About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer who brings a strong QA foundation and the ability to independently define, drive, and execute testing strategies across complex systems.

This role is ideal for a hands‑on QA professional with a strong foundation in quality assurance principles, proven experience in manual, functional, and API testing, and the confidence to design and execute test strategies from scratch.

You will play a critical role in shaping how quality is defined, measured, and delivered across complex systems. The ideal candidate is a self‑starter and problem solver, comfortable operating with autonomy, influencing cross‑functional teams, and advocating for quality at every stage of the SDLC.

What You’ll Do

Quality Strategy & Execution

• Design, implement, and evolve end‑to‑end test strategies for new and existing applications, including functional, regression, integration, and API testing.
• Perform hands‑on manual and functional testing, ensuring software meets business requirements, quality standards, and user expectations.
• Build and maintain a comprehensive, high‑value test library with minimal redundancy, covering positive, negative, edge‑case, and regression scenarios.
• Ensure thorough requirements traceability, identifying gaps, risks, and ambiguities early in the development lifecycle.

API & Systems Testing

• Plan, execute, and analyze API tests to validate data integrity, business logic, error handling, and system integrations.
• Partner with development and architecture teams to understand backend workflows, dependencies, and integration points.

Collaboration & Influence

• Actively participate in requirements, design, and architecture reviews, providing thoughtful feedback on testability, usability, and risk.
• Build strong relationships with Product, Engineering, and Business partners, serving as a trusted advisor and quality advocate.
• Clearly communicate test results, risks, and recommendations to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Defect Management & Metrics

• Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects with clear reproduction steps and impact analysis.
• Establish, track, and report QA metrics that demonstrate quality health, test effectiveness, and release readiness.
• Conduct internal audits to ensure adherence to QA processes and continuous improvement opportunities.

Leadership & Mentorship

• Own QA efforts for assigned initiatives with minimal oversight, managing priorities and delivering on commitments.
• Serve as a mentor and coach to junior QA team members, promoting best practices and strong QA fundamentals.
• Collaborate with automation teams to ensure manual test cases are automation‑ready and aligned with automation strategy (hands‑on automation is not required, but strong understanding is).

Operational Support

• Provide accurate effort estimates, manage testing timelines, and ensure on‑time delivery.
• Participate in a rotational on‑call schedule, as needed, to support releases or production issues.
