Quality Engineering Developer - offshore

Zensar Technologies; Mumbai; On-site; INR 1,200,000 - 1,800,000; Full time

Job summary

Zensar Technologies is hiring for a QA Automation role in Mumbai, India. You will build scalable automation frameworks across UI, API, integration, and event-driven layers, acting as a quality architect to influence design, testability, and release readiness.

You will embed automated quality gates into CI/CD pipelines and engineer quality for distributed systems, microservices, and high-availability platforms, leveraging GenAI to accelerate test design, automation development, and debugging.

Qualifications

• Expert-level Java/Python and OOP principles.
• Experience building automation frameworks from scratch.
• Hands-on Playwright UI automation.
• Strong API and integration testing (REST, microservices).
• CI/CD with automated quality gates (TeamCity, Jenkins, GitHub).
• Solid understanding of SQL and data validation.
• Experience validating high-availability, low-latency systems.
• Practical, maintainable BDD implementations.

Responsibilities

• Partner with product owners, developers, architects, and platform teams to define project-specific quality strategy, acceptance criteria, testability standards, and release-readiness checkpoints.
• Design and maintain end-to-end automated test coverage for critical journeys across UI, API, microservices, database, integration, and event-driven components.
• Build reusable test utilities, service virtualization, mocks, stubs, synthetic test data, and environment-aware automation.
• Integrate automated checks into CI/CD pipelines with clear quality gates and actionable reporting.
• Validate asynchronous workflows, message queues, event schemas, retries, idempotency, and data consistency.
• Use SQL, logs, metrics, traces, and production telemetry to validate backend processing and diagnose defects.
• Apply Spec-Driven Development by converting requirements into executable tests and measurable outcomes.
• Use approved AI/GenAI tools to accelerate design, coding, debugging while validating outputs.
• Contribute to QE toolchain and framework architecture.
• Own defect quality from discovery through closure and release risk communication.
