Quality Engineer

Quality Engineer

Job Description

The Role

As a Quality Engineer, you will embed quality at every stage of the software development lifecycle from requirements through release. You will work closely with developers, product managers, and fellow quality engineers to ensure testing is effective, efficient, and built into the delivery process, not bolted on at the end.

You will be a hands-on contributor and a quality advocate — executing tests, contributing to automation frameworks, and partnering with cross-functional teams to drive defect prevention and continuous improvement. You will also stay at the forefront of quality engineering practices, including AI-driven and model-based testing approaches.

Primary Responsibilities

Test Planning & Execution

• Collaborate with the team to understand product requirements and acceptance criteria, contributing to test scenario and test case creation with a focus on edge cases and coverage gaps.
• Execute manual test cases, clearly log defects, and verify bug fixes.
• Support regression and exploratory testing efforts to ensure comprehensive coverage across releases.

Test Automation

• Contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of automated test suites covering UI, API, and backend services.
• Apply testing frameworks and tools to expand automation coverage and reduce manual testing overhead.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, building familiarity with continuous testing practices.

Issue Tracking & Reporting

• Identify, log, and track defects using standard tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps; participate in defect triage to support timely resolution.
• Provide test execution results, quality metrics, and status updates to the team clearly and consistently.
• Contribute to documentation and knowledge sharing as expertise grows.

Collaboration & Quality Advocacy

• Partner with developers and product owners during design and testing discussions to build testability into requirements from the start.
• Participate in code reviews, pair testing, and debugging sessions.
• Communicate test progress, results, and risks to stakeholders clearly and effectively.
• Advocate for a quality-first mindset across the software development lifecycle.

Quality Governance & Standards

• Follow defined QE processes, policies, and compliance standards including ISO, GxP, HIPAA, and other applicable regulations.
• Contribute feedback to improve quality practices, tools, and workflows; ensure test deliverables align with organizational and regulatory expectations.

Performance, Security & Reliability Testing

• Support performance and load testing activities to validate scalability and reliability.
• Collaborate with security teams on vulnerability testing and validation.
• Build familiarity with observability tools and shift-right testing practices.

Growth & Continuous Improvement

• Stay proactive in learning new tools, frameworks, and testing methodologies; participate in team retrospectives and apply feedback to future testing efforts.
• Expand skills in automation, performance testing, and quality metrics over time.
• Research and apply emerging practices including AI-driven testing and model-based testing.

What You Bring

Technical Expertise

• Strong understanding of software testing methodologies — functional, regression, performance, security, and exploratory.
• Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks such as Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, JUnit, or TestNG.
• Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language — Java, Python, or JavaScript.
• Experience with API testing tools such as Postman, RestAssured, or SoapUI.
• Exposure to performance and load testing tools such as JMeter, Gatling, or Locust.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps, and version control via Git.
• Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with test management tools such as TestRail, XRay, Qtest, or Quality Center.

Process & Methodology

• Working knowledge of Agile methodologies — Scrum and Kanban — and shift-left testing practices.
• Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams, balancing technical rigor with collaborative delivery.

Leadership & Communication

• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and team-building skills with the ability to work across business and technical teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for effective collaboration and reporting.
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills.
• Growth mindset with curiosity, adaptability, and eagerness to learn new tools and practices.
• Ability to mentor peers and contribute to building a culture of quality across the team.
