Job Description

We are looking for a Quality Engineer (L5), a senior-level engineering role responsible for ensuring product reliability, performance, and compliance across complex distributed systems. With 5–8 years of experience, this role blends technical depth with hands-on test strategy, automation leadership, and cross-functional collaboration.

You will design end-to-end test architectures, build automation frameworks, integrate quality into CI/CD pipelines, and shape engineering practices that raise product standards across teams. This role partners closely with software engineering, infrastructure, product management, data engineering, and security teams to ensure high-quality releases, consistent validation patterns, and efficient issue resolution.

Core Responsibilities:

• Define, implement, and maintain test strategies for backend, frontend, mobile, API, data, and distributed systems.
• Develop and optimize automation frameworks for functional, integration, performance, and regression testing.
• Build automated test pipelines integrated with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD).
• Partner with engineers to define acceptance criteria, testing requirements, and non-functional quality standards.
• Lead root-cause analysis, defect documentation, and quality-related escalations.
• Deploy observability tools (metrics, logs, traces) to validate system reliability and performance.
• Conduct performance, load, and stress testing aligned to SLO/SLI expectations.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory, security, and audit requirements relevant to client environments
• Maintain test data management strategies, including synthetic data generation and anonymization.
• Mentor junior QA and automation engineers, uplifting team maturity and engineering discipline.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

• 5–8 years of experience in quality engineering, automation engineering, or software engineering.
• Strong proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go).
• Deep experience designing automation frameworks using Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or equivalent tools.
• Hands-on experience testing REST, GraphQL, gRPC, message queues, and event-driven architectures.
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and Kubernetes-based systems.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and automated testing practices.
• Expertise in defect management, root-cause analysis, and structured test documentation.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Advanced English level (written and spoken) to communicate effectively across global teams.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience in regulated industries such as Life Sciences, healthcare, medical devices, pharma, or finance.
• Exposure to AI/ML quality practices, data validation frameworks, and model-level testing.
• Experience with contract testing, synthetic monitoring, and chaos/resilience testing.
• Familiarity with performance and load-testing tools (JMeter, Locust, k6).
• Certifications in testing, cloud, or quality engineering (ISTQB, AWS/Azure/GCP, etc.).
