Quality Assurance Engineer II - Selenium/Playwright Testing

Description :

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer who will play a critical role in ensuring high product quality, reducing release risks, and scaling automation across teams. This is a hands-on, high-ownership individual contributor role where you will influence quality practices, collaborate deeply with engineers, and act as a quality champion within your product area. This role goes beyond test execution; you will help define how quality is built into the system while still being deeply involved in automation, debugging, and release readiness.

Responsibilities :

- Own end-to-end quality for assigned product areas/features.

- Design, review, and execute comprehensive test strategies (functional, regression, integration).

- Lead feature-level release sign-offs in collaboration with engineering and product.

- Actively debug failures across UI, backend, and APIs to identify root causes.

- Work closely with Customer Support to reproduce, analyse, and prevent customer-reported issues.

- Build, extend, and maintain automated test suites for UI, API, and backend services.

- Improve test reliability by identifying and fixing flaky tests.

- Drive reduction in manual regression time through automation ROI.

- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and ensure fast feedback cycles.

- Collaborate with developers to shift quality left (testability, better coverage, early validation).

Requirements :

- 4+ years of experience in software quality engineering.

- Strong ability to design high-quality test scenarios from ambiguous requirements.

- Hands-on experience in test automation using tools like Selenium, Playwright, Webdriver.io, or similar.

- Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, JavaScript, Java, etc. ).

- Solid experience with API testing, backend validation, and debugging.

- Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and version control systems (Git).

- Strong RCA skills with the ability to prevent repeat issues.

- Excellent communication skills and confidence to challenge assumptions.

- High ownership mindset with strong attention to detail and quality standards.

- Experience testing microservices-based architectures.

- Familiarity with performance testing tools like JMeter.

- Experience with Linux/Unix environments.

- Exposure to test metrics such as bug leakage, automation coverage, and regression effectiveness.

- Experience mentoring junior QA engineers.
