• Run functional, regression, smoke, sanity, integration and exploratory testing each sprint.
• Mobile: Test Android and iOS apps on real devices and emulators/simulators, covering OS versions, screen sizes, permissions, push notifications, offline mode, interruptions and app upgrades.
• API: Validate REST endpoints with Postman or similar status codes, payloads, schema, auth tokens, error handling and negative cases.

Must-Have Skills

Candidates must show strong manual testing across mobile, API and web, backed by real project examples.

• Manual Testing Fundamentals: SDLC/STLC, test case design (boundary values, equivalence partitioning, decision tables), regression and exploratory testing.
• Mobile App Testing: Android and iOS functional testing, device/OS coverage, install/upgrade, network and interruption scenarios, reading device logs.
• Tools: Real devices, Android Studio emulator, Xcode simulator, BrowserStack / LambdaTest
• API Testing: REST concepts, HTTP methods and status codes, JSON, auth (tokens, OAuth), collections and environment variables.
• Tools: Postman, Swagger / OpenAPI
• Web Testing: Cross-browser and responsive testing, browser DevTools (console, network tab).
• Tools: Chrome DevTools

• Database Basics: Simple SELECT queries, joins and filters to verify data.
• Tools: MySQL / PostgreSQL
• Agile Ways of Working: Sprint-based delivery, working closely with developers and product.
• Tools: Scrum / Kanban

Preferred candidate profile

Automation experience is a differentiator, not a requirement; a candidate who has written and run real scripts ranks above one who has only read about them.

• Web Automation: Selenium WebDriver or Playwright, with Java, Python, JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Test Frameworks: TestNG / JUnit, PyTest, or Playwright Test; Page Object Model.
• API Automation: Postman/Newman, REST Assured or Playwright API testing.
• Mobile Automation: Basic exposure to Appium.

Qualifications

Bachelors degree in Computer Science, IT or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

2-3 years as a QA / test engineer, with at least one shipped mobile app and one web product.

Soft Skills

Strong attention to detail and a habit of thinking through edge cases.

Clear written and verbal communication, especially in bug reports and test summaries.

Ownership of quality: follows defects through to closure without being chased.

Works well with developers, product managers and designers; comfortable pushing back with evidence.

Eager to learn and grow into automation.
