Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled QA Automation Engineer with 4+ years of proven experience in software testing and test automation. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in leading the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) across multiple projects, functional testing of web and backend systems, and hands-on experience with API automation. This role requires someone who can build robust test strategies, design automation frameworks, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure product quality at scale.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage the complete STLC (planning, test case design, execution, defect management, and closure) across concurrent projects. Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts for web applications, APIs, and backend systems. Perform functional, regression, smoke, and system integration testing, ensuring full coverage and efficient execution. Conduct API testing using tools like Postman, RestAssured, or similar, validating request/response structures, data integrity, performance, and security. Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and stakeholders to identify gaps, track defects, and enhance test coverage. Integrate automated test suites with CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing and faster releases. Execute performance, load, and stress testing to validate system scalability and reliability. Document detailed test plans, strategies, and reports, ensuring clear communication of testing progress and quality metrics. Continuously improve test automation frameworks, strategies, and best practices.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Minimum 4 years of experience in QA automation and software testing. Strong experience managing and executing STLC in multi-project environments. Hands-on experience with functional testing (web, mobile, backend) and solid test case design skills. Proficiency in automation tools such as Selenium, TestNG, JUnit, or equivalent. Expertise in API testing using Postman, RestAssured, or similar frameworks. Experience working with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or similar. Strong knowledge of scripting/programming languages (Python, Java, or JavaScript). Good understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) with hands-on exposure. Solid problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills. Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

Nice To Have

Experience with cloud-based test environments or Docker/Kubernetes. Exposure to performance and load testing tools such as JMeter or Gatling. Familiarity with security testing practices.
