This role is expected to leverage AI-assisted development and testing tools to enhance productivity, improve test coverage, accelerate defect detection, and continuously optimise software quality processes. The successful candidate will demonstrate a quality-first mindset while embracing emerging technologies and modern engineering practices.

Scope of Responsibilities

  • Develop, execute, and maintain manual and automated test cases based on product requirements and design specifications.
  • Design and implement test automation frameworks and testing tools to improve test coverage and efficiency.
  • Leverage AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate test case creation, automate repetitive testing activities, improve defect analysis, and increase testing effectiveness.
  • Evaluate and incorporate AI-based testing techniques and tools to improve product quality, testing efficiency, and engineering productivity.
  • Perform functional, integration, system, regression, performance, and end-to-end testing.
  • Identify, document, track, and verify software defects through resolution.
  • Collaborate with software developers, product owners, and other stakeholders to clarify requirements and ensure testability.
  • Participate actively in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
  • Contribute to continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes by integrating automated testing into development pipelines.
  • Analyse test results, prepare test reports, and communicate quality metrics to project stakeholders.
  • Ensure compliance with established quality standards, testing methodologies, and engineering best practices.
  • Support investigation and validation of customer-reported issues and production incidents when required.
  • Continuously evaluate and recommend improvements to testing processes, tools, and frameworks.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline.
  • Typically 2–5 years of experience in software testing, quality assurance, or software engineering.
  • Experience developing and maintaining automated test frameworks and test automation solutions.
  • Experience testing cloud-based, web, desktop, or distributed software systems.
  • Familiarity with programming or scripting languages such as C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
  • Experience with testing tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or equivalent.
  • Experience leveraging AI-assisted development or testing tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, AI-powered testing platforms) to improve engineering efficiency and software quality.
  • Knowledge of software development lifecycle (SDLC), Agile/Scrum methodologies, and CI/CD practices.
  • Familiarity with defect tracking and test management tools such as Jira, or equivalent.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with API testing using Postman, or equivalent tools.
  • Experience with CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
  • Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Knowledge of performance, security, or load testing methodologies.
