Position Overview
We are seeking aQuality Assurance Engineer to support Agile/Scrum processes and team coordination while developing and maintaining automated testing solutions for complex web-based applications. This role combines Scrum Master responsibilities with hands‑on QA test automation, with limited manual testing as needed, and will work closely with Product Owners, developers, QA engineers, and business stakeholders throughout the software development lifecycle.

The ideal candidate has experience facilitating Scrum ceremonies and coordinating cross-functional Agile teams, along with hands‑on experience building and maintaining automation frameworks, testing APIs and integrations, incorporating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines, and troubleshooting test failures. Experience using AI-assisted development/testing tools such as GitHub Copilot is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate and support Agile/Scrum ceremonies, including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Work closely with Product Owners and Development teams to ensure user stories have clear requirements, acceptance criteria, and testing expectations.
• Help maintain and prioritize the team backlog, ensuring QA-related tasks, defects, and dependencies are appropriately tracked.
• Identify and communicate sprint blockers, dependencies, and risks to the appropriate stakeholders.
• Track sprint progress and provide visibility into team status, testing readiness, outstanding defects, and delivery risks.
• Partner with Product Owners, developers, and business stakeholders to facilitate communication and keep teams aligned on sprint goals and deliverables.
• Drive continuous improvement discussions during retrospectives and help identify opportunities to improve team processes, quality, and delivery.

Quality Assurance & Test Automation

• Develop, maintain, and execute automated test suites for web applications, APIs, integrations, and critical end-to-end business workflows.
• Build and enhance scalable automation frameworks using modern testing tools and programming/scripting languages.
• Create automated unit, integration, API, regression, smoke, and end-to-end tests based on application risk and testing strategy.
• Apply automation design patterns such as Page Object Model (POM) and reusable component-based approaches.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines to provide fast feedback throughout the development lifecycle.
• Troubleshoot flaky or failing automated tests by identifying root causes related to application code, test data, environments, timing, or test design.
• Perform API testing to validate contracts, functionality, integrations, security, error handling, and data accuracy.
• Implement automated accessibility testing and validate applications against WCAG guidelines.
• Use mocks, stubs, fakes, and other testing techniques to isolate dependencies and improve test reliability.
• Leverage AI-assisted development and testing tools, including GitHub Copilot, to improve test creation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and overall QA efficiency.
• Test AI/LLM-enabled application functionality, including expected behavior, edge cases, error handling, and response quality where applicable.
• Perform limited manual, exploratory, and regression testing when appropriate.
• Identify, reproduce, document, and track defects through resolution.
• Collaborate with developers, product teams, and business stakeholders to understand requirements and ensure appropriate test coverage.
• Participate in code reviews, release planning, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Required Skills & Experience

• Experience supporting or facilitating Agile/Scrum teams.
• Experience facilitating Scrum ceremonies and coordinating cross-functional Agile teams.
• Understanding of Scrum roles, sprint planning, backlog management, sprint metrics, and Agile delivery practices.
• Ability to identify blockers, dependencies, risks, and process improvements and communicate them effectively to stakeholders.
• 2+ years of professional QA automation, SDET, or software testing experience.
• Hands‑on experience developing and maintaining automated tests for web-based applications.
• Experience with modern UI automation tools such as Playwright, Mabl, Cypress, Selenium, or similar.
• Understanding of automation framework design and common design patterns such as Page Object Model.
• Experience with API testing using Postman, REST APIs, or similar tools.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar.
• Working knowledge of Git/version control and modern development workflows.
• Experience troubleshooting test failures, flaky tests, test data issues, and environment-related problems.
• Understanding of unit, integration, API, and end-to-end testing strategies and when each should be used.
• Familiarity with SQL and database/data validation.
• Experience with Jira or similar defect/test management tools.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Associate or bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
