Job description

We are looking for a passionate and detail-oriented Software Engineer in Quality Assurance (Automation) to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be at the forefront of building and scaling our test automation ecosystem — owning quality end-to-end, from test design to continuous delivery pipelines. You'll work closely with developers, product managers, and DevOps to ensure our products are robust, reliable, and release-ready at all times.

What You'll Do

• Design, build & maintain scalable automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber, and TestNG.
• Own test strategy for assigned squads — defining scope, coverage, and risk from requirements through production.
• Write BDD feature files (Gherkin) to enable collaboration between QA, Dev, and Product stakeholders.
• Implement TDD practices — writing tests before or alongside code to drive quality in development cycles.
• Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar) for continuous feedback.
• Perform API testing and validate end-to-end user journeys across web and services.
• Identify, document & triage defects with clear reproduction steps, severity classification, and root-cause analysis.
• Mentor junior QA engineers and champion quality best practices across the engineering org.
• Continuously evaluate test health, flakiness, and coverage gaps — iterating to keep automation suite trustworthy.

What We're Looking For

Must-Have Skills

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in QA automation in a product engineering environment.
• Strong proficiency with Selenium WebDriver — page object model, explicit waits, cross-browser testing.
• Solid experience with Cucumber (BDD) — writing and maintaining feature files, step definitions, and hooks.
• Hands-on with TestNG — test configuration, data providers, listeners, parallel execution, and reporting.
• Working knowledge of TDD principles and integrating tests into agile development workflows.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language — Java or Python preferred.
• Experience with CI/CD integration and running tests in automated pipelines.
• Strong analytical thinking with an eye for edge cases, boundary conditions, and failure modes.
• Excellent communication skills — ability to clearly articulate test findings to technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have

• Domain knowledge in Payments — understanding of payment flows, gateways, settlement, reconciliation, or fraud systems.
• Experience testing APIs with tools like Postman, RestAssured, or similar.
• Familiarity with performance / load testing tools (JMeter, Gatling, k6).
• Exposure to cloud testing environments (Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, AWS Device Farm).
• Knowledge of security testing basics relevant to financial or transactional systems.
• Experience with mobile automation (Appium or similar).

The Mindset We Value

Beyond technical skills, we hire for how you think and operate:

• Ownership mindset — you treat quality as your personal responsibility, not a sign-off gate. You proactively identify risks, flag issues early, and see bugs as a systemic problem to solve.
• Shift-left thinking — you involve yourself in requirements and design discussions, not just execution phase.
• Bias for automation — if something is tested manually more than twice, you ask how to automate it.
• Collaborative — you work with developers as partners, not adversaries, and build shared ownership of quality.
• Continuous improvement — you regularly revisit your frameworks and practices, improving coverage, speed, and reliability.
