Your Role
We’re looking for an SDET who is equally comfortable exploring an application like a sharp manual tester and building robust automation frameworks like an engineer. You'll own quality across web, mobile, and API layers, and help us test the next generation of AI-driven, agentic solutions. The role is split roughly 50% hands‑on manual testing and 50% test automation.
Responsibilities
Manual Testing (~50%)
- Analyze requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria to design detailed test scenarios and cases
- Perform functional, exploratory, regression, and UAT testing across web and mobile applications
- Log, triage, and track defects with clear reproduction steps, and work closely with developers to resolve them
- Validate end-to-end business flows, including edge cases, data integrity, and failure scenarios
- Test the behavior of agentic and AI-driven features, including response quality, guardrails, tool-calling accuracy, and non-deterministic outputs
- Contribute to test planning, estimation, release sign-off, and quality reporting
Automation (~50%)
- Design, build, and maintain scalable UI automation frameworks using Playwright
- Automate mobile app testing (Android/iOS) using Appium
- Develop and execute API test suites using Postman (and code-based API tests in Python/Java)
- Create and run performance, load, and stress tests using JMeter, and analyze bottlenecks and results
- Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing and fast feedback
- Improve test coverage, reduce flakiness, and continuously optimize execution time
- Evaluate and apply agentic testing approaches, such as AI-assisted test generation, self-healing scripts, and agent-based test orchestration
Job Requirements
- 4-7 years of experience in software testing, with a strong balance of manual and automation work
- Strong programming skills in Python or Java
- Hands‑on experience with Playwright, Appium, JMeter, and Postman
- Working knowledge of at least one cloud platform: AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Exposure to and a good understanding of agentic solutions and platforms, including how AI agents work, how they use tools and orchestrate tasks, and how to test and validate their behavior
- Solid understanding of SDLC, STLC, Agile/Scrum, and test design techniques
- Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar) and version control (Git)
- Strong analytical, debugging, and problem‑solving skills
- Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to collaborate across product, engineering, and DevOps teams
Useful Qualifications
- Domain exposure to fintech (payments, banking, lending, wallets) or retail/e-commerce platforms
- Experience with containerization (Docker) and test environments on cloud infrastructure
- Familiarity with LLM evaluation, prompt testing, or frameworks for agent workflows (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, or similar)
- Knowledge of security testing basics, test data management, and observability tools
- Relevant certifications (ISTQB, AWS/GCP/Azure fundamentals or associate level)
