: QA Engineer (Manual Testing & Automation)

Experience: 4+ Years

Location: Hyderabad (Hybrid)

Employment Type: Full time

About the Role

We are looking for hands-on QA Engineers with a strong background in both manual and automation testing to join our team. The ideal candidate has worked on real-world projects delivered to real customers — not just internal or academic exercises — and can independently own quality across the SDLC.

Key Responsibilities

- Design, write, and execute detailed test cases, test plans, and test scenarios based on functional and non-functional requirements
- Perform manual testing including functional, regression, exploratory, integration, and UAT support
- Build, maintain, and scale automated test suites using Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript preferred)
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab CI or similar)
- Identify, log, track, and verify bugs using tools like JIRA, Azure DevOps, or similar
- Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and clarify acceptance criteria
- Perform API testing (Postman/REST Assured or equivalent)
- Conduct cross-browser and cross-device testing
- Participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives in an Agile/Scrum environment
- Analyze test results, prepare test summary reports, and communicate quality risks clearly to stakeholders
- Continuously improve test coverage, test strategy, and automation framework architecture

Required Skills & Experience





- 4+ years of hands-on experience in software QA, with a mix of manual and automation testing
- Strong, demonstrable experience with Playwright for automation (must have shipped automation for live, customer-facing products — not just POCs)
- Solid understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript (or willingness/ability to work in it for test scripting)
- Experience with API testing tools (Postman, REST Assured, or similar)
- Working knowledge of SQL for backend/data validation
- Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD pipelines
- Strong understanding of QA methodologies, SDLC, and STLC
- Experience with bug tracking and test management tools (JIRA, TestRail, Zephyr, etc.)
- Proven experience working on production applications used by real, paying customers
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work directly with clients/stakeholders when needed

Good to Have

- Experience with other automation frameworks (Selenium, Cypress)
- Performance testing exposure (JMeter, k6)
- Experience with Docker/containerized test environments
- Exposure to mobile testing (Appium)
- ISTQB certification

What We're Looking For

- Hands-on doers , not just process documenters — someone who has actually built and maintained automation suites in production settings
- Candidates who can speak in detail about real projects: what they tested, what broke, how they automated it, and the impact it had for the customer
- Ownership mindset — comfortable taking a feature from requirements to release-ready quality with minimal hand-holding
