Job description

We need someone who can look at a product and find what's wrong with it before anyone else does. You'll test web and mobile apps for clients across fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce, writing test cases that cover every scenario and edge case that matters.

Write detailed test cases covering functional, regression, smoke, integration, and edge case scenarios.

Execute test cases against acceptance criteria and report results with pass/fail status and evidence.

Perform exploratory testing to uncover defects beyond scripted test cases.

Test REST APIs using Postman to validate endpoints, response data, status codes, and error handling.

Validate payment flows, checkout processes, and transaction accuracy for e-commerce and fintech clients.

Log bugs with clear reproduction steps, screenshots, screen recordings, expected vs actual results, and severity.

Verify bug fixes and perform regression testing before release sign-off.

Maintain and update test plans, test case repositories, and traceability matrices.

Participate in sprint planning, daily standups, and test review meetings.

Coordinate UAT with stakeholders and provide go/no-go recommendations for production releases.

Use AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot to generate test scenarios, identify edge cases, and speed up test documentation.

• Excellent written communication for detailed bug reports with reproduction steps, screenshots, and severity classification.
• Experience working with remote, distributed teams across multiple time zones.
• Familiarity with using AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini to generate test cases, explore edge cases, and accelerate test documentation.

Nice to Have

• Basic knowledge of test automation using Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium, ability to read and understand automated test scripts.
• Experience using AI-powered testing tools for test case generation, exploratory testing suggestions, or defect prediction.
