This is not a QA automation engineer role. You need to have adept programming skills to get through the interview and be successful in the role. We are looking for true Software engineers who like to break things.   Responsibilities - Spearhead the process to shift from manual testing to fully automated e2e tests, integration tests, and unit tests so we can do frequent releases with minimal issues. - Design, write, and own large-scale integration tests in Python for backend services and end-to-end tests for frontend applications. - Clearly define test strategies for features, and implement those strategies across multiple features being worked concurrently. - Identify needed test cases during discovery and development and develop a test plan before release. - Evaluate features for risk, interior, and exterior impact - what are the big problems, and how can we establish confidence during discovery and development - Develop and improvise on existing testing framework and test automation for developer and testing efficiency - Identify and resolve performance and reliability issues - Triage bugs and write actionable bug reports - Own, improve, and maintain CI/CD pipelines - Work with the Project Manager, the feature lead, and the feature team daily for timely testing and release of the features to production. Requirements - Proven track record of building features from the concept phase to delivery, managing all testing aspects of the SDLC process. - Extensive experience managing the test process for medium to large projects. - 2+ years of industry experience leading the testing process. - A deep understanding and hands-on experience programming in Python or other high-level languages. - A deep understanding of e2e testing frameworks like Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress. - Experience writing unit tests. - Familiarity with the client and server-side build processes & tools like Jenkins, Circle CI, or equivalents. - You like to break things more than building, and have a knack for finding the edge cases, and corner cases and building test cases for them. - You believe in the mission that releases can be as frequent as needed, without much manual testing. What We Offer - Competitive salary package designed to reward your expertise and contributions. - Access to continuous learning and career advancement programs. - Opportunities for mentorship and coaching to help you grow in your career. - Supportive and collaborative work environment where ideas are valued and teamwork is encouraged. - Complimentary snacks and lunch provided to keep you energized throughout the shift. - Latest MacBook Pro and a high-performance monitor will be provided to boost your productivity. - We’ve partnered with select universities in the US to provide “fast track” admissions to star performers who may want to pursue their Masters in CS in the US. - High performers will be sponsored for L1 visas as well as immigrant visas (Green Card) to the US.
