Role: Dev-QA Engineer
Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The Dev-QA Engineer ensures the reliability and quality of core application components by designing and executing deep technical tests across Flutter, VueJS, and Go services. They will build robust automated test suites, validate API and system behaviors, and collaborate closely with developers to drive high engineering standards through strong test frameworks integrated into CI/CD pipelines. This role strengthens product stability by proactively identifying regressions, improving test coverage, and advancing automation practices across the IS Division.
Key Responsibilities
Design, implement, and maintain automated unit, widget, and component tests across Flutter, VueJS, and Go services.
Use Flutter's built-in test framework (unit, widget, integration tests) to validate mobile application components.
Build and scale test suites in Vitest for VueJS components, including mocking utilities, coverage reports, and snapshot testing.
Develop backend unit and integration tests using Go's built-in testing framework (go test), including table-driven tests, benchmarks, and mocks.
Create API-level and end-to-end workflows using Playwright for cross-platform UI and API validation.
Work closely with developers to identify test gaps, define component-level acceptance criteria, and ensure code paths are fully covered.
Establish and enforce best practices for testing (TDD/BDD), coding standards, mocking strategies, and quality gates integrated into CI/CD.
Analyze logs, application behavior, and system metrics to validate reliability and detect regressions early.
Contribute to test automation pipelines, collaborating with DevOps teams to optimize execution speed, flakiness detection, and parallelization.
Document test strategies, maintain test coverage dashboards, and conduct knowledge-sharing sessions with engineering teams.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
3-5+ years of experience in technical QA, software engineering, or test automation roles.
Strong hands-on experience writing tests for:
Flutter (unit, widget, integration tests using flutter_test / integration_test)
VueJS (Vitest, Vue Test Utils)
Go (go test, testify, mock generation)
Practical experience with Playwright for E2E and component testing.
Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated test suites into build-and-release workflows.
Familiarity with API design (REST/GraphQL), JSON structures, and backend service interactions.
Comfortable reading, debugging, and profiling application code across multiple languages.
Experience working in Agile environments with engineering teams.
Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to troubleshoot complex scenarios.
