broader development lifecycle.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Computer Technology, or a related discipline.
• At least 3 years of professional experience in test automation for web and API-based applications.
• Strong programming proficiency in Java or JavaScript, with the ability to develop maintainable automated test solutions.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright, Selenium, or similar web automation frameworks.

• Willingness to work under a fixed-term contract arrangement and legally eligible to work in India without sponsorship.

Benefits:

• Fully remote opportunity within India.
• Fixed-term contract role within a technology-focused engineering environment.
• Opportunity to work with modern test automation, API testing, CI/CD, and AI-assisted development technologies.
• Exposure to large-scale web and backend applications where quality, reliability, scalability, and security are critical.
• Opportunities for technical growth through new tools, methodologies, training, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Experience working within a T-shaped engineering model that encourages broader software development knowledge beyond QA.
• Collaborative environment focused on innovation, problem-solving, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Opportunity to contribute to technology used for online identity verification and fraud prevention.
• Inclusive workplace that values diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences.
