ROLE SUMMARY

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to lead our quality initiatives and ensure the delivery of high-performing, reliable software. As a key member of our engineering team, you will not only design and execute complex testing strategies but also act as a mentor, process advocate, and architectural advisor. You will be instrumental in evolving our automated testing frameworks and fostering a "quality-first" culture across the entire development lifecycle.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 1.

Strategy and Test Architecture Test Planning:

Designing comprehensive test strategies for complex features, ensuring full coverage across unit, integration, system, and regression testing.

Automation Framework Development:

Designing and maintaining robust automation frameworks from scratch, selecting the right tools (e.g., Playwright, FlaUI, Protractor, RestAssured, Selenium, Playwright etc) that align with the company's tech stack.

CI/CD Integration:

Working on the DevOps tasks to integrate automated testing into the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment pipelines to ensure "quality at speed." Test lab management: Upkeep of all the test environments (on premise and cloud). Managing the security patching on the test deployments. 2.

Technical Execution Risk Analysis:

Performing deep-dive risk assessments to identify which parts of the application are most prone to failure and prioritizing testing efforts accordingly.

Performance and Security Testing:

Moving beyond functional testing to oversee or perform non-functional testing, including load testing, stress testing, and basic security vulnerability assessment.

Root Cause Analysis:

Investigating complex production issues to understand why bugs escaped the testing cycle and implementing safeguards to prevent recurrence. 3.

Leadership and Mentorship Mentoring:

Coaching junior engineers on best practices, code quality, and testing methodologies.

Process Improvement:

Identifying bottlenecks in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and proposing process improvements (such as shifting left

• testing earlier in the development cycle).

Advocacy:

Acting as a "Quality Champion" within the organization, promoting a culture where quality is a shared responsibility among developers, product managers, and designers. 4.

Collaboration and Communication Requirement Analysis:

Participating in design and architecture meetings early in the process to identify logical flaws or edge cases before code is even written.

Stakeholder Reporting:

Translating technical quality metrics (e.g., defect density, test coverage, pass/fail rates) into actionable insights for product managers and stakeholders. Qualifications

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Programming Skills:

Proficiency in at least one object-oriented language (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript) to build and maintain complex automation frameworks.

Automation Frameworks:

Expertise in industry-standard tools. Experience developing automated tests for Windows based applications is highly preferred.

Web:

Selenium, Playwright, or FlaUI.

API:

Postman, REST Assured, or PyTest.

CI/CD Knowledge:

Practical experience with pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).

Infrastructure & Cloud:

Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) to simulate production-like testing environments.

Metrics-Driven Mindset:

Experience defining and tracking KPIs such as Mean Time to Detect (MTTD), Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR), and defect leakage rates to demonstrate the ROI of the QA team.

Agile/Scrum Experience:

Strong background working in iterative environments, including participation in sprint planning, grooming, and retrospectives.

Industrial Automation Domain:

Experience with SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) application and PLC devices

REQUIRED.

Education & Experience Bachelor's degree in computer science or in "STEM" Majors (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) A minimum of 6 years of professional experience
