Responsibilities:

We are on the hunt for a Senior QA Engineer who doesn’t just test but builds testing systems that push the boundaries of automation, innovation, and intelligence. If you have over 6 years of experience, a strong foundation in Python-based automation, and a keen interest in applying AI/ML to quality assurance, then you might just be our next game-changer.

What will you do-

• Automate Everything: Design, develop, and scale Python-based automation frameworks (web, API, data validation).
• Innovate with AI: Lead experiments using AI/ML (self-healing tests, test summarization, bug prediction) and integrate successful models into the QA ecosystem.
• Drive Quality: Own the quality bar across projects by applying functional, integration, system, regression, and exploratory testing practices.
• Collaborate Broadly: Engage with product, data science, DevOps, and engineering teams globally to create high-quality, reliable releases.
• Modernize QA: Introduce and advocate for open-source tools, GenAI copilots, and prompt-based automation across test suites.

 Desired Qualifications:

• 6+ years in QA with a focus on automation, Python as primary language.
• Comfortable with tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or other productivity copilots.
• Experience building scalable automation frameworks from scratch (Playwright, Selenium, Pytest).
• Strong understanding of QA fundamentals—test design, defect lifecycle, requirements analysis.
• Hands-on experience in AI/ML  with a mindset to explore more.
• Experience in API testing (REST Assured, Postman) and SQL-based data validations.
• CI/CD tools exposure (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
• Knowledge of Docker/Kubernetes and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) is a plus.

 Nice-to-Haves

• Exposure to AI-based test generation or test maintenance tools 
• Familiarity with performance, security, or visual regression testing.
• Experience with BDD (pytest-bdd, Behave) and exploratory testing techniques.
• Contribution to open-source QA tools or innovation platforms.

Why Join our team

• Innovation Playground: Lead AI/ML PoCs that redefine how testing works.
• Global Collaboration: Work with passionate teams across continents—share ideas, exchange knowledge, grow together.
