Role SummaryWe are seeking a Senior QA Engineer with 5 to 7 years of experience to lead the quality assurance efforts across our web applications. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end testing lifecycle. You will design comprehensive test strategies, perform manual testing for complex user workflows, and architect and maintain automated test suites for UI and API layers.
Since you will be testing applications built with Angular, .NET, and Python, an understanding of modern web architecture and RESTful APIs is essential. You will act as a quality advocate within our Agile teams, ensuring that bugs are caught early and our CI/CD pipelines run smoothly.
Key Responsibilities- Test Strategy & Planning: Analyze product requirements, user stories, and technical design documents to create comprehensive test plans, test cases, and traceability matrices.
- Automation Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable automated testing frameworks for UI (Web) and backend APIs from scratch.
- Manual Testing: Execute manual testing (exploratory, functional, regression, sanity, and integration testing) for complex edge cases and scenarios that are difficult or inefficient to automate.
- API Testing: Thoroughly test RESTful APIs and microservices (built in .NET/Python) using tools like Postman, Swagger, or code-based API frameworks.
- Defect Management: Identify, isolate, document, and track bugs using issue-tracking systems (e.g., Jira). Work closely with developers to reproduce and resolve defects.
- CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) to enable continuous testing and faster release cycles.
- Database Testing: Write SQL queries to validate data integrity, verify backend processing, and ensure database updates match frontend inputs.
- Mentorship: Guide and mentor junior QA team members, establish QA best practices, and drive a culture of quality across the engineering team.
- Experience: 5 to 7 years of proven experience in Software Quality Assurance, with a strong balance of both manual and automated testing.
- Automation Frameworks: Strong expertise in modern UI automation tools (e.g., Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium) and test runners.
- Programming Languages: Proficiency in writing test scripts using JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, or Python (aligning with our Angular/.NET/Python tech stack).
- API Testing Tools: Hands-on experience with API testing tools like Postman, SoapUI, or REST Assured.
- Manual Testing Expertise: Deep understanding of software testing methodologies, test design techniques, and the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC).
- Databases: Solid understanding of relational databases and the ability to write intermediate to advanced SQL queries for backend validation.
- Agile/Scrum: Extensive experience working in Agile environments and actively participating in sprint planning, grooming, and retrospectives.
- Experience with Performance and Load testing tools (e.g., JMeter, k6).
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS) and containerization (Docker).
- Experience testing accessibility (WCAG) and cross-browser compatibility.
- Familiarity with behavior-driven development (BDD) frameworks like Cucumber or SpecFlow.
- Understanding of mobile application testing (Appium) is a plus.
