• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and DevOps to embed quality into every stage of development.
• Monitor, report, and troubleshoot bugs and performance issues.
• Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines with automated test coverage (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Act as an IC in the short term while contributing to the growth of the QA function and building a team over time.
• Drive a quality‑first culture across teams and processes.

Qualifications

• ✅ 5+ years of experience in QA or test engineering, with a strong hands‑on mindset.
• Proven experience in automated testing of APIs and backend systems.
• Familiarity with tools such as Postman, Cypress, Selenium, Playwright, REST Assured, etc.

• Solid understanding of agile development, SDLC, and QA best practices.
• Bonus – Experience building or leading QA teams, even informally.
