We’re looking for a detail-obsessed Software Tester who owns quality end to end — from writing thoughtful manual test cases to building and maintaining automated test suites. You’ll work closely with frontend (React/Vite/Tailwind), backend (Django REST), and WordPress teams to catch issues before our clients ever do, and to make our release process faster and more reliable over time.

What You’ll Do — Manual Testing

- Review requirements, designs (Figma), and acceptance criteria to identify gaps, edge cases, and ambiguities before development begins.
- Write transparent, reusable test cases and scenarios covering functional, regression, UI/UX, cross-browser, and responsive/mobile behaviour.
- Execute manual test cycles across web apps, LMS/ERP modules, and WordPress sites; verify against design systems and locked UI patterns.
- Perform exploratory, smoke, sanity, and regression testing for every release and hotfix.
- Validate data flows, role-based access, and multi-tenant behaviour in LMS/ERP builds.
- Log clear, reproducible defects with steps, expected vs. actual results, severity, environment, and supporting screenshots/recordings.
- Re-test fixes, confirm closure, and maintain a clean, prioritized bug backlog.

What You’ll Do — Automation Testing

- Design, build, and maintain automated UI test suites using tools such as Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium.
- Write and maintain API test collections (Postman/Newman, REST Assured) for Django REST endpoints — auth, CRUD, status codes, payload validation.
- Identify high-value, repetitive regression flows and convert them into stable, low-flake automated tests.
- Integrate automated tests into CI pipelines (GitLab CI / GitHub Actions) so checks run on every merge request.




- Maintain reusable test data, fixtures, and page-object structures; keep the framework clean and well documented.
- Run basic performance and load checks (e.g. JMeter / k6) on critical endpoints and report bottlenecks.
- Report on test coverage, pass/fail trends, and flakiness to help the team improve release quality.

What You’ll Need

- 1+ years of hands-on experience in software QA covering both manual and automation testing.
- Solid grasp of QA fundamentals: SDLC/STLC, test design techniques, defect lifecycle, and severity/priority.
- Proven experience writing and maintaining automated tests with Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium.
- Comfortable with API testing using Postman (bonus: scripting Newman in CI).
- Working knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript or Python for writing test scripts.
- Familiarity with Git, branching, and merge-request based workflows.
- Ability to test responsive web apps across browsers and devices, and to read Figma specs.
- Strong written communication — your bug reports should leave zero room for guessing.

Bonus Points

- Experience testing React applications and Django REST APIs.
- Exposure to multi-tenant or LMS/ERP systems.
- WordPress / Elementor testing experience.
- CI/CD experience (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and basic Docker familiarity.
- Performance/load testing (JMeter, k6) or accessibility testing (WCAG basics).
- ISTQB Foundation certification.
