# QA Engineer – Product Quality & Automation

Company: KAVIA AILocation: India (Remote or Hybrid; collaboration with global teams)Type: Full-timeCompensation: ₹6 LPA

# About KAVIA AI

KAVIA AI is an enterprise software company with a live, production AI platform in use today.

We build an AI-native workflow and reasoning layer for the full software development lifecycle - spanning requirements, architecture, code, testing, CI/CD, and long-term maintenance. Our platform is used by enterprise teams working on real, large-scale codebases, not demos or internal experiments.

AI at KAVIA is foundational. The platform is built around agent-based orchestration, enterprise knowledge graphs, and full lifecycle traceability, enabling teams to understand, evolve, and ship complex software systems with greater speed, confidence, and structure.

As the platform and customer footprint scale, we're hiring a QA Engineer to help improve day-to-day product quality, strengthen regression coverage, and support a more disciplined approach to testing and release readiness.

# The Role

This is a hands-on QA role on an existing, production platform.

As a QA Engineer, you will work closely with engineering, product, and the broader quality function to test product workflows, validate releases, identify bugs, and help improve quality across the platform. You will contribute to both manual and automated testing, with a strong focus on execution, attention to detail, and learning how to test complex workflows well.

This role sits at the intersection of product testing, workflow validation, regression discipline, and growing automation exposure.

This role is ideal for an early-career QA engineer who wants strong product exposure, practical ownership, and the opportunity to grow in a fast-moving enterprise SaaS environment.

# What You'll Do

# Product Testing & Validation

• Test core product workflows spanning UI, backend services, APIs, and multi-step user experiences
• Execute test cases for new features, existing workflows, and regression scenarios
• Perform hands-on exploratory testing to identify bugs, usability issues, and workflow gaps
• Translate requirements and product behavior into clear, accurate test scenarios

# Quality Engineering & Automation

• Contribute to automated test coverage for important product workflows
• Help build and maintain end-to-end, integration, regression, and API tests across the platform
• Improve test reliability and test execution discipline over time
• Support practical quality engineering efforts appropriate for a growing product company

# Release Readiness & Execution

• Support release readiness by validating critical flows before production releases
• Reproduce issues clearly and help engineering teams validate fixes
• Log thoughtful, high-quality bugs with clear steps, expected behavior, and business impact
• Help maintain regression suites, release checklists, and testing documentation

# Team Collaboration

• Work closely with QA, engineering, and product teams in a high-trust environment
• Learn how to identify edge cases, workflow risks, and common failure modes
• Contribute to a culture of ownership, rigor, and practical execution
• Grow into broader responsibility across automation and product quality over time

# What We're Looking For

# Required

• Around 2 years of professional experience in software testing, QA, or quality engineering
• Hands-on experience in product testing, regression testing, and bug reporting
• Experience testing web applications and APIs
• Exposure to automation tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar
• Ability to understand product requirements and translate them into strong test scenarios
• Good attention to detail, communication, and ownership
• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment with changing product behavior

# Strong Plus

• Exposure to Python or JavaScript for automation, scripting, or test tooling
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and release processes
• Experience testing complex workflows, developer tools, or AI-assisted systems
• Startup or product company experience
• Strong learning velocity and willingness to take on increasing ownership

# Why This Role Is Interesting

• Work on a real, production enterprise platform
• Build strong foundations in product testing, automation, and release quality
• Work closely with engineering and product teams on meaningful technical problems
• Gain exposure to AI-native workflows and enterprise software delivery
• Grow into a broader quality engineering role over time

# Who This Role Is a Good Fit For

This role tends to resonate with engineers who:

• Care about product quality and getting details right
• Enjoy finding issues before customers do
• Want to build strength in both manual and automated testing
• Prefer real product exposure over repetitive test execution
• Want to grow quickly in a fast-evolving engineering environment
