  • Mentor and support QA and software engineers in improving test coverage, automation, and quality ownership
  • Author and maintain functional and regression test cases and plans for complex user stories
  • Review and guide the work of other engineers, ensuring consistency and high standards across teams
  • Lead performance and load testing initiatives and analyze results to identify bottlenecks and reliability issues
  • Contribute to sprint planning, provide QA estimates, and ensure testing aligns with sprint goals
  • Communicate risks, progress, and test outcomes clearly to stakeholders and leadership

  • 10+ years of experience in software QA, including both manual and automated testing
  • Strong hands-on experience with Cypress for UI automation testing
  • Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript for writing automated tests
  • Deep understanding of testing methodologies (unit, functional, acceptance, regression, performance, load)
  • Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining test automation frameworks at scale
  • Familiarity with Gherkin syntax and behavior-driven development (BDD) practices
  • Experience with performance and load testing, including scripting and analysis
  • Comfortable working in agile environments and participating in all stages of the development lifecycle
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

    • Nice to Have :

  • Experience with CI / CD tools and integrating automated tests into deployment pipelines
  • Experience testing microservices or distributed systems
  • Background mentoring or leading QA engineers in a cross-functional setting
  • Exposure to testing APIs or backend systems alongside UI testing

    • What You’ll Get

  • A high-impact role in a company where quality is a shared priority
  • Opportunities to influence and elevate engineering practices across teams
  • Support for career development, including mentorship, learning resources, and conference access
  • A collaborative and inclusive team culture
