QA Tester

Role Summary

We’re looking for a QA Tester who can own quality across our product through a mix of hands-on manual testing and automation test scripting . You’ll work closely with developers, Product Owners, and Project Managers to define acceptance criteria, catch issues early, prevent regressions, and help us ship confidently.

Key Responsibilities

Manual Testing & Quality Ownership

• Test new features end-to-end across web and mobile flows (where relevant).
• Create and maintain test cases, checklists, and exploratory testing charters .
• Validate requirements and acceptance criteria with Product/PM before and during development.
• Reproduce, document, and triage bugs with clear steps, expected vs actual results, and supporting evidence.
• Participate in sprint ceremonies and contribute to release readiness decisions.

Test Automation

• Write and maintain automated test scripts for critical user journeys and regression coverage.
• Collaborate with developers to integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines and improve test reliability.
• Maintain test data strategies and ensure automation is stable, readable, and maintainable.
• Identify gaps in coverage and continuously expand the automation suite based on risk.

Process & Continuous Improvement

• Track recurring issues and work with the team on root-cause analysis and prevention.
• Support UAT coordination and feedback loops with stakeholders when needed.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience writing automation test scripts for web applications (and mobile is a plus).
• Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile workflows, and quality best practices.
• Ability to write clear bug reports and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail and a proactive “ break it before users do” mindset.

• Test Automation (One or more)

• Playwright or Cypress (web E2E)
• Selenium (acceptable, especially for legacy)
• Appium (mobile automation — nice-to-have)
• Postman /Newman for API testing automation

QA & Testing Practices

• Test planning, regression testing, exploratory testing
• Risk-based testing and prioritisation
• Writing test cases and maintaining test documentation
• Cross-browser/device testing (Chrome, Safari, Firefox; responsive testing)

API & Backend Validation

• Basic SQL for validating data (PostgreSQL/SQL Server)

CI/CD & Tooling

• Running tests in pipelines (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps)
• Bug tracking tools (Jira/Trello/Linear/etc.)
• Version control basics (Git)
