Senior Test Analyst / QA Consultant (Manual + Automation)
Location: [Insert Location / Remote / Hybrid] Employment Type: [Full-Time / Contract / Consultant] Experience Level: Senior (5–8+ years)
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Test Analyst / QA Consultant who is equally comfortable designing thorough manual test strategies and building robust automated test suites. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes ownership of quality end-to-end — from requirement analysis through to production release — within a fast-moving, Agile engineering environment built on the MERN stack and deployed on AWS.
You'll work closely with developers, product managers, and DevOps engineers, so robust communication skills and the ability to clearly articulate risk, coverage, and quality trade-offs are just as important as your technical testing skills.
Key Responsibilities
Design, write, and execute detailed manual test cases for functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing.
Build and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks, with a strong preference for Playwright.




Develop and execute API testing and end-to-end test coverage across MERN stack applications (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js).
Collaborate with developers and DevOps to integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
Perform testing within cloud environments (AWS), including validating deployments, configurations, and integrations.
Actively participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, backlog grooming) and contribute to sprint-level quality goals.
Identify, log, and track defects clearly, working directly with engineering teams to drive issues to resolution.
Analyze requirements and user stories to identify test scenarios, edge cases, and potential risk areas early in the development cycle.
Own the end-to-end test strategy, planning, and reporting process, communicating quality status clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Continuously improve
