Testing Engineer

Core Responsibilities

• Analyze functional and non-functional requirements and clarify ambiguities early.
• Define, maintain, and prioritize test plans (positive, negative, edge, regression).
• Design reusable test cases and suites; keep them versioned and traceable.
• Set up pipelines/tasks for scalability and benchmarking to review different environments/conditions.
• Execute tests: manual (exploratory, UX, edge) and automated (API, UI, integration).
• Log clear, reproducible defects (steps, environment, evidence, impact).
• Verify fixes, manage defect lifecycle, and prevent reopens via root cause analysis.
• Contribute to performance, load, reliability, and basic security test coverage.
• Maintain test data, environments, and baseline health checks.
• Track and report quality metrics (defect density, pass rate, automation %, MTTR).
• Collaborate with Dev/Product teams on release readiness (go/no-go signals).
• Improve and refactor existing tests to reduce flakiness and execution time.
• Participate in design reviews with a âtestabilityâ lens.
• Participate in comparative studies for different approaches/platforms.
  

Key Outcomes (Success Indicators)

• Defects caught pre-release increase; post-production escapes trend down.
• Automation coverage % (critical paths) increases sprint over sprint.
• Flaky test rate reduced and tracked.
• Consistent, documented test standards adopted across teams.
• Release confidence improved (shorter stabilization window).
• Clear actionables from comparative studies and/or observed insights driving product stability and reliability.
  

Required Skills

• Solid understanding of software testing principles (functional, regression, boundary, exploratory).
• Familiarity with low-code automation tools like Cucumber, BugBug, BrowserStack, etc.
• Hands-on experience with at least one automation framework (API or UI).
• Competent in scripting (Python or JavaScript) for test creation/utilities.
• Able to design clear, reproducible defect reports with impact context.
• Working knowledge of REST API testing (Postman/Newman, curl, or pytest requests).
• Familiar with Git, branching, PR workflows, and CI basics (GitHub Actions/GitLab/Jenkins).
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with UI automation (Playwright / Selenium / Cypress).
• Exposure to performance/load tools (k6, Locust, JMeter).
• Basic container and service debugging (Docker logs, health probes).
• Familiarity with contract testing (e.g., Pact) or schema validation.
• Knowledge of observability signals (logs, metrics, basic tracing) for root cause assistance.
• Experience with test data management and environment isolation.
