- 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).

- 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).
