About the Role

We're looking for a QA Engineer to help ensure the reliability, correctness, and quality of our client's platform. You'll be responsible for designing test cases, executing manual and automated testing, and validating both UI and API‑level behaviour across the platform. This role is hands‑on and balanced across manual testing, test design, automation, and API testing. You'll play an important role in shaping testing practices as the platform continues to grow.

Test Planning & Design

• Analyse product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria to define comprehensive test coverage
• Write clear, structured test cases covering functional, regression, integration, and edge‑case scenarios
• Maintain test documentation and ensure traceability between requirements, test cases, and defects
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to clarify requirements and identify risk areas early

Manual Testing

• Execute manual test cases across web applications and APIs
• Perform exploratory testing to uncover edge cases and unexpected behaviours
• Validate fixes and perform regression testing prior to releases
• Test across different environments (development, test, staging, production validation where applicable)

API Testing

• Design and execute API test cases using Postman
• Create and maintain Postman collections covering core workflows and edge cases
• Write automated Postman scripts (pre‑request scripts, test assertions) using JavaScript
• Validate request/response payloads, authentication, error handling, and data integrity
• Use API testing to support faster feedback loops and reduce reliance on UI‑only testing

Test Automation

• Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites using Playwright
• Write and maintain automated tests using Python
• Identify candidates for automation and prioritise high‑value test coverage
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines where applicable
• Ensure automated tests are reliable, maintainable, and provide meaningful feedback to the team

Defect Management & Reporting

• Log, track, and manage defects using Jira, providing clear reproduction steps and supporting evidence
• Work closely with developers to investigate issues and validate fixes
• Provide clear test status, quality metrics, and risk assessments to the team

Test Management & Tooling

• Manage test cases and test runs using a test management tool such as Qase
• Maintain regression suites across UI and API layers
• Help improve test processes, tooling, and documentation over time

Collaboration & Quality Ownership

• Act as a quality advocate within the team
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives
• Contribute to improving release confidence and reducing escaped defects
• Help establish and evolve QA best practices as the team and platform scale

Qualification and Experience

• Experience working as a QA Engineer / Test Engineer in a production environment
• Strong experience with manual testing and test case design
• Hands‑on experience with API testing, including Postman, writing automated Postman test scripts and assertions
• Hands‑on experience with test automation, specifically Playwright and Python
• Experience using Jira for defect tracking and workflow management
• Familiarity with test management tools such as Qase
• Understanding of software development lifecycles and agile delivery
• Strong attention to detail and a structured approach to testing

Nice to Have

• Experience testing fintech, payments, or regulated systems
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated test execution
• Experience validating authentication flows (JWT, OAuth, API keys, etc.)
• Basic understanding of SQL and data validation techniques
• Knowledge of performance, security, or accessibility testing concepts

How You Work

• You're detail‑oriented and methodical, but pragmatic about risk
• You communicate clearly and constructively with engineers and product managers
• You're proactive in identifying issues and improving test coverage
• You balance UI, API, and automation testing effectively
• You take ownership of quality rather than treating it as a separate phase

Benefits

• Flexibility in work hours and location, with a focus on managing energy rather than time
• Access to online learning platforms and a budget for professional development
• A collaborative, no‑silos environment, encouraging learning and growth across teams
• A dynamic social culture with team lunches, social events, and opportunities for creative input
• Health insurance
• Leave benefits
• Provident fund
• Gratuity
