Job description

We are seeking a forward-thinking QA Analyst to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate

brings a modern quality mindset - one that blends traditional QA rigor with AI-assisted tooling, intelligent test automation, and a shift-left approach embedded throughout the software development lifecycle. You'll work alongside developers, product managers, and AI systems to deliver exceptional software quality at speed.

Key Responsibilities

• 1. AI-Augmented Test Design: Leverage AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Testim, Mabl, or similar) to generate, maintain, and optimize test cases - reducing manual authoring time and expanding test coverage.
• 2. Shift-Left Quality: Embed quality practices early in the development cycle by collaborating with product and engineering during requirements and design, catching defects before code
• 3. Automated Testing: Design, build, and maintain end-to-end automated test suites using frameworks like Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress, integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• 4. AI Flow Integration: Validate and test AI-powered features and workflows within the product including prompt behavior, model outputs, edge cases, and integration with LLM APIs ensuring reliability and accuracy.
• 5. Defect Management: Identify, document, and prioritize defects using Jira; partner closely with developers using data from AI-assisted root cause analysis tools to drive faster
• 6. Functional & Non-Functional Testing: Execute functional, regression, integration, performance, and exploratory testing across web, mobile, and API surfaces.
• 7. CI/CD Quality Gates: Maintain and improve automated quality gates within Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar pipelines to enforce code quality on every build.
• 8. Data Validation: Ensure data integrity through SQL queries, API response validation, and schema checks including validation of AI model inputs and outputs.
• 9. Test Strategy & Documentation: Author and maintain living test plans, test strategies, and runbooks that reflect modern, AI-assisted workflows.
• 10. Continuous Improvement: Actively monitor QA metrics (defect escape rate, test coverage, automation ROI) and use AI-driven analytics to identify trends and improve quality processes

Mandatory Skills & Qualifications

• 1. Automation Expertise: Hands-on experience building and maintaining automated test suites. Proficiency with Selenium required; experience with Playwright or Cypress a strong plus.
• 2. AI Tool Proficiency: Demonstrated experience using AI-powered development or testing tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Testim, Mabl, ChatGPT for test scripting, or similar) to accelerate for test automation and scripting.
• 4. API Testing: Experience testing REST APIs using tools like Postman, RestAssured, or similar.
• 5. CI/CD Integration: Familiarity with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar pipelines for integrating and running automated tests.
• 6. Database Knowledge: Proficiency in SQL for data validation and backend verification.
• 7. Agile & DevOps Mindset: Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum workflows and DevOps
• 8. Jira: Experience with Jira for defect tracking, sprint ceremonies, and test management integrations.
• 9. Debugging Skills: Strong ability to isolate, reproduce, and communicate root causes of

AI & Emerging Skills (Preferred)

• 1. LLM/AI Feature Testing: Experience validating AI-generated outputs, prompt chains, or LLM-integrated workflows for accuracy, hallucination, bias, and edge-case behavior.
• 2. AI Test Generation: Familiarity with tools that auto-generate test cases from user stories, code diffs, or acceptance criteria using machine learning.
• 3. Observability Tools: Experience with monitoring and log-based tools (e.g., Datadog, Splunk, Grafana) to support AI flow validation and regression detection in production.
• 4. Cloud Platforms: Exposure to AWS, Azure, or GCP for testing cloud-hosted and distributed systems.
• 5. Containerization: Basic understanding of Docker and Kubernetes for running tests in isolated, reproducible environments.
• 6. Unix/Linux: Comfort navigating Linux environments and writing shell scripts.
• 7. Git: Proficiency with Git version control, branching strategies, and PR-based workflows.

Key Attributes

• 1. A quality-first mindset - you advocate for the end user in every sprint.
• 2. Curious and adaptable: you embrace AI tools as force multipliers, not replacements for critical thinking.
• 3. Strong communicator who can translate technical defects into clear, actionable language for stakeholders at all levels.
• 4. Data-driven: you make decisions grounded in metrics, coverage reports, and test analytics.
• 5. Collaborative team player who thrives in cross-functional squads with engineers, PMs, and designers.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

Minimum of 3 years of experience in software QA, with at least 1 year involving automation or AI-assisted testing.
