Role & Responsibilities:
– Test Strategy & Hybrid Testing: Plan, design, and execute comprehensive test strategies encompassing both manual exploration and automated testing for web and mobile applications.
– Automation Framework Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable automated test scripts, focusing primarily on Playwright for web applications, and relevant tools for mobile platforms.
– Technical Mentorship: Act as a technical guide and advisor for junior QA team members; review their test cases, automated scripts, and provide constructive feedback to elevate team capabilities without administrative people-management duties.
– Requirements & Risk Analysis: Participate in product requirement and architecture reviews early in the development lifecycle (Shift-Left) to identify edge cases, potential risks, and ensure complete testability.
– CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Collaborate with development and DevOps teams to integrate Playwright and mobile automation suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous, reliable production deployments.
– Defect Tracking & Quality Metrics: Oversee end-to-end defect logging, verification, and tracking; utilize data and metrics to identify recurring quality bottlenecks and suggest process improvements.
Qualifications:
– Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, IT, or related fields.
– Minimum 5 years of experience in Software Quality Assurance, with strong proven experience handling both Manual and Automation testing.
– Solid hands-on experience with Playwright for web automation testing.
– Proven experience testing both Web and Mobile (iOS & Android) applications.
– Strong experience with Mobile Testing/Automation tools (e.g., Appium, Robot Framework, or native testing tools).
– Familiarity with API testing tools (e.g., Postman) and integrating test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
– Excellent coaching and communication skills with a passion for mentoring junior engineers.
– Critical thinker with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and a high attention to detail.
– Good command of English (both written and spoken) for technical communication.
