Job Description

·      The Quality Engineer (Tester) is responsible for ensuring robust software quality through comprehensive functional and regression testing of critical on-premise systems operating in secure environments. 

·      The role emphasizes strict adherence to governance standards, evidence-based testing, and strong documentation practices.

·       As the role matures, the Quality Engineer will progressively transition into designing, building, and scaling automated testing capabilities using enterprise-grade automation tools, supporting project’s cloud-first strategy and centralized automation framework. 

Key Responsibilities 

·      Functional Testing (Initial Focus) Design, execute, and maintain functional, system, and regression test cases in accordance with established quality and governance standards. 

·      Analyze business and technical requirements to derive comprehensive test scenarios with full traceability to requirements. 

·      Collaborate closely with project teams, developers, and business users to clarify test scope, objectives, and acceptance criteria. 

·      Prepare and manage test data; handle environment constraints and dependencies in secure or restricted systems. 

·      Execute tests and capture detailed test evidence to meet audit, compliance, and governance requirements.

·       Log, track, triage, and validate defects using standard defect management tools; work with development teams to support timely resolution.

·       Communicate test progress, results, risks, and quality metrics clearly to project stakeholders. 

·      Produce high-quality testing documentation, including test plans, test designs, execution reports, and test summary reports, using standard templates and best practices.

·       Contribute to the development and maintenance of reusable regression test suites to support future automation initiatives. 

·      Automation Testing (Progressive Focus) Design and develop modular, reusable automated test cases for prioritized business-critical flows using enterprise automation tools (e.g., Tosca, Selenium, Playwright). 

·      Build, enhance, and maintain scalable and maintainable automation frameworks aligned with enterprise standards. 

·      Support the transition from local automation development to centralized, cloud-based automation authoring and execution environments. 

·      Track, analyze, and report automation coverage, execution stability, and quality metrics.

·       Establish and promote automation best practices, reusable components, and shared libraries.

·       Maintain comprehensive documentation for automated test scripts, frameworks, and execution results.

Required Skills & Experience

·       3–5 years of experience in software testing with a strong foundation in functional and regression testing. 

·      Proven ability to design comprehensive and well-structured test cases from business and technical requirements.

·       Strong documentation skills with experience in evidence-based testing aligned to governance and compliance standards.

·       Hands-on experience with test automation tools or strong readiness to transition into automation-focused testing.

·       Working knowledge of SQL for test data preparation, validation, and troubleshooting.

·       Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (e.g., Java, Python, JavaScript, C#).

·       Experience with API testing and validation techniques (e.g., REST APIs).

·       Familiarity with defect tracking and test management tools such as JIRA or Azure DevOps.

·       Experience working in secure, restricted, or regulated IT environments. 

·      Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills with the ability to engage effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

·      Highly Desirable Qualifications Formal testing certifications (e.g., ISTQB Foundation, ISTQB Test Automation Engineer, Tosca certifications).

·       Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and cloud-based environments.

·       Knowledge of performance testing concepts, methodologies, and tools. Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and Agile / DevOps delivery methodologies.
