What You’ll Do

• Design and implement scalable, maintainable automation frameworks for API, UI, and data testing.
• Execute rigorous manual exploratory testing on new features before automation to ensure business, logic is sound, and user flows are intuitive.
• Build and maintain scalable test frameworks for REST APIs (Nest.js/PHP) and modern web frontends (Next.js/React) using Playwright or Cypress.
• Numerical Validation: Perform manual and automated validation of SQL queries in Snowflake, specifically scrutinizing cost metrics and anomaly detection for ' commonsense' errors.
• Embed automated quality gates into GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines to catch regressions at the PR level.
• Manually and automatically validate complex user journeys ensuring multi-tenant data isolation and dashboard accuracy.
• Lead root-cause analysis for escaped defects and collaborate with engineering triage and resolution.

What You’ll Bring

• 4–6 years of experience in software testing with a strong background in both manual and automated methodologies.
• Deep understanding of the SDLC and mastery of various testing types (functional, regression, sanity, and exploratory).
• Hands-on experience with Playwright, Cypress, or similar modern frameworks.
• Data & SQL Mastery: Strong SQL skills with experience validating complex data aggregations and financial metrics in Snowflake.
• An exceptional eye for catching numerical errors and edge cases within complex financial data outputs.
• High ownership and the ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.

Nice to Have
