Position Overview

We are seeking an Quality Assurance Engineer who combines strong software testing fundamentals with practical experience using Generative AI as part of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).

This role is ideal for a QA professional who understands both traditional quality engineering principles and the evolving AI-assisted engineering landscape. You will be responsible for ensuring software quality through manual testing, automated testing, API validation, and AI-powered quality engineering practices.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to leverage AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or equivalent technologies to improve test design, accelerate automation, enhance defect discovery, and improve overall delivery quality.

Key Responsibilities

Manual & Functional Testing

• Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and testing strategies.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, smoke, exploratory, and user acceptance testing.
• Validate requirements and ensure complete feature coverage across web and mobile applications.
• Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects through resolution.

API & Backend Testing

• Conduct API testing using tools such as Postman.
• Validate request/response payloads, authentication mechanisms, and data integrity.
• Perform database validation and backend testing using SQL queries.

Test Automation

• Develop, maintain, and enhance automated test suites.
• Create automation scripts using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or equivalent frameworks.
• Support CI/CD pipelines and automated testing initiatives.
• Continuously improve automation coverage and framework reliability.

AI-Assisted Quality Engineering

• Utilize Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, or equivalent AI technologies within the SDLC.
• Generate AI-assisted test cases, test plans, and testing strategies.
• Leverage AI to accelerate exploratory testing and defect identification.
• Utilize AI-assisted approaches to generate automation scripts.
• Perform defect triage and root cause analysis using AI-enhanced workflows.
• Produce high-quality QA documentation using AI-assisted techniques.
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering efficiency through responsible AI adoption.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, Developers, and DevOps teams.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Contribute to QA best practices, standards, and process improvements.
• Support release validation and production readiness activities.
