Full Description

Job Title: Quality Assurance Engineer

Role Summary

The QA Engineer is responsible for leading and executing quality assurance activities for an in-house, cloud-native enterprise system undergoing modernization. The role establishes QA standards, improves test coverage, and ensures releases meet quality, stability, security, and audit expectations.

The role is hands-on and leadership-oriented, covering manual testing, automation, CI/CD-based test execution, and release readiness, while providing limited QA oversight for the legacy platform during transition.

Key Responsibilities

Define and own the overall QA strategy and test approach for the new platform. Design, execute, and review functional, integration, regression, and UAT test cases. Validate end-to-end workflows across web, mobile, backend services, and data layers. Lead defect triage, prioritization, and validation in coordination with development teams. Drive and implement test automation for critical and repeatable workflows using industry-standard frameworks. Execute and orchestrate automated tests using Google Cloud–based CI/CD and testing services. Validate APIs, integrations, data accuracy, and system behavior across environments. Ensure releases meet defined quality gates and exit criteria prior to deployment. Participate in sprint planning, reviews, and release readiness assessments. Provide guidance and mentoring to QA team members or junior testers. Oversee limited QA activities for the legacy platform, focusing on stability and risk reduction.

Quality, Governance & Risk Responsibilities

Ensure QA processes support auditability, traceability, and compliance requirements. Validate access controls, approval workflows, and critical business rules. Test data-driven and AI-assisted features for correctness, explainability, and user control. Leverage logging, monitoring, and error reporting to support post-release validation and regression detection. Maintain clear QA documentation to support audits, internal reviews, and post-implementation assessments. Identify systemic quality risks and recommend process, tooling, or automation improvements.

Required Skills & Experience

5–10+ years of experience in Quality Assurance for enterprise or system-based applications. Strong hands-on experience testing web, mobile, and backend systems. Proven experience leading test planning, execution, and release validation. Solid experience testing APIs, integrations, and data-driven workflows. Strong understanding of QA methodologies, defect management, and quality metrics. Ability to collaborate effectively with developers, architects, and business stakeholders. Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills.

Testing & Tooling Experience

Experience with manual and automated testing approaches. Hands-on experience with automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Jest, Appium, or similar). Experience executing automated tests through CI/CD pipelines.

Familiarity with Google Cloud testing and automation enablers, such as

• Cloud Build (test execution)
• Firebase Test Lab (mobile test automation)
• Cloud Logging and Monitoring (post-release validation)
• Working knowledge of databases and data validation.
• Experience working in Agile or sprint-based environments.

Nice to Have

Experience testing cloud-native or distributed systems. Exposure to QA for AI-assisted or analytics-driven features. Experience in regulated, mission-critical, or large-scale enterprise environments. Experience helping define or improve QA standards and automation strategy. Must be willing to work onsite at our Ortigas Center office and be comfortable working UK time hours.
