QA Engineer

Jobtailor; Manila; On-site; PHP 800,000 - 1,100,000; Full time

Job summary

Jobtailor seeks a QA/test engineer to own API test automation and AI-driven testing within enterprise tech programs. You will design API tests with Pytest, drive AI-assisted test generation, and manage synthetic/masked data to ensure quality.

You will also implement self-healing patterns and lead non-functional testing across performance, resilience, and security hooks. In this role, you will triage defects, work with the BA on acceptance criteria, and coordinate with engineers on test hooks.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on QA/test engineering experience on enterprise technology programs.
• Strong API test automation experience against microservices; Go or equivalent.
• Hands-on use of AI-native test tooling for test-case generation and data.
• Test data management including synthetic/masked data and PII handling.
• Strong defect triage and root-cause analysis skills.

Responsibilities

• Own iteration test strategy and test plans aligned to strategy.
• Design and build API-level automated tests using pytest framework.
• Drive AI-led test case generation and synthetic data generation.
• Implement self-healing automation patterns to reduce flakiness.
• Own non-functional test coverage including performance, resilience, and security hooks.
• Triage, reproduce, and own defects through resolution in iterations.
• Enforce KPI gating for Sev 1/Sev 2 and coordinate with platform teams.
• Feed KPI reporting with defect density, escape rate, and automation coverage.

Job description

• Own the iteration test strategy and test plan aligned to the LFS PayTech Test Strategy
• Design and build API-level automated tests using the pytest framework, including contract, integration, and end-to-end tests
• Drive AI-led test case generation, synthetic/masked test data generation, and risk-based test selection using approved test-automation AI tooling
• Implement self-healing automation patterns where they materially reduce flakiness and maintenance effort
• Own non-functional test coverage for each service, including performance smoke, resilience, and security test hooks, coordinated with LFS platform teams
• Triage, reproduce, and own defects through resolution during iteration delivery and 2-week JSIT windows
• Enforce the no-open-Sev-1/Sev-2 KPI gate
• Partner with the BA on acceptance criteria and with engineers on test hooks designed in rather than bolted on
• Feed iteration KPI reporting with test-quality signals such as defect density, escape rate, and automation coverage
• Contribute to showcase demonstrations with clear, test-evidenced quality narratives

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on QA / test engineering experience on enterprise technology programs
• Strong API test automation experience against Go or comparable microservices
• Hands-on experience with Pytest, Puppeteer, or Playwright; able to write automation, not only configure it
• Demonstrable hands-on use of AI-native test tooling for AI-led test case generation and synthetic test data
• Test data management discipline, including synthetic/masked data, PII handling, and compliance with LFS data classifications
• Strong defect triage and root-cause analysis skills
• Comfortable operating under KPI gating for Sev 1/Sev 2
• Strong written and spoken English
• Able to work from the Outsourcey Manila facility on provisioned devices under LFS security standards
• Desirable: card issuing, payments, or core banking domain experience
• Desirable: experience authoring test strategy artefacts for fixed-price, iteration-based delivery
• Desirable: exposure to k6, JMeter, chaos testing, OWASP ZAP, SAST/DAST gates
• Desirable: contributions to internal QA playbooks or AI-assisted testing standards
• Desirable: Buildkite or equivalent pipeline integration and test reporting into Datadog

Core Competencies

Demonstrates expertise in API Test Automation using Pytest and AI-led test tooling, with a strong focus on non-functional testing, defect triage, and compliance with data management standards. Proven ability to drive test strategy and quality metrics in enterprise technology environments.
