Test Engineer

Job Description

Test Engineer

Work Location : Koregaon Park, Pune

Work model: Hybrid working (3 days / week in office)

Work hours: CET Time zone (9 hours)

Goals and deliverables

Key responsibilities

• Design and implement automated tests at multiple levels (unit, API/contract, integration, UI, end-to-end) and ensure they run reliably in CI/CD.
• Embed quality engineering practices into DevOps delivery (shift-left and shift-right) with a focus on prevention over detection.
• Perform risk analysis and define test strategies based on business impact, critical user journeys, and failure scenarios (FMEA-style thinking).
• Build and maintain quality gates in pipelines (test execution, coverage thresholds, static analysis, vulnerability checks, artifact promotion rules).
• Improve testability and quality-by-design with engineering teams (observability, feature flags, resilient design, dependency mocking/service virtualization).
• Establish and monitor quality metrics (defect escape rate, flaky test rate, pipeline health, lead time to detect, MTTR contributors).
• Drive continuous improvement of test frameworks, tooling, and environments (test data, environment readiness, parallelization, execution time).
• Implement non-functional testing practices where relevant (performance, reliability, security testing coordination).
• Contribute to the Test & Quality transformation roadmap, including identifying where AI can accelerate: test design, test maintenance, defect triage, log analysis, and documentation.
• Identify and implement opportunities for automation and process improvements.

Education and experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Quality Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5 years of professional experience in software quality engineering. (e.g., 3+ years for mid-level, 5+ for senior)
• Proven experience as a QA/Test Engineer or Quality Engineer in Agile/DevOps environments
• Strong quality engineering mindset: risk-based testing, preventive defect approach, and failure-mode thinking.
• Hands-on test automation experience (one or more of: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium; plus API automation with REST tools/frameworks).
• Familiarity with DevSecOps practices (SAST/DAST, dependency scanning) and secure testing fundamentals.
• Proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language used for automation (e.g., Java, C#, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript).
• Practical CI/CD experience (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Gitlab pipelines or equivalent) including pipeline integration of automated tests.
• Experience designing test strategies and defining quality gates and metrics.
• Strong understanding of testing concepts across the pyramid (unit integration E2E) and how to optimize for speed and stability.
• Proficiency with Agentic IDEs and Experience with Agent in the loop workflows for automatic testing and quality testing.
• Experience reading Design Tokens and ensure the UI code matches the source of truth through automated visual validation

Language skills

• Fluent English
