**Role & Seniority: ** QA/Testing Engineer (6+ years experience) with hands-on automation + potential tech lead/quality-gate ownership

**Stack / Tools: **

  • UI testing: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium

  • API testing: REST/GraphQL testing (REST Assured, Postman, native HTTP clients)

  • Languages: C#/.NET, Java, TypeScript/JavaScript (plus native SQL)

  • Automation/CI/CD: Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins; Jira (Xray/Zephyr/TestRail)

  • Performance/load: k6, JMeter

  • DB: SQL (joins/aggregations for reporting validation)

  • AI assist: Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot (for test design/scripts/data)

  • Other: Git, defect RCA, defect triage, Selenium/Web/API test suites

  • Top 3 Responsibilities:

    1. Design risk-based test scenarios, boundary matrices, and edge-case suites; execute manual/exploratory/regression testing prior to automation

    2. Build and maintain scalable UI/API automation test suites; integrate automated quality gates into CI/CD

    3. Perform defect RCA and participate/drive defect triage; validate reporting modules/data pipelines (including SIT across squad interfaces)

  • Must-have Skills:

    • 6+ years QA with strong manual + automation balance

    • Hands-on UI automation (Playwright/Cypress/Selenium) and API testing proficiency

Full Description

Insighture is a leading technology consultancy that drives digital transformation for businesses worldwide. With a team of over 85 expert consultants, the company delivers tailored, high-impact strategies and solutions, enabling scalable product engineering. As an AWS partner, Insighture excels in co-integrated cloud services. We've collaborated with more than 50 clients globally, guiding them through cloud adoption, DevOps transformation, enterprise modernisation, and more. Our capabilities span Cloud-Native Development, Artificial Intelligence, and DevSecOps, empowering businesses to achieve impactful and innovative outcomes.

Key Responsibilities Design risk-based test scenarios, boundary matrices, and edge-case suites for complex product workflows. Execute hands-on functional, exploratory, and regression testing before features move to automation. Conduct defect root-cause analysis (RCA) and drive or actively contribute to defect triage sessions Build and maintain scalable UI (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium) and API automated test suites using C# / .NET, Java, or TypeScript/JavaScript. Automate critical manual regression suites and integrate them as automated quality gates in CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins). Run baseline performance and load tests using k6 or JMeter to catch throughput issues early. Use AI tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to speed up test design, script creation, and data generation. Identify opportunities to introduce intelligent testing practices that enhance overall team productivity and reduce repetitive QA overhead. Lead manual and automated verification of reporting modules, dashboards, and data pipelines. Write complex SQL queries (joins, aggregations) to validate backend data integrity against frontend reports and export formats (PDF, CSV, Excel). Plan and execute hands-on cross-squad SIT to validate shared interfaces, APIs, and critical dependencies across services. Review test plans and automation PRs, championing clean code and shift-left quality practices. Track and communicate baseline quality metrics (Defect Escape Rate, Automation Pass Rate, SIT Cycle Time).

Requirements 6+ years of total QA experience, demonstrating a strong balance between hands-on manual testing and test automation.

Hands-on UI & API Automation: Practical coding proficiency in C# / .NET or Java (alongside TypeScript/JavaScript) using frameworks like Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress, plus REST/GraphQL API testing (REST Assured, Postman, or native HTTP client libraries).

Strong SQL & Data Testing: Proven ability to query relational databases to validate complex calculation engines, data transformations, and reporting outputs.

Modern Tooling & CI/CD: Practical experience with Git, CI/CD pipeline integration (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins), and Jira-based test management (Xray, Zephyr, or TestRail).

Cross-Squad SIT Execution: Hands-on experience executing end-to-end SIT cycles across squad boundaries, validating shared APIs/data flows, and driving defect triage directly with engineers
