Job Summary

The Intermediate Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer plays a key role in ensuring the delivery of high-quality, secure, and reliable software.

This position thrives in an environment that values automation, continuous improvement, and proactive quality practices.

The QA Engineer contributes to the team’s shift-left approach by integrating testing early in the SDLC and embedding security practices such as secure code testing and basic threat modeling.

Responsibilities include performing both manual and automated testing across UI, API, and data layers to support the development of high-performing, resilient systems.

Working in close collaboration with developers, DevOps engineers, and product managers, this role ensures that test coverage aligns with business requirements, quality standards, and compliance needs.

The QA Engineer also contributes to the evolution of test automation frameworks and supports their integration into CI/CD pipelines to enable secure and scalable application delivery.

Responsibilities

• Functional & Exploratory Testing: Execute manual and automated tests across frontend, backend, and integration layers; conduct exploratory testing to uncover risks and edge cases; validate stories against acceptance criteria and test plans; track, log, and retest defects.
  
  
• Test Automation & CI/CD Integration: Contribute to development and maintenance of automated test suites; participate in building and integrating tests into the CI/CD pipeline to reduce feedback loops and increase release confidence; collaborate with DevOps and developers to improve test reliability and coverage.
  
  
• Defect Management & Continuous Improvement: Own the defect lifecycle from logging to verification and root cause analysis; participate in quality retrospectives and contribute to process improvements; promote testability in feature design discussions.
  
  
• Collaboration & Agile Delivery: Participate in agile sprint activities including planning, stand-ups, demos, and retrospectives; support senior engineers and product owners with test strategies and risk-based testing; engage in peer reviews to improve test practices.
  
  
• Secure Testing & Compliance Awareness: Support secure code validation and identify common risks (e.g., insecure inputs, access controls); contribute to basic threat modeling and secure testing checklists; build familiarity with privacy and compliance requirements related to application testing.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  
  
• Certifications: ISTQB Foundation or equivalent testing certification.
  
  
• Experience: 3+ years in QA or software testing roles with hands-on test automation and defect management experience.
  
  
• Technical Skills: Experience with test automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar; working knowledge of API testing, regression testing, exploratory testing, and basic database validation; familiarity with CI/CD testing integration (preferably Azure DevOps pipelines); programming or scripting experience in JavaScript, TypeScript, or C#; understanding of shift-left QA, agile testing principles, and DevSecOps culture; exposure to secure code practices and security-focused testing (e.g., OWASP Top 10).
  
  
• Soft Skills: Strong communication, collaboration, openness to feedback, continuous learning, and active participation in agile ceremonies and test planning.
