Associate Quality Engineer

Role Overview

• Design, develop, and execute functional, integration, and regression test cases in accordance with project requirements using an Agile delivery model
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts using Playwright and AI tools — expanding coverage and hardening regression suites to reduce the most risk
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines so they run automatically on every commit, pull request, and release
• Triage and debug automated test failures, distinguishing real defects from flaky tests, and keep testing suites stable and trustworthy
• Use AI to analyze requirements and identify test scenarios, edge cases, and automation opportunities — leveraging AI tools to enhance test velocity
• Perform API testing, UI testing, and backend validation with strong attention to test pyramid design
• Reproduce, isolate, and document defects with clear, actionable reports — then automate a test that would have caught them
• Build and maintain test data, fixtures, mocks, and environments needed for reliable, repeatable automation
• Review requirements and designs to identify what should be automated and at which layer
• Track and report quality signals: test coverage, pass/fail trends, flake rate, and pipeline health
• Participate in sprint planning, grooming, and retrospectives — supporting release readiness and production validation when required
• Collaborate with developers on testability, code reviews, and shifting quality earlier in the development cycle
• Continuously learn and apply new automation tools, patterns, and techniques with guidance from senior engineers

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience (bootcamp, self-taught with a portfolio, internships, etc.)
• 1–2 years of experience in software development, test automation, or SDET work (internships and substantial academic/personal projects count)
• Proficiency in TypeScript or JavaScript for writing automated tests; familiarity with Python, C#, or other languages is also welcome
• Hands-on experience or coursework with Playwright for end-to-end test automation
• Understanding of software testing fundamentals: the test pyramid, types of testing, the bug lifecycle, and what makes a test reliable vs. flaky
• Comfortable using AI coding tools (such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to accelerate day-to-day QE work
• Knowledge of API testing tools (Postman, REST clients)
• Comfortable working in a modern IDE, particularly Visual Studio Code, including extensions and the integrated debugger
• Strong understanding of SDLC / Agile methodology
• Strong analytical and debugging skills, with a careful eye for detail
• Clear written and verbal communication and the ability to document defects precisely.
