We are building a custom, full-suite enterprise ERP platform (CRM, HRMS, and core operational tools) from the ground up, and we need a QA Engineer to own quality end-to-end. You will act as the final quality gate between development and production.This role begins as a part-time contract engagement (2-3 days/week during the initial build phase) and converts into a full-time permanent position by Month 4–5 as module development accelerates. If you want to design a modern, automation-first QA process on a Greenfield project, this is the opportunity.What You’ll Do

- Test Design & Execution: Write and execute structured test suites from functional specs and acceptance criteria, covering edge cases, complex workflows, and negative scenarios.
- Automation Engineering: Build, maintain, and expand an end-to-end regression automation suite (preferably using Playwright with TypeScript or Cypress).
- API & Integration Testing: Validate REST API endpoints, business logic, and data flow prior to UI-level testing.
- RBAC & Security Validation: Systematically test role-based access controls and user permissions across all ERP modules.
- CI/CD & Pipeline Integration: Integrate test suites into GitHub Actions so tests run automatically on pull requests and staging deployments.
- Defect Management & Reporting: Log actionable bug reports with exact reproduction steps, payloads, screenshots, and logs, providing test summary reports for every release.

What We’re Looking For

- Functional & Automation Mastery: 2-5 years of web application QA experience with proven success building test automation suites (Playwright or Cypress preferred).
- API & Data Verification:



Strong hands-on experience with API testing (Postman/REST client) and ability to write SQL queries to inspect PostgreSQL database states directly.
- Tech Stack Familiarity: Comfortable using Git (pulling branches, resolving local issues) and basic command-line navigation.
- Systematic Thinking: Exceptional eye for edge cases, permission boundaries, and complex data dependencies that developers often overlook.
- Clear Communication: Writes explicit, precise bug reports and communicates proactively with development teams.

Good to Have

- CI/CD & Containerization: Experience with GitHub Actions workflows and spinning up local development environments via Docker.
- Performance Testing: Basic load and stress testing using tools like k6 or JMeter.
- Domain Experience: Prior exposure to testing ERP, CRM, HRMS, or complex multi-tenant enterprise platforms.

Why Join Us

- Greenfield Architecture: Build the QA process from scratch - your automation framework will set the standard for the entire platform.
- Clear Pathway to Full-Time: A structured contract-to-perm transition timeline with high visibility and direct impact on production code.
- Strong Ownership: Your sign-off is the final quality gate before deployment, ensuring true accountability.
- Location: Chennai
- Experience: 2-3 Years
